[quote=“JonnyBlack, post:4867, topic:42”]I’ve finally managed to kind of get acquainted with the game. Except for a run in with a Jabberwocky while walking down a road and a couple of infected bites where I couldn’t find disinfectant in time, I’ve been doing well. Raiding towns at night and retreating to where my stuff is seems to be a viable strategy. One thing keeps bothering me though, I keep being too cold to sleep. I would think that being wrapped up in a trench coat, a winter jacket, a sweater, and wearing a blanket I’d be able to pull it off, but it’s just not working out. I get a little bit of sleep, then wake up freezing. It hasn’t really affected me too badly, I can usually get enough sleep to keep off the tired effect, but not always.
Also… I recently spawned in a shelter and the bottom of it, instead of having three or four items like I usually find, was just stuffed with crap. I had to go back up the stairs twice just carrying water, food, tools, and books. I boarded up the windows, and am working on finding a large amount of nails so I can board up the doors on three sides. I keep reading that I shouldn’t be staying near a swamp and I’m right next to one, but I’m also next to a river and there’s a big town within a short distance, all of which makes this seem like a pretty good spot. I wandered into the swamp just a bit, and all I’ve found out there are bullfrogs and stuff, nothing weird although I didn’t go far as I DESPISE sink holes and have fallen into a couple on other characters. Also, those swamps held giant mosquito, giant dragonflies, and some other stuff I didn’t want to fight with. What’s the reason for avoiding swamps?[/quote]Try taking the blanket off and dropping it on your bed and then sleeping.
Swamps used to spawn hordes, and I do mean HORDES of big bad nasties, so many that even late game characters couldn’t handle them.
Gratefully they spawn a more reasonable amount of critters now.
