To Do list @ night time
Greetings,
I was just curious what you guys do at night time in this game? For me, night time in this game is extremely boring. I'm usually just standing around in some place the mutants can't reach or just spotting.

I think it might get better when I get arrows and a base, but until then, the night time is not very interesting. Or perhaps you have a trick to skip night time?

Cheers

try see how far you can build a wooden path at night. Only further the path at night, but you can get logs ready during the day.

Then spruce up the path with traps on either side of it, if you feel like you've earned it.

I wait in my base until the usual raiding party of about 8 cannibals attack and I fight them. If they don't attack my base I go into the woods with a rock and stealth kill patrols I find around the perimeter for fun. After all the fighting I usually have a large supply of body parts and I make large effigies around along with some traps. I try to make it fun.

Thanks for the advice to both of you. Specifically, I took your suggestion and died by one of the dudes wearing the skull necklace; captain or w/e.

Yeah I practically do the same as you, OP. I just go somewhere they can't reach me and wait for daytime. I don't want to be accidentally found by some stupid patrols and then have to run around trying to lose them...though, that really is inevitable.

You can if you want go to your shelter and hit the "Z" key to sleep thru the night if you dont want to waste time with night or do not like it.

That works only if patrols don't come nearby, then you get woken up to alert you of the danger. Some nights go by quietly, others are constant interruption.

Umm... yeah, but just hit Z again, and again. Eventually (it once took 4 hits on Z) you get o sleep and rest and strengthen your energy level.

Well, I cut logs and explore and build and cut logs and get food during the daylight and cut some logs fish and cut some more logs.... For excitement wait until you spot a group of mutants or chimpozoids and try to stalk them at any time of day or night. You will probably get killed at times, but I use that experience as an excuse for exploring whatever cave I wake up in. I would not, not, not go into a cave otherwise whether day or night.

Build your base off the beaten path where patrols wont come across it so you can choose to go hunt or just sleep all night.

I build two or more bonfires around my base to see whats coming, im playing hard, and there is no enemies, so its just my way of attracting them (hopefully) But in normal survival, i would build bonfires anyways, just to make the nights a bit more exciting.

sleep when the darkness annoys or just do normal stuff and be more careful because you can't spot the cannibals as easy as during daytime.

Just do what you do during the day. If anything comes to attack you, lure them to your base/light.

Stroll into the forest like a man with a flaming axe while drinking booze thinking about my lost son and daring anyone or anything to attack me.
