DeadPoly Survival Tips

I have noticed no one made a guide for this game even tho game itself is pretty simple. So I decide to make one. Also would you guys give it a like as well or comment the things I should improve. I'd be grateful for it ^^

Rule 1 - Day Cycle

Before starting about tips to survival let's look at the Day-Night Cycle Developer shared before;


So in game 24 hour = 1 hour. It's all works like this some of the other players split the an hour like this

10 minutes sunrise
30 minutes of day time
10 minutes dust time
5 minutes pitch darkness
5 minutes night time


So far it checks out right in game. So until developer decides to change it. This will be our clock.

Rule 2 - Looting

What I like about this game is it's looting style. I mean like in other games such as Escape From Tarkov you can store 2-3 more backpacks or crates in your bigger backpack. As long as you maintain the weight of it.

Rule 3 - Finding a Safe House

If you are playing in singleplayer it's up to you to where you wanna build as long as you reinforce with doors and window barricades.

But in multiplayer things gets changed.


So As much as I know we can't build our own homes like Minecraft or Unturned. So we will have to occupy city buildings, trailers, shop etc. My suggestion would be occupying an apartment cause it will be hard to raid for other people imagine having to destroy door after door, barricade after barricade.

Rule 4 - Hotbars-Quick keys-

There are like 4-7 hotbars in game
1-for your primary ,
2-for secondary items
3-I usually prefer for medical supplies
4-is either for food or water or energy

Tip 1 - Refreshing

Most of the items in game despawns after day cycle so make sure you don't leave your items in ground.

While I'd love to assist you, the developer's unnecessary changes to the game have made it difficult for me to provide accurate information. I haven't played since the updates and am not familiar with the new mechanics. However, I can recommend checking the official game forums or subreddit, as there might be other players who have encountered similar issues and found solutions.

How can I pick up items from floor. I miss click and my backpack is on floor now and I can't pick up ... I'm stuck at this point for fast 4h ...

@NoobyBaconBoi you can craft them in the anvil or find them in boxes around the map

[bennett]

can you tell me how to get nails?

@CPTMikeyy Alright mate Developer (?) of the game aka Kamron suggested this

"I’d have them make sure they have access to the folder the game is trying to save to (c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\DeadPoly\Saved)

Also ensure they’re waiting for the save to finish. It does take a bit, especially on less powerful machines."
Hope this can help your problem

I haven't encountered a problem like that or seen anyone having it in the discussion tab but I sent a mail about your problem mate.

my only issue is that i cant save my game, no matter what i do. ive deleted it and re downloaded it 3 times.. I've tried a server and single player, and it still wont let me save..

cool thanks!

Flagpole or base claim flag will help your current zone to despawn and reload most of the loot. Also with base claim flag you can build and craft more thing (few so far) without having it. Other than that I don't see any reason to use it.

[Zalas]

in Singleplayer it seems items I drop as well as items I "set down" neither despawn and all items, such as furniture, that is placed and used as storage doesn't respawn or reload loot. Is this true or am I missing something. Simpler question: is there any real reason to use a base claim flag in singleplayer?
