**Turn skill rust off for this challenge, since most people don’t really like it that much, and it probably have little effects on this challenge.
2) Start in a newly generated world. Delete your save folder instead of using the in game reset.
3) At 2359 of day 30, before turning day 31, you must be in your evac shelter.
The basic idea of this challenge is to push the player further, to make them explore more towns, and increase the pace of the game.
If you have any interesting ideas to add to this challenge, share !
Maybe instead of giving a point for jerky and bread, it would make more sense for having 1point for every item of food that is not rotten. Though you can cook rotten meat, or make cider out of rotten apples and it works as fresh, but this would not make a big difference in the cheating category, but add more supplies for your shelter.
Also maybe make a single unit of clean water be a respective amount of points, so yo udont nececerally have to stack canteens/waterskins.
I didn’t want to include guns / ammo because that will make people not want to use them.
I would like to include all non-rotten food. But would it be better if I include only foods that do not rot ? I am not sure if bread rots though.
I’ll edit and put points for clean water in
Making to day 30 the simple way is not hard. Clean a house, make a stone pot, get some spear and hunt in the wild and never go into town.
The reason you never get to day 30 is probably because of what I want to encourage with this chalenge; Explore !.
Also, I am thinking that 30 days is too long of a challenge :P. How about 15 days?
hmm I thought about giving points for that , but I think surviving inside the shelter just require you to have enough food/water in the shelter and that is covered by the point system.
Perhaps I should have a minimum amount of water/food requirement ?
While I can appreciate the desire to stockpile high explosives, is the evac shelter itself going to suffer from nearby explosions? Cause I’m getting a very :S feeling from stockpiling C4 in a tight, enclosed space that’s going to suffer shockwaves from bombing. And C4 is a stable explosive. This is to say nothing of if I get mininukes or dynamite.
Or is it that you’re taking shelter so you don’t wind up having to deal with radioactive fallout? Or chemical fallout. Or whatever.
It’s too bad guns and ammo aren’t worth any points, I almost never use them in my play-style so it would have given me more of a reason to horde them. I’ll have to give this a shot sometime.
