Never tried it, sounds absolutely terrible. I love it.

I do it pretty much every single player run. Multiplayer it sucks though cause you can't speed up time while exercising, so I usually don't bother with it there.

All the time lately
hey, that's my life

Nearly all of my play time was with characters like that. It's all about the long term growth!

it does give a more realistic experience

cant pick up heavy items like its nothing
encumber decision between holding a soda can and holding a weapon.

The inventories is like real life, you could carry 30kg of stuff, but not all invididual stuff. If you try to carry multiple differnt shaped things around without a bag, up 24lb of it. Cant be done

Same at 0 0 cant be done.

If you ever crack a coconut with a hammer you see its very hard sometimes
same with zombies.

Do you mean unmodded game or modded one ? Do you mean spawning as a physically gimped character and roleplaying full sneaker and escapist character or accepting a challange for combat aswell ?

Do you mean a true pacifist build ?

My humble opinion about the unmodded, full vanilla gaming (pve) experience is; grabbing certain other skills and avoiding combat is actually wiser then fighting. Anyhow, most of us gamers get bored and gets baited to sucky melee combat against waves of zombies sooner or later. Then one bite does the job.

0 0 is a frustration experience i dont personally enjoy. But i may just for the fun knock some points off of either or both but usually the result is a lose game. I only do it for the huge build. Otherwise for the smart build u just take what u need. For example fresh server build, u wnna be good, but if its a few lifes in then u start messing around with traits more, trying to bring more and more boosts costing your fitness.

I do 0 str, x fitness to simulate a younger survivor who is literally growing up in the apocalypse and has to learn pretty much everything on their own. Zero fitness is pretty awful though, and unless you're really skilled (or a masochist) it shouldn't be tried.

It’s a good idea on a cdda
Illiterate is totally useable on a wide build. Shame writes off all books, though an illiterate person born in the apocalypse would still get enjoyment out of the pictures. Only going for the first 3 points in all book crafts, still totally survivable actually preferable. Sledge is after all a no skill required. Sheet rope and barricade can make total safety. You never need to be more than 3 trapping, but it would nice to be more than 4 tailoring but it’s not important single player. Though fishing would be useful so maybe a part of illiterate pays for that 75%, though that is even without ability to read debatably useful. Though the kid would have to be a cook. Unemployed can make quite a suitable wide build for illiterate and weak. With okay fitness. Maybe he’s a fast healer.

Seems pointless. For a real challenge, just turn your monitor off. Feeeeeeel where the zombies are, all blind swordsman style. Anything less is just affectations.

@ William_es I strive to achieve your level of Carradine-like zen with every playthrough. :steamlaughcry:

There's a literacy mod that includes a children's 'learn to read' book. Literacy in this mod is expressed as a numerical 0-10 skill just like all the others, and if you're illiterate and read the book, you now have a very low level of reading, but can still read (very slowly) with guaranteed progression all the way to level 10 if you can read as many books as you can find. Well recommended.

I think that as far as farming, trapping, foraging and fishing goes, if you keep using them you'll eventually get a super high level for them, and can start at a lower level while experiencing mixed results that you can still live with.

Now that I've seen firsthand what a master tailor can do with light clothing, I'll never not train on it as high as I can get.

Lowest I go is 3

0 just sounds like an absolute nightmare
Karina Mar 25, 2023 @ 8:53pm 
0 strength - sometimes.
Fitness lower then 4- never.
hardy_conrad Mar 25, 2023 @ 9:44pm 
I don't mind starting with stats lower than five. But, not a huge deal less... Super low fitness I can get by with since it'll level to a reasonable point without a huge amount of effort, but low strength can be a massive pain. Your health dropping to 75 percent isn't great but the real problem is how slow you are when overloaded.
