Tip: You Can Send 3 Survivors Out Scavenging!

[jt47319]

I didn't know this until I was watching a playthrough and they said they learned this from a dev, but you can send 3 survivors out on missions (but only 1 per location): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBgE86rCHko&t=3664s&ab_channel=TranPlays

A suggestion to the devs, in the map UI, put a [1 out of 3] counter to indicate to the player that multiple people can be sent out. Because otherwise there's literally nowhere that I saw that the player could know this mechanic.

Anyways, loving the game so far. Although I think the weapon breakage is a little too OP.

Indeed, we can now create three raids at the same time, and each character avatar is indicated on the map to the left of the location marker. Great.

this should be pinned

I didnt realize you can assign 3 survs for scavenging either tbh.
Well, its great for coming back, picking up leftover ressources indeed! Now i can do 1 "new scavenge run" and clean 2 older locations... While for bigger locations you might need 4 runs anyway.

However, thanks for sharing, have an award! :)

Oh and Devs: Maybe you should point this out in tutorial. I am somebody who doesnt rush things. I am taking my time discovering functions.... But like i said, totally missed this. I bet like 90% of all players will miss it too. :D

How are you sending more than one survivor to scavenge in other areas? Once I set the first survivor to go scavenge the prompt to interact with the map doesn't appear when controlling another survivor.

it works exactly the same way as you do it with the first survivor.

as you can see, 2 survs are set for scavenging already... when i go there with the third surv, prompt is there, as usual.

When the first survivor interacts with the map table and I select an area, choose the items I want them to take with them and confirm that I want them to scavenge, the game exits the map and the survivor is locked in place at the table.

When changing to another survivor and walking them to the table there is no interact prompt so they cannot begin to select where to scavenge on the map.

I am wondering if this is a limitation with the demo, perhaps it isn't possible.

ohhhh, i missed you talk about the demo. ya, makes sense to limit it there. as you could progress wayyyyyy too much if you could scavenge with 2, and 3 later on. they wanted to limit the demo, and what can be done within those 6 days. (understandable)
So ya, i guess that is a design choice, not a bug.

Generation Z. Has it even occurred to you to try? Well, then don't be offended that there will be 100 pages of documentation for the game and you will need to read everything before you start playing.))

I was pretty sure i did try it in the past.
But probably that was in the demo. So, in the back of my head was "doesnt work".
I am definately not generation Z btw, and i am taking my time in games, to explore possibilitys, and i still missed it. Happens.

15 hours and i had no idea. Thanks

The worst part? I only realized that after sinking a few hours into the game.

[celsius03]

something needs to be done about this
there's no indication

OMG
