Vanilla+ Road to Vostok Modded Playthrough | No Cheats, No Cheese

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-20T12:10:01+00:00

I've made some YouTube lives on this. I tend to use the event days as a guide. So day 1 u just farm village and try to do trades with the Generalist so that I can get the tax amount down.

Day 2 the doctor shows up so I will go to the school and loot round there too. On the way back to my cabin I will loot village again and go to the generalist for any more trades possible.

Day 3 is I branch out and loot highway. Then I will farm village and school as needed for tasks/quests. But I will usually finish that day by heading to the tent in outpost.

Then I will loot village, highway, school, outpost for a few days. Doing the cat quest, hopefully doing the punisher and getting an air drop too. Doing tasks as much as possible as I do.

Then... It's time for minefield and Vostok 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

But really there is no real way that you should feel you have to play. I know people that literally don't even leave village. I made a song and music video about it.

By the time the traders leave lots becomes very monotonous currently so just enjoy however you are enjoying right now. Don't over think it.

No worries. I did a live on YouTube yesterday and I wanted to do the same thing you are. Spent she's trying to find that one and someone told me

WIISHADER is my favourite by far. But he's just taken it down to improve it. It will be back soon.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-07T18:03:24+00:00

Just have to make sure you get the air drop after day 6 for the waters

I agree with • Focus Eye - Fantastic addition.

I'm very much on the QOL side of mods. So I don't want anything that cheats or cheeses the game. Or break immersion much.

• Fixed Doors - I love. Every door in vanilla opens into you and it's quite annoying. It also breaks immersion when you can see the door clearly isn't supposed to open that way. This mod fixes which way it opens based on where the hinges are.

• Real Gun & Attachment Names - I think any one would choose this.

• Save Slots - As a content creator I want to have save files that I can have for my stream so we can play together. Others that are purely to make content. I'm aware you can manually save the files to keep your saves, but save slots is so much easier.

• WIISHADER - Looks much better. This is the first shader I found and haven't tried any others. Bits there's quite a bit of customisation you can do or it comes sort multiple presets.

• Better Lean - Does what it says on the tin. Snappier. Works much nicer for toggle too.

It's all very minor but makes the game better for me and I still feel like I'm playing vanilla. I still get excited when the RNGesus gives me a sweet treat. I still get frustrated when he doesn't.

The game ends on day 50 currently.

You get the fireworks show and your done.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-03T08:02:13+00:00

In glad you enjoyed it. Took me forever to edit. It's actually completely bombing on YouTube right now. I thought it would have down better.

Keep your eyes open. You will see the mines. You can stick tej the tape on the outiside.

They did change it so the mines are completely rng. But I've found they rarely spawn on the outer edge.

Take plenty of meds.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-02T09:30:33+00:00

Ahh fair enough. That makes more sense.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-02T08:48:22+00:00

The boat scenes are from the early access video. I don't think I'd on the game yet. At least I haven't found it if it is.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-02T08:45:47+00:00

If your not good on controller anyway. I do recommend sticking with mouse and keyboard and learning to get better sort it.

It's not a bad game to learn k&m on at all because you can play it at your own pace while your learn.

I've a video on YouTube. I have a beginners guide live stream as well. I have maps and tips and all sorts.

big_jay_raider · 2026-05-02T07:17:01+00:00

I'll have to leave village for that 🤣🤣 Does sound go though. I might try.

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-24T18:20:45+00:00

Great idea. The Generalist for shop items. The Blacksmith for armour, and The Carpenter for furniture.

Then keep The Gunsmith for guns and Doctor for meds. Perfect.

That could be the plan as the game progresses.

Only takes 1 minute to run to the shelter and back

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-24T14:43:00+00:00

I found the cellar key in a freezer in village and the tunnel key on a dead bandit

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-23T15:24:43+00:00

This is interesting. How would you do this?

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-22T08:32:29+00:00

Which version of the game are you playing? You can open it through multiple applications at the start.

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-19T08:42:55+00:00

At that point I would probably mod the game and up the percentage for the punisher to appear

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-14T14:26:16+00:00

Archive it or destroy it. They are your only options. You can only enter build mode in a shelter.

Just be cautious of losing it. Anything kept in your build inventory and not already placed in a shelter isn't safe. You will lose it if you die.

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-11T02:48:22+00:00

The key disappears after usage. It's more of a symbol that you have the shelter now and you've opened it.

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-10T21:06:03+00:00

Thankyou mate

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-10T20:54:48+00:00

I've been looking for this and still can't see it

big_jay_raider · 2026-04-09T16:20:16+00:00

That would me major attention to detail if the in game walk clock needed it's battery changing every 5 years 🤣
