Best Settings for a new comer?

[SkelSkout]

My girl wants to join me in the game but she think its too hard just from watching me play so im trying to find the best setting that could ease her into the game then gets harder.

its a dedicated server we host and we dont want to use mods for now.

Ask her what she thinks is hard about the game, then go from there.

Turn down the starting population and either turn down the peak or extend the time until it reaches the peak.

I'd also suggest turning transmission to saliva only (so only bites can turn you) or off entirely.

Turning zombie memory down also helps make losing them a bit more forgiving.

What kinds of games does she play, if she really doesn’t game a whole whole lot this game is going to be a nightmare for her

[DivineEvil]

I'd start from the Survivor present and:
- Set Freezer effectiveness to good.
- Set zombies to Slow Shamblers.
- Halve the base population value.
- Add extra 4 points for traits.

I think that should be enough of a handicap without making it too easy and boring.

Lower zombie population and peak, either longer timescale or slower player needs, turning transmission down should handle most of the difficulty

turning transmission down?

[Tiberius]

Set population to very low, slow shamblers, and bad vision+smelling ability. Very tough, but weak zombie.

Set loot to very rare. Set locked car and house to very high, but set the car condition to very good (repairing a car is a chore). Set farming and freezer effectiveness to very high (resilient plant, high yield, etc). Set meta events to very high (except for helicopter event). 1hour=1day.

Basically, i prefer to streamline the boring chores and focus on the exploration instead.

[Morde]

Only setting I always mess with is Zombie respawns. They migrate from cell to cell anyway, so I just disable the respawns.
