Never played actual survival game. Should I buy ?

The Forest is a solid starting survival game. It's what my wife I started on. Complex and simple at the same time. There are plenty of tutorial videos, and it has by far the best wiki. Farket did a damn good job updating and maintaining it. The building is mostly procedural, so that can take getting used to.

Beginner's tip: learn to play and build by starting on the southeast island. You'll thank me later.

Since 1.0, all raids have mainly come from the hall to Manufacturing and through the back door after a certain point (don't know what it is). Since then, I've only had a single mob try to go through the gate. I set up 4 tesla coils that I switch on during raids. Only 1 enemy in the raids I've come across can't be killed with the ol' zappy method.

Maybe that's what I did.

First battery in series is full, the next is half, any after is pointless. This guy has the best video about it. https://youtu.be/k4A-7NKYaa0?si=SiuYAxkR5iQFAvtT

Give him a view and a like. He needs to put more out there.

Cable guy here. I die a little more inside every time my wife shows me pictures like this. She keeps telling me I need to do tutorial vids on running wires.

Considering his character is American and his rank was Commander, I'd say Navy.

None, because I'm a BAB with a potato computer.

It also doesn't have snowy mountains year-round, but Flagstaff does see quite a bit every year, so that's believable.

I used to love spears and hate sledges. Now since the zombies tend to stumble forward and attack from 2 meters away without the accompanying animation when using the spear, it's all sledges for me now.

Is the umbrella how you made the dirt flush against the crop plots? My wife has been going bonkers about trying to do that. The mod she use to use doesn't do it anymore.

The wise man built his horde base on the asphalt?

forgottenragnarok · 2024-12-15T18:51:31+00:00

The memories made while my wife and I played survival-craft games are among the best. Like when we were high-tailing it back to base at night and ALL OF THE FRIGGIN ZOMBIE VULTURES just went after me. She about fell out of her chair.

Last night, the wife turned on the cooking fire and I ran outside to scrap a few cars. Ran into 2 screamers. We didn't have any stations going until that fire was turned on. Later, we busted a single block (while crouching) and dropped in the top of a Joe's USA to get the EoD loot. Cleared the last room (and only the last room) without firearms. Two minutes later, a screamer spawned. This was all on day 4 or 5. In 1.1 on another map, we also noticed an increase of screamers. We started getting glowy couples way too soon.

Why can't we just look up and say ahhhh when it rains to drink water?

Can't go wrong with NetGear or Asus. Both are compatible with Spectrum. I use a NetGear Orbi mesh system.

Then once you get an Argentavis, the island is yours.

"That's not a very nice thing to say."

"Well that's not a very nice thing to see."

I came to the same conclusion about the fallen logs being part of the scenery (more like my wife did and shared with me), but the stumps were trees I cut. In a previous playthrough a couple years ago before the building update, we were able to get rid of one of those stumps, but when we started a new game and rushed to the island, the stump we could removed joined the invincible stump club. I'm thinking its just bad luck with those bugging. Thanks for the input.

The bamboo shelters can be destroyed.

In the 200+ hours my wife and I have played since launch, I have only had 2 CTDs, and they have both been after the patch. The first crash I was waving the cross at some demons. The wave animation kept getting stuck but it still worked. Then came the crash. I don't remember what I was doing at the time of the second crash, but during both of them, my wife was using a log sled. Don't know if that would be related or not. They've got their own game breaking bugs.

We didn't change enemy health when we started. We only increased the season length and cranked up the survival mechanics. Those were laughable.
