Day limit?

[Nosfer 😂👌🏻]

Is there a day limit? Can I play it slow or should I rush it, going to the quests locations?

[jpcerutti]

Some things you must rush - but most of it you have plenty of time to accomplish.

You must rush repairing your fence. Shorter term lesser rushes are survival (collecting what you need), raising morale, and finding people. Long term, the game can last over 3 months.

You definitely need to rescue some NPC allies, before certain days. Survivors start to die off at around day 30+ if not recruited.

That is true.

When not finding survivors, i found it best to hit one location at a time (max 2 in a day at first), and with spare time in the day harvest fresh food or assist in building stuff. Therefore you will enjoy the game up until past mid stage and beyond in terms of collecting resources and still exploring. I gather that a lot of people have played through whilst hitting as many locations as they can within the shortest amount of time.

It may help to search for survior locations first and then hit the other general map locations for resources; but dont forget to follow suggestions from shelter survivors as they make them.

There is a map somewhere of location survivors; but id like to requote 'Winlancer'

Other than the above list, you will want to grab Jenifer as well. She will also die if not rescued by a certain day. She is at the resort on the west end of the map, I believe close to the middle vertically.

And another detail on Llloyd, as soon as Hamilton Airport is unlocked to travel to, get him immediately. He will not stick around long and is easy to miss.

IT not require to save them and if we hant to take is time to explore and what he want to do, it is bisness.

you can play slow

i took my time and ended up recruiting 31 people anyway, i had like 5-7 npcs that died on their own, none of them essentials

the pilot dude died off, but i still escaped another way

take your time and enjoy
