I got my first flashlight!
On Day 17 of Spring.
Yeah … this has been a brutal start. Fragile is a brutal trait to have in the early game, especially with fast zombies, and I have been Starving once, Famished twice, Dehydrated three times, had a cold, couldn’t sleep because I needed to forage through the forest until I was literally passing out, had to eat cooked creep (or rather, forgot that I could craft a pot, but I probably would have had to eventually), and spent about 10 days trying in vain to break through to the city from the North. On day 13 decided to say “screw it”, relocated to a bunker on the east of the city. (was able to take everything I had gathered in one duffel bag!), fought my way through a regional school. During that time, I had to eat 2 stacks of uncooked hot dogs, and got a -80+ morale penalty from that alone. But now I can take out waves of ten or more regular zeds at a time, with my bare hands! Dragon style is OP at high skill levels, I think. (Although … once I realized this, I went on a rampage through the school, and only stopped when I realized I was at -150 morale from ‘Guilty from Killing’.)
Once I get to this grocery store, I think my run of terrible luck will have finally run out, as I won’t be wondering each day if I will have the privilege of eating today. And then I can use all the books I have gathered to make a hotplate ^.^
