Which first? Infirmary or fence?

Infirmary or fence? The infirmary seems like it would be priority one since there is no possible way to avoid damage but i think you lsoe automatically if you dont get the fence repaired by day 3/4 (no matter what hp you get it to if you havent fully fixed it once)...

Tried the infirmary but i got hurt badly by some BAD RNG against a looter with a woodaxe... ended up nearly loosing joel and my main character because using medkit seems to be a bad idea until the infirmary is up as you reduce your max HP everytime you bandage

Personally, I built the Infirmary first. By the time it was finished pretty much all my characters were injured, but 2 days of having Michiru and Renee set to doctor job cured everyone. Also, you can usually start the Infirmary before the fence, plus nobody requests the fence until day 8.

I did the first day run and started the infirmary and what was left i repaired the fence. Considering i only had 2 people able to work on the infirmary it was slow, but if you dont finish the fence game ends when the zombies get in.

Without knowing where to go to get the right survioirs to work on the infirmary it took about 10 days or so build. That was rough on the gathering team 10ish days with no healing.

I havn't played since before the last update. i'd fix the fence and then fix the fridge too.

the infirmary is a life saver i'm sure but i cant get the parts to keep the fence up and get the infirmary >.< i lose right at the start of day 4 no matter how much i repair the fence it seems... probably because i keep getting it really close but not complete

I have fixed the fence, and made a well... well will see how the rest works out tommorow.
But auch this really feels like the game I was missing.

trying to avoid getting hurt again too much. even have joel start to use police shotgun.
The AI fix and the avoid getting hurt part. makes it exciting again.

Fixing the fence is a good idea to do first. But you don't need to fully repair the thing. Just apply the parts you get at the first location you visit and you're set.

You'll probably want to do the Infirmary second because its the only way you'll be able to restore full health on your people currently. They are changing things in an upcoming patch to allow natural healing without one. So the infirmary will be less critical soonish.

Don't worry about upgrading the fence to the next level until you're specifically asked to do so. Just do the minor fence repairs, then the infirmary, then any other projects that look interesting. (I like repairing the fridge and well)
