10+ years and food spawn still bugged

[Water]

Still one of the worst games out there. Spawning in and dying in 30 mins due to zero availablity of food and water is junk game design

Don’t hope for much of anything if you’re looting the spawn areas since those areas will be picked clean by other players.

I pretty much loot a few buildings at the start and then immediately move inland. You’ll have much better luck doing this.

If you rely solely on packaged foods, you are going to have this attitude. Food is everywhere, you just need to look in the right places.

Listen for chickens, and search for fruit and mushrooms. Once you have a chicken, use the bones to make fish hooks, and you have unlimited food.

Uhh what? The only thing i saw in my 30 mins of giving this game a second try was a cow. There were no chickens, fruit nor mushrooms. When the server is full, theres not enough food to sustain people. Its just bad game design, period.

The spawns should have plenty of food but no weapons/clothing/valuuable items. Otherwise whats the point of even playing lol.

It's a survival game .. the point is to survive .. your lack of experience, is not a "game bug".
But, okay, you saw a cow .. Why didn't you kill it, cut it up, and cook it for food? A cow will feed you for a week.

“Survival game”…..ain’t exactly supposed to be easy. It’s all about the early struggle. Once you get over that hurdle, you’re basically set.

Mushroom spawn around dead trees in the forest, or around hay bales on farms .. fruit spawns under the fruit trees in the yards of houses, or along some tree-lines .. Very few "orchards" actually have spawnable fruit trees. Chickens can be found in just about every town, somewhere .. you have to listen for them.

More than 10 years have passed, and a person breaks only one leg in the whole body, 10 and many more

I seem not to be able to find water bottles lately, it's driving me crazy.

Once you give up looking for them, they’ll be everywhere. Or like….you’ll spend hours looking then you’ll die and the first thing you’ll find will be a water bottle. 🥲

You don't even really need water, if you don't eat dry foods like chips, crackers, salty sticks or dried fruit, mushrooms, meat .. regular baked foods have enough water, and boiled foods have even more water in them. Heck, even raw fruit has enough water to keep you alive.

I read some reddit threads on Livonia, and common consensus is it's a veterans map. Essentially Official + Hardcore at that point.

Seems like everywhere I walked had a pistol lying on the ground though, and if you want to avoid PvP you're stuck looking at Hay Bales for 1-2 mushrooms, occasional zombie kill then sprint to next town.

Also, joining a 30+ server is asking for trouble as a solo. Most of the time it's a pair of duos, trios that are 1k+ hours and know how to play.

Oh, that's gonna kill me alright.

Thing is, it's all a loop.

I use them up as suppressors, then I run low, so I look for people to shoot silently and take their water bottles to use them as suppressors, then I run low, so I look for people to shoot silently and take their water bottles to use them as suppressors, then I run low, so I look for people to shoot silently and take their water bottles to use them as suppressors.

Fruit trees are pretty good around high pop areas

I'd argue the opposite. To me, Livonia is like DayZ Easy-mode. Food everywhere, warmer temps, plenty of places (farms/sheds) to get out of the rain ..

Your second comment is very telling though, as to why you are having issues early on .. stop Sprinting everywhere .. Unless you are directly under attack, you should never be sprinting in early-game. Jog, or crouch and sneak, saves your energy, and allows you to gain advantage over Infected when approaching towns.
