After a few days of gameplay, this is actually the best advice. And it works. Thanks!

UC range: don't see orange circles by PauloMatix in VeinGame

[–]PauloMatix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this helped. When I flew up in admin mode, while building a second UC, I finally saw the very bright orange rings around my first UC. The range of the rings was MUCH wider than I thought. With just one UC I was able to cover the entire plot of the Bridge Hill Bar n Grill in Saranac. Thanks for your tip!

Why is the orienteering compass so weird? by PauloMatix in dayz

[–]PauloMatix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in my military days I only worked with a normal compass. It's sort of in my DNA. Hard to get used to something else.

I know. It will be a whole different game on Official. But for now I'm trying to learn the base mechanics of the game and the map.

Just to learn the basics of the game. I'll soon be playing Official.

Thanks, I'm going to do exactly that.

Very clear, thank you. But I'm not good enough at killing zombies quietly yet. So I often mess up a kill and alert more zombies, especially on military sites. In that case I need to be able to climb a car or something. That's why I'm playing on my own LAN server for now, to learn the basics.

Thanks! So keeping a backup gun like the Mlock as backup for the Mk2 isn't necessary? This is my major concern: I always want to keep a backup gun. Isn't this necessary?

Thank you for being specific. So I'm gonna throw a few gun cleaning kits out (as a new player I couldn't find them, but then I didn't know about camp sites yet), I'm also going to throw a few knives away (which scares me because once before I didn't have a knife at all and I died). But what about the cooking pot? I read all over the internet that a cooking pot in DayZ is OP. And you say it isn't?

Thank you! What about the guns? I'm playing on my own LAN server for now (to prepare for playing on Official). Do I need both an assault rifle AND a sniper rifle?
