How do you survive the scenario with just Marko?

[szbnahl]

Title says it all, really. If I leave the shelter I come back to find all my stuff's been stolen; if I stay in the shelter I'm worn down by injuries as soon as I hit the outbreak of crime. I've tried prioritising defence, but even with all board-ups and a hatchet he can't avoid getting constantly wounded and there's no way I can get guns or armour with the level of resource depletion caused by constant thefts.

How? Easy.

Don't understand? What is your point?

Just answering the thread starters question :- ) Now read u've had problem with Marko doing suicide. Remains to be seen if I can keep Marko happy enough.. now at least fetch him books to read from the closet. Little over 10 days behind now. Started with 80 days, early winter and everything hardest/harshest/longest and so. Marko probably easiest to pull this off alone, since he's such an experienced scavenger with such a big rucksack. With one girl who gets depressed easy might be challenging.. Katja?

33 days and Marko hung himself. He did a stupid mistake to break open a closet in the hospital in search of medicine to donate.. Got shot lethally, got broken and that was that. He did pull himself up from one broken state of mind earlier.
Got to try again later.

Right question would be: "how NOT to survive with Marko solo?"

Basically situation is like this: You dont need to heat the shelter, as You only may get sick during night,

Yep, but that is cheating in a way 'cos that makes no sense. To be more realistic u gotta keep the house warm during the day too.

Marko did well and had no problems with other people, didn't rob or mistreat other people. Had every thing he needed his life was great. It was only because the program would say he had been robbed every monring he began to get depressed and then after some time he hung himself no matter what I tried to change his attitude.

But, never did I leave anything in the house for anyone to steal so, his death was because of the programing not because of game play.

It is like I have posted before there seems to be this weakling, failure, give up, hopeless, negative attitude in this games programing and Frostpunk as well. There is no character who is strong and hopeful. No one who rationally looks at the situation or options and says...no matter what happens to us or others we can be strong and make it work.

It is like I said in the post before about Frostpunk...little bad news and they destroy what good life they had.

tortugarp, I seriously doubt that Marko killed himself solely because he got robbed a few times. Did you recently rob/kill someone or have been having trouble keeping him feed, rested, and healthy?

The devs were pretty clear that this game was designed to highlight how awful war is for the innocent civilians get caught up in it, not to make a Rambo goes on a rampage game. Almost all of the characters are just average people with little to no training.

Frostpunk, like this game really isn't that hard if you are patient and keep working to find the right strategies. I got booted from office my first playthough and sent off to die alone in the cold, but that only happened once. I learned from my mistakes and tried different approaches until I found some that worked.

Please read what I said above--did nothing negative or hurt people---just as I said he had everything, lost nothing. Don't remember how many day he live 25-30 maybe then to my surprise one morning he killed himself!

And as far as average people.....their hopeless, ready to quit at the first sign of a problem attitude isn't like the people I know.
I have been in war and have seen people struggle to survive because they had hope and didn't give up or just sit and cry about their situation, for the most part they picked themselves up and fought on doing whatever it took to survive. Nothing like the whiners in these two games.

Maybe where you come from that is the social behavior, I don't know, not judging, it is just very strange for me for so many people, as in the games to act like that.....hopeless!

Created to show the horror of war that I understant but, for me it doesn't speak well of the character of the people who were victims. And I am sure everyone was NOT like the people in the game.
