I'm getting fed up..

[captain lost]

Game is impossible, I've done 6 play throughs now, IF i'm lucky to get to day 10 (what a blessing) I have no food, or can't find the resources that I need or someone gets sick, can't find meds, bartering is insanely stupid and not rewarding to the player in any way...making a knife takes 3 handgun parts, can't even fricken find them stupid things...

Then they all get broken, depressed, starve, can't defeat raiders, can't upgrade barricade because i don't have wood, can't look for wood because I need food, can't make moonshine thingy because i can't find gears, if i do find gears i need them to upgrade a bench or make a mouse food trap thing, always something going against me...

God forbid if the player gets in a combat situation, or dosen't help some one get food, suvival of the fittest is the key, however this game does not make you the fittest, at all.

Anyone else have the same experience or am I just sucking?

Just you. First time I play I got to I think 15 days just fine, but I quit and retry because I got one of the surivvors dead by fighting bandits with fists. This game is actually pretty easy, you are just doing it wrong.

[Help]

Yeah it took me around 6 tries before I got the hang of the game.

Mainly a few things are OP
-Trading moonshine or jewlery when bartering when Franko visits your safe house.
-Trading extra medical supplies to the guys at the garage, they seems to restock a lot of food, wood, water, and components
-One hit kills with stealth attacks with approriate characters. That means you can kill someone which alerts the next guard, hide in a crevice, one hit kill the next poor sob that runs by you.

After I've figured out moonshine is a great way of trading, I always rush for it when I can. That is after setting up the basic survival needs to cut down on resource consumption.

Other things to note:
-Don't ever trade cigarettes with the military base, it isn't worth it. Better off stealing from the locker at the front door.
-The guys are the garage values medical supplies more than Franko and the doctor at the hospital.
-Try to save people when they ask for it, they usually give you valuable items back in return.
Saving the baby at from the sniper gives you 3 jewlery, giving food to the starving guy gets you 2 jewlery and 1 pure alcohol, and sort of random gifts from people who knocks on your door.

Oh and this should be obvious,
-Avoid direct combat unless if you are completely armed with bodyarmor, helmet, and several guns with a lot of ammo to spare.

...
If all else fails, you can just play cheap by re-rolling the start of a next day.
Such as if a day begins and something horrible happens, you can exit and reload.
This also works if you just close the game during the salvage phase.

What I've gotten from this game is this: it's intentionally hard, random, and unfair. You can either enjoy that and try to improve little by little, or you can look up a guide and mix-max the ♥♥♥♥ out of the game and just 'win'.

If you're like me and don't want to just basically exploit the game by abusing game mechanics and 'playing to win', you're just going to lose sometimes. I guess that's the fun.

This game isn't hard at all. Seriously. I'm betting you are one of the kiddies from the COD and Halo generation.

Those 2 sure look like onr.
But it's understandable, there are no red, flashing pointers like "High chance of trader visit next day, gather expensive stuff during scavenging", of course they get confused, 'cause "this is a game, i must win with no effort involved!"
And I agree, this game only seems hard.

[Oldman Deuce]

Just sucking.

If you really want to game the game, you need to understand the build order and resource scavening and trading. One of my subsequent playthroughs has been a breeze so far.

I'll do another playthrough where I am more reckless too.

Please, help planet in only way you can: stop wasting precious oxygen on your breathing. It will be better this way, trust me.
BTW: it's f***ing amazing to be a teenie, parents pay most of your bills, your have no mortgage, no kids, you are full of energy and all night party with sex and alcohol doesn't make you broken with exhaustion next day. Ah, good time all-round. Wish I was one.

LzDK plz, don't be so rude! Y u so mad?

BTW: Only a teenie wishes he was a teenie. Only a teenie would compare those ♥♥♥♥♥ with a good everyday life, too. And only a teenie thinks the only way to live without worries is being a teenie - there's rich people and such (actually no need to be filthy rich to live like Gods). And even better, descendants of rich people.

But we got it, calm down Jimmy, you're a pro. You've beaten the last level of Cundy Crush, you're a pro gamer now, yeah yeah...

If I could go back to being an eight year old, I would. I never knew it then, but I would give anything to go back in time.

Killed the bandits in the warehouse with only a knife. Not that hard, you need to be cautious.

Bha-ha-ha-ha!
How old are you? Judging by your posts - from 12 to 15.
Well, alevin, hit at least 20, then we'll talk.
Right now - it's not worth me time.
And you better concentrate on those acne, not games;-)

Major source of mistakes in the game come from the fact that people have no precise objectives when playing and play according to those mid term objectives. Here are a few tips.
If you don't want to kill or steal, you are going to need a lot of materials and enough to make good trading items (aka booze for the first 10 days then bandages).
You don't have to make your people eat every day, every other day should suffice as long as they are only hungry (not very hungry or starving).
Weapons are overrated, you generally never need them for scavenging unless you need to kill people for a quest. The crowbar is game changing.
Never ever lose Katia, she has 12 intentory slots, runs fast, barters well, best character by far as far as I know. Bruno is a somewhat important character too, you save up to a hundred fuel every game thanks to him.

If soldeir is at the supermarket, take his free AR and blitz all of the thug locations.
