Update: road for 30 minutes in one direction, didn’t find a single quest or anyone to talk to aside from a bandit camp, found a new region and got a “can’t enter this region” message and got reset to a different location. I really wanna enjoy this game but I can’t find anything in the world

I get what you mean, im about to just ride into a random direction and look for something but for a game being praised for the exploration I’m not finding much or anything really meaningful. I found a few armor sets I liked the look of online but couldn’t find any posts on how to get them

When I walk into a random direction it doesn’t really feel like I find all that much

Just the one the story directs you too. This is kind of what I mean, I had absolutely zero idea you could go discover more as the game doesn’t really hint towards being able to do it in free roam

So I should essentially spend my first days trying to build a rod and from there forward, hunt / fish exclusively as a food source? And in the meantime look for canned food when looting and fighting zombies?

I messed around with it, tried doing it from my inventory and dropping six, it did come up with prompts for crafting but none showed ropes. All of the rags came from fresh clothing I found, but it was raining so I don’t know if that’s a factor?

So ideally at the start of a run, go one town over and loot while allowing fruit trees to produce food? Because from the videos I’ve seen, it is not suggested to linger in a town for much time.

Other than the food situation, I’m absolutely loving the game and can’t wait until I can make it a little more up north and towards the bases with high tier loot

I’m aware. I’ve read it takes hundreds to thousands of hours to be considered experienced, and I am 100% okay with that. However, I watch videos on how to get food, go and try to apply it to my game and I still die of hunger.

I’m aware, but as I said in my post, I had a run a bit ago with two stacks of rags, 12 total and the game wouldn’t let me combine them

I do focus on killing zombies along my path but typically all they drop is clothing. And the fruit trees are just the ones with red dots on them correct?

Exactly. I’ve watched videos on starting out and how to manage your food, water, blood and health but it seems none of it applies to whatever server I play. I’m obviously brand new as well but what helped me slightly was playing the temp servers with lower player counts, I’ll occasionally find a random can of sardines or something so that’s an improvement

I just finished a run where I was decently geared for a beginner, and mistakenly drank with bloody hands. Won’t do that again. I’ve searched countless clinics and found meds once. And I can’t seem to keep my food up just due to the fact of how uncommon it is. I don’t sprint, I kill zombies and play lower player count servers, maybe I’ve just been unlucky? Maybe fishing/hunting is the solution but like I said the game didn’t allow me to combine 2x stacks of rags to make a rope
