What exactly changes as the days count up?

[LightBringer]

I've been wanting to go on purely salvaging runs on the game just to get more junk before moving on constantly with the story. But part of me fears that progressing the days too far may mess something up. Either difficulty wise or if there is a set amount of days to finish the game in, like in dead rising games. Can someone explain to me exactly how days works? And what changes as they progress?

less resources, more zombies in each location, it tells you each morning...

I did the same as you at first, dont bother with that just do the missions and get loot your require as you do each mission in each new location. it seems the most logical to manage with what weapons you can find as you go and get the heath and food crafting unlocked before the other stuff like weapons.

i wish we could track the unlocks and well as the recipes...

I know it says that. But its a really generic text that doesnt reflect a ton of actual change atleast in the early days. Im maybe on day 5 mind you. I was just curious if there was really anything it did. Thank you though!

the resources seems a little hard to track because they appear random anyway, there are some that always respawn for example - shallows, pool table no matter what day you go there you will get 2xbandage, and a knife everytime...

so its hard to say exactly whats happening with resources, but im double figure in terms of days this game and im finding meds real hard to get now, early doors i had a stockpile but im down to two bottles.... so maybe essential or more important resources dwindle... ?

also some maps are better for food items, again shallows is always a decent protien and sugar location...


but you will certainly notice if you repeated the shallows ten days, the difference in the amount of zombie spawns more than any difference in resource drops

Yes, it does change things. I'm at day 16/17 and I'm actually pretty early into the story - I upgraded all work stations first.
There are a lot more walkers than in the earlier days.
Seeing 3 or more walkers idling around in a group is far more common now.
I feel that they respawn pretty quickly now, too.

About the resources, I'm not quite sure. They still feel the same to me.
Except maybe the stuff lying on the ground is not as much as it used to be.

Its not the same though, by day 15 there is a big decrease. Im on day 21 and I cant be very picky anymore, I just take whatever I can find that is halfway decent because otherwise Ill leave without a full bag. In the early days Im able to specifically go in for certain things, like metals or wood or meds.

Also meds become very rare after day 15. I havent found a single med bottle in three days, except one herbal medicine that dropped from a human I killed in a patrol group.

there any way to undo the changes that happen as days pass, or can you just end up having to restart the game?

I've seen something in this forums where they edit what day they are already in.
I'm not sure how or if it works but you might as well try it.
Look it up using the search bar.
Could have been buried by the amount of threads created here now.

I do not think resources get more scarce as the days go on. Only the supplies in your camp dwindle with each day and ofcourse more zombies

Just because it says it does, doesn't mean anything. Loads of games will say similar things to keep the player moving forward in the story.
I'm really curious if anything changes at all. Personally, I don't believe it makes much of a difference. It's property just something to keep you progressing through the story.
