[quote=“123456789, post:3678, topic:42”]How do I move into late game? I always make it pretty long if my character survives the first 2-3 days, but afterwards I never seem to move towards easier living. I hear of people with bases and cars and food storages, meanwhile I usually just put all my stuff in the backseat of a car or a shopping cart and live in my car or in some random house at the outskirts of a town. Where do I go from here? I’m trying to get all my stats up, but it goes so slow since I spend 90% of my time hunting and gathering more water.
Also i’m moving towards the beast path in mutation. Is that a good choice or are there better ones? With as few spoilers as possible which mutation path do you guys prefer? Also will I be able to eat raw meat?[/quote]
When it comes to late game food my goal is usually to get a charcoal kiln and smoker, make a decent stockpile of charcoal, and then go fishing and make a (literal) ton of smoked fish. Water is a bit more of an issue because boiling it takes a good chunk of time, finding or making a water purifier is an early goal of mine.
Usually I go the cybernetic route, I know I’m in late game when I find a Recycler Unit or an Aero-Evaporator and successfully install one of them.
I haven’t gone much into mutations since they had the big overhaul, so I can’t help you out there.
Regarding giant stockpiles of explosives, I have to ask: What is your world’s Item spawn scaling factor set to? Finding a pile of explosives is certainly possible, but I’ve never seen such a huge amount in a single tile before.
