Yes theres alot left to be desired when it comes to our namesake here..."How To"...^^

Im guessing this isnt meant to be one of the games you play for hours straight, more like one you play for 20-60 minutes at a time until your out of Stamina & it takes 45 minutes to walk from/to the forest or the mines. I understand they wanna make money here but when you restrict the player from doing things they need to because of money, it just doesnt seem right.

I use my stamina up going & doing quest things or making runs for materials & if im somewhere far from home when im done & outta stamina i just choose walk & then log off. When i come back he & the dog are waiting by the front door wanting in, lolz. Also after fighting the Zombie wave once & killing 27 of them & then getting killed by the big a$$ guy with one hit, i decided just to be out for a walk when they drop by, i mean no one likes uninvited guests anyhow xD So when i know their gonna be there i gather up my firearms (if i have any) & anything else i dont wanna take a chance on loosing & just step outside & log-out. Ive found they seem to do more damage if your there & wanting/willing to fight them. Anyhow ive digressed from my original point whatever it may have been. I been up all night playing games & im getting bleary eyed so...Night/Morning to all & to all a good fight!

hey dont tell to anyone but you can fill your stamina changing the time in your pc like changing to one hour foward :)

As usual i guess i did something wrong, it didnt work for me :(

Is it just me or is everyone having a problem getting the game to start? It gets to the wasteland screen w/him & the dog standing there & the words appear at the bottom saying "Starting Game" but it never gets any further than that. It stays on that screen until i shut it down. I tried uninstalling it & reinstalling but it just does the same thing :(

I had the same problem 1 week ago!! First go to user > choose view hidden files> localtemp> appdata > wastelandsurvival> delete survival_com> then open the game

Thanks loads it fixed me...err...the game i mean xD

Also a 3rd Question...

3. Where do i get Maple wood from? All ive found is Pine & i need the Maple for a wood floor to put a certain type of bench on.

once your explorable area expands (after defeating the factory) your base map will expand as well. Once this happens you will have maple trees and copper available in your area.

u only get those ONCE!!!
afterwards its 3rd mine (6 copper 2 maple wood)
3rd wood, (6 maple wood) per run...

Question: Is it worth keeping damaged clothes that you have multiple of?
I keep them just in case there will be a bench to deconstruct them into raw materials. Does anything like that exist or should I just get rid of them?

just to do the upgraded, the damaged is worst than the normal ones.

damaged is gone when its durability is gone, but it still gives better bonus than the fresh crafted cloth! (damaged with the red lightning marked)
armor needs to be at 0 dura to upgrade, ranger cloth+ u also need the recipe once to upgrade.

To me yes it is, because youll be able to repair all those pieces of clothing when you get a certain bench made, right now im at a loss as to its name. Just look in your crafting/construction part of your chars menu & click benches. It will say on it that its the one you can use to repair your damaged armor. An youll need those extra pieces of armor once you get going strong. It takes 20 minutes to repair the basic armor/clothes, then unfortunatly it takes 5 or more hours to repair the next up type, which if i remember is the airforce one. I have a piece right now of the airforce one repairing & it will end up taking about 7 hours just for that one piece. Once you build the bench youll see that theres 3 different upgrades you can make to each piece of eac armor. Another drawback is that they have to be colored red to do any repairing. In other words they have to be basically at 0 durability to be able to start anything & you have to go in their order to upgrade anything. I have like 4 sets of basic armor & 3 or 4 of the airforce type, all in various stages of upgrade. This way i can come back in & change into some good armor & start the repairs on the other & then go back out. As for the 5 hour & up repairs, i make sure i start a piece repairing b4 i go offline each time. Theres alot more to say but my fingers are sore, im hungry & imma go smoke a bowl so GL & "Catch Ya On The Flip Side!"

Whats worst on the game....
Even if u try to throw an almost worn down Stone-axe/pick away the game demands a CONFIRM!!!
just when u have legendary resources and accidentially hit the trashcan instead of split they are thrown away at once... just lost 6 ak-47 items due to that :(

best if u want to wear down eq.... go into any easy area and let em roamers hit and hit you.
make sure u either have something to heal or u dont need your corpse stuff/got the dog up to bring back your eq.

when u craft the alcohol pool, u need 5 yellow tubes, only obtainable in shelter 13 when u cross the ropes and kill the 2 floaters, stinger, purifier and some crap... then unlock the doors at level 2.
recipe alcohol: 3 berries + 1 empty bottle (20min) 1 alcohol


if u want to build a mg turret... once the basic is done u NEED an ak47(m16 for next upgrade) and some special item atm only obtainable from the level 3 mg turret down there, good luck
