How’s the pve content in this game?
I only play survival games to kill hordes of zombies, and I don’t care about pvp. so my question is to other pve players, do you guys enjoy this game or not?

It's a great game, and caters well for all types of players. You can do solo PVE, but I would recommend finding a nice PVE server with other players to interact with. Some server admins host nice events, etc, where you could be part of a nice community.

Hello :),

It's very entertaining from a PvE point of view. For me personally in single player, the game has been giving me a very unique experience for a very long time, even now shcon and I really enjoy the moments on the island and the challenge of the "open game world" where you can really take that 100% literally. 100% because you can't do linearly what you like. Test, try, get to know new things, shake off old ones or just get on with the day.

If you play it with familiar players, the fun factor is significantly higher. Making mischief or going on an extended adventure with different people and different reactions can be a lot of fun. Small bets are always a big fun factor for us and this often leads to crazy ideas. All in all, there are no limits to creativity and many beautiful possibilities to make everyday survival something special.

If we look into the horizon at things that may still come, the whole thing will once again become an exciting adventure and many beautiful and funny speculations.

Thanks for the reply guys! Actually I watched some gameplay videos on YouTube and I feel the game world is really empty and there’s very little sense of danger from the zombies. Maybe it’s just me, I’ll probably keep an eye out for any future PVE content update.

Yes, the key is changing settings to increase the amount of puppets and their damage, at least once you get used to the game and need more challenge.

Next patch I think we are getting types of mutant enemies in the bunkers, and at some point we'll be getting hostile NPCs as well, and after that there are some feral mutant types too. So there will be additional challenges.

Try boosting puppet damage then they become a major threat, went from 68hp to 27hp from 1 hit from a skinny puppet.

It really can be kool in PVE, more so with the add of the 'trader' zones. Now there is a reason to play out there that can fit more of a SP play as you stuck in this.. and you can hunt for things to sell them to get things... etc etc.
I play SP / PVE with puppets turned up and damage up and usually a permadeath mode.
But that is up to you.

It's great if you find a nice community with standup regulars. However I must say after 800 hours I've been banned from two PVE servers for some pretty ridiculous stuff and lost many friends in the process. I might not be perfect but I ain't all that bad either... there's some kind of tight knit group of people that are extremely judgmental and just straight up heartless. I hope you never run into that kind of scene.

We are currently actively working on adding more PvE threats into the game. First ones you will get to experience as Deathwhisper linked are Mr. Brenner and Razor, coming soon in a patch near you! We won't stop there of course. In the meantime there are many PvE oriented servers with different settings for specific experiences so finding something that is right up your alley shouldn't be too difficult.

Can you play this coop with a friend? Or do you still need to rent a server?

HELLO MY POTENTIAL FELLOW SCUMMER

I've been playing single player PVE only since 0.2/0.3 (definitely before 0.5 anyway)
and i'm still enjoying it, I love how we can adjust the threat,loot,and other settings if i start to get a bit bored I just up the difficulty,
There are loads of things to come, in the future there will be a story line campaign, new NPC's both hostile and friendly, different mutant enemies
different tasks to complete all sorts,
One thing you must bear in mind THE GAME IS STILL IN EARLY ACCESS, IT IS NOT FINISHED, So there are some bugs but the Developers are really great (as you might be able to tell when looking through the posts} and the game is patched and updated frequently, on that note don't get too attached to things, as the game updates
sometimes there are wipes where you lose everything, but that is part of the early access process,
YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND AS EARLY ACCESS PLAYERS WE ARE ACTUALLY TESTING THE GAME AS WE GO ALONG , So jump in have fun, it's a steep learning curve with no tutorial (yet, there is a place holder) i would suggest watch some of MR FEUDAL'S Youtube's single player series, or for tip's have a look at Raykit's channel (hes got some really informative tip videos ) If you have any questions just ask them here most of here us are happy to help.

Yeah I enjoy the PVE aspect of it. Once they add different enemy types it will be pretty top notch I believe.

__________
Need to rent or log onto a server to play with friends.

There are plenty of servers out there to play on both official and private.
Some are pvp some are pve and some have a mix.

Would it be perfect if there were an AI hunter or quest system, maybe in the future?
