VAC

[Diogenes]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if How to Survive 2 was protected by VAC?

What is the fastest way, without using trainers, to get a good amount of resources in single player mode, is it to just keep repeating quests?

I am thinking of using a trainer, because I do not seem to be able to obtain enough resources to get my base up to level 30, and I am finding it a little repetative to keep doing the same missions over, and over, again just for a single wooden board.

Try using a saw to cut wooden boards with. 1 large wood = 3 wooden boards

I never even thought to try that...

I'll take a look now, while I am at camp.

For all this time, I have been using all of the large wood that I have found, to make arrows with for my bow, since I thought that was the only recipe that used Large Wood.

Thanks :).

Is there an easier way to obtain Sheet Metal?

I'm afraid doing missions is the only legit way to get resources. It's easier to get some in multiplayer, since every group member get the reward. I'm not sure whether additional local players get rewards as well. You can try to turn on 2nd player using controller and check yourself.

By "a single wooden board" do you you really mean one board? Rabid coyote mission from Clifton (old man NW from the default spawn point) is short and gives 10 or so boards as well as nails. For 15 minutes you should have enough resources unless you really want to spam traps.

Also these might help:

Nope.

The local (offline, Singleplayer) base file can be edited if you want to spawn in resources after you have a trunk. I do this whenever new bits come out to get the new recipes and try to keep all my WIP guides in order; something I need to work on again as they're all months behind.

I've run that mission a few times. Sometimes, it does not feel like I get many boards at all. If I remember right, that quest seems to be the best source for a number of materials, including Sheet Metal.

The one mission I kept trying to run for Wooden Boards was "Mystery Guest", which didn't give many, if any sometimes.

I assume that you would require a hex editor for that, and, presumably, you would also have to know the exact details of which variables your looking for?

I would prefer to use a method like that, to be honest, rather than trainers etc...

You always receive the same reward and you don't need to collect anything. I've just checked it: 15 boards, 10 boxes of nails, 3 ropes, 5 sheet metal and a hammer. Just bring a rifle/revolver for attracting dogs and you'll finish it under 2min

Actually, the base files are in plaintext. Character edits require a hex editor and discovery. Neither of these solutions work in MP servers, just to be clear.

1. Gather some materials
   
2. Open the Local base file: \Steam\SteamApps\common\How to Survive 2\Data\Save\SaveBase_Local.sav
   
3. Check the materials against what you see in your trunk
   
4. Exit to Main Menu
   
5. Add to the c="#" to increase a specific item
   
6. Re-enter Single player base
   
7. Check trunk to verify inventory increase

and how exactly do we open the ynm file type to do so? opening it with word shows it all encrypted.

Yes there is VAC

Some recipes are within the camp menu, while others are within a particular building. You will get hundreds of logs and boards when running around the camp map as well as in missions, and you can create your own boards using wood and a saw. There's really no reason to farm boards directly, but I do gather them when I find them.
