Water & Electricity
I'm well aware power & water is supposed to shut off anywhere from 2-6 months but does anyone else feel like this changed? I'm a month and 1 day in and power and water has already shut off. On top of that the water went out a week earlier than the power did.

Is this a change that happened in the new build? As far as im aware it shouldnt be shutting off not even close to this early in the game.

Weeks, not months. And they can both shut off at any time. Just very low chances for the first couple weeks but pretty sure I've lost water in week 1.

Wiki can not stay on top of the perpetual development of this game. Default for all the default summer modes is in the first month.

Default setting if you don't change it via sandbox settings is 0-30 days- And yes, You can literally start a save and have one or both off. or off within the first few hours. It's rough.

Why even have a wiki for this game if nothing is accurate? This is the first time I've heard of a wiki for any game being inaccurate.

People literally just told you the game is constantly being updated and changed. The whole purpose of a wiki is that it's a group effort maintained by a community. Not by the developers. Nobody is being paid to update these pages.

But of course you have to go "NoThInG Is AcCuRaTe' like every single damn page is now suddenly useless... That's not how this works, bud.

There are other platforms the game is on, the steam platform has the best forums as theyre accessible and active. You need to calm down.
Default apocalypse mode is 1-30 days for water and electricity shut off.

Perfectly fine just dont appreciate someone coming after me for not knowing something. Clearly I'm a new player but there was 0 need to be a complete ass about it.
You get what you give.

Appreciate the feedback

i noticed over time the buildings get cracks in their walls and grow ivy on them, is this any physical form of degradation or is it just visual?

1) Why would you ask this in an existing random thread and not create your own?
2) It's purely visual
