Hey thanks for the welcome! Yeah the 10K map was getting a bit tedious I found, just a lot more of the same everywhere. I lowered it down a little this time when I started again. I made the mistake of turning the XP up to 300%, and when I got to the 1st red moon, really wished I had not lol. Leveling up fast was fine, not having the weapons I put points into was not though. I tried running without zombies once, when I was trying a new build idea for a base and wanted to be able to focus on it. But after I finished the base I deleted the save; I found no zombies was really boring. Though admittedly, starting over after I die is getting harder to do (I mean, deleting my game saves and starting over again). I couldn't find a way to set the game up to do that on its own so I have been doing it. "Perma-death mode" I guess is what I am trying to play the game as. Makes me work really hard to not die lol.
I just think it would be really cool if they had a main area we could go to, an actual city community where we could get quests for everywhere on the map, more schematics for vehicles and such, different gear options, etc. Maybe even be able to go pound on the Duke at some point (for putting you out there in the first place!!!) 😆
