This game has a learning curve.. but it doesn't suck.

Cant even begin to survive. the stupid gray freaks keep bugging the ♥♥♥♥ out of me. They never go away even after im up all night. Try to NOT fight them they get provoked. Try to shoo them away with the sling shiot, they just get pissed.

WTF is with this game? The controls are F***. WHY do you not utilize all mouse buttons for mapping?

Update: 3/24/23
Was it frustrating at first, yes.
Was I a bit harsh, yes.
Was I wrong about my initial impression, mostly.

All said and done, survival is tough. BUT, with a little trial and error, ive seemed to adapt.
I still would like to map more actions to my mouse.

Also, the more enemies I kill, the more seem to come after me. Then I have to kill them. And then...well you get the point.

You can use a third party program to remap mouse buttons (I do this even in games that fully support my mouse). I use Logitech G Hub but I’m sure there are more universal programs out there.

I had the same problem with the muddies when I first started. I had to restart a couple of times before I figured out some tactics:
Don’t light a fire where you’re camping. Instead light it further away as a decoy. If you’re on the move, only build a fire and light it in the daytime (I find mornings to be best) and then destroy it (I don’t think there is another way to put it out). If you have to, break down your shelter (C over the sticks or tarp), run away and set up somewhere else to sleep. They don’t usually follow for too long when you’re running. If you are building a base, don’t camp where you’re building.

Honestly it just sounds like a skill issue and that you're bad at the game. Also the grey ones are literally feral you cant pacify them lmfao

What skill ? Doesnt require any as you can just run around and ignore them all. Also once you get Virginia a gun she will be there most of the time to pick them off, in some cases one shotting them. I've also just cleared my first big cave and a massive version of the twins came to my base and killed the cannibal swarm and left which was pretty cool lol

try getting the katana, its especially useful for taking care of the smaller feral cannibals, if you know what you're doing you can use it to take out pretty much any enemy pretty quickly

Why are you using a slingshot? That's for hunting small game you dope. Go explore and find the modern axe/fireaxe and you'll be fine. If you look anything up make it just 1 of those 2 things and go from there. It isn't that hard.
