Higher Standard Guide for Extreme Endurance

[Laguna Queen]

New Highlights for Extreme Endurance are now:
1. Have Houses for the 1st Storm instead of Bunkhouses
2. Complete 25 Research up until the 1st storm arrives (New Research and Law) without needing to reduce coal consumption
3. Have more than enough food (can constantly spam Foreman) and coal (keep generator on at higher level without worrying)
4. No Deaths & Amputations
5. Reaching the city's full potential faster (~Day 20)

Take a look at other game guides and see how folks are usually formatting them :)

[MrHappy]

I would agree with that. Yeah I suppose it makes more sense to have it all in one guide. All the info in one place n all that.

[MrHappy]

I am not that far into the game. I can't help very much as I am still playing on easy mode :) The guide reads well but I don't understand it much yet :)

[Matty Knacker]

I don't think having specific seeds are needed in my opinion

[Matty Knacker]

I think the guide is more suited for the the missions then endless since endless is more about adapting then using a set plan and I think how it's set up it more helpful to missions then the randomness of endless also might be nice talking about different build like going hunter huts vs going hot house and how you decide what to do also will say I think -30 starts Arnt bad since you have an easier day 3-4 since it warms up instead of cools down but makes you go into gathering earlier

Also the guide isn't helpful if you are going for deathless since I believe if you do 2 24 hours you get a death (but if you only 24 hour gathering piles you won't get the death so you can 24 hour 5 piles and never get the death)

[Matty Knacker]

Also you seem to be having trouble with starving people what I like to do is get 24 hour shift, extended shift, then soup since then you get the law the same time you are making your starting raw food into rations giving a huge ration boost at the start letting me wait and get hot houses or build up my hunters

[Matty Knacker]

Also you have some false info in it aswell such as scouts dying if they are sick, you actually want to send sick or cripple people out since it frees up space for you an you can use gravely injured till later

IDK, the -30 starts are way more fun. I tend to restart if I don't get them.

Scouts can die when they're leaving the map as it takes them FOREVER to actually exit, same when they return after you disband them. Once they're off the map they're 100% safe though. Sending a gravely injured person to scout is almost guaranteed to die if you ever disband the scout unit.

[apparition.757]

Yeah didn't mean to disparage your guide, it seems good for newer players; I also didn't realize I had until 22:00 to accept the housing quest.

For the scouting deaths you can easily see what I mean when you specifically send off sick folks, you can click on the red medical sign to monitor them and see how long it takes them to exit the map. Often they're half way to their destination before they're actually "on an expedition."

[apparition.757]

In endless you don't have to disband them every storm. Just leave them at your base. Though they disappear during the storm, they're ready to go after it passes.

Also at extreme difficulties, I believe it's fairly standard to send your day 1 injured off to scout in scenarios. As scouting is way slower in Endless, I usually don't rush it so healthcare isn't a problem when I get around to it. I'd never send off sick to scout in a big map like Flats.

[Matty Knacker]

Not sure if it's mentioned in the guide but overboosting the gen between 24-5 for when people are sleeping can help prevent 1 or 2 sick (really useful for first days) and will be fully refreshed by end of the day.

Will you be doing a builder's one ?

Wait really dam I feel doing winter home on surviour has to be the hardest the game has got

[Matty Knacker]

Dam makes me realize Im slacking in my play through. Do you use all your inner rings for housing ?
