I go agility, first points in archery and both stealth skills, you can one shot a dog on day one. Usually go strength for the tools mainly, point in clubs straight away. I play perma death, took a few runs to get the hang of it. Sneaking is what keeps you alive, both for the extra damage and limiting engagements, also best to sneak in POI's just incase a bear is walking past, don't want one of those chasing you! I always build my own base, near the trader, 9x9, floor 6 blocks high, usually have the first 2 layers cobble on day one but most of it is still frames, if you crouch in the middle 6 blocks up a bear can walk right bye and not notice you. Bears are your worst problem, always have many stones on your tool belt to throw and distract them. Priorities are all different, looting is much slower there's no oil shale to mine, no flowers for teas, no tree stumps for honey, stuff like that. Cloth armour or leather/military if you have any muffled connector mods, need to be quiet. The stealth skills are key, the damage multiplier and noise reduction keep you alive. You're going to need as much ammo as possible for horde night, and a few fall back positions, it's insane.

Killed it before it made a noise, that's good to know, thanks. Still made me jump through!

Started a new world. Day 4 and there's a screamer in a wardrobe in a POI!!!! WTF!

Hi, thanks for the replies. My base was built by me on a patch of wasteland on the edge of a town, no POI modifiers apply. Because i was playing perma-death, (died yesterday in a tier 3 infested, full room of rads at the end on day 18), it's very slow progress at the beginning. You're basically walking around in your underwear with a pointy stick against zombie bears and dogs, crawl nearly everywhere, if a bear gets interested you're probably dead, like I said, slow progress so not leveling up very quickly. I do like a challenge but 176 gamestage on day 17 seems a bit op? Demolishers on day 14 is crazy, still have a cobblestone base! Like the man said, I don't know if I can stop them, not with these weapons...

I've been running some 100% wasteland maps, 90 min days, 200% loot/loot respawn disabled, all other settings default. My day 7 spawn lasted all night and had irradiated cops, day 14 had lots of demolishers! Day 17 and I checked my gamestage and it's 176!! Bug or feature?
