[Your top priority for day 1, crowded server.]

TY Boidster for the detailed tips, much appreciated. I should have added, it is a PvE server, lots of friendly people but at the same time very competitive. Some will group up straight away while others solo. I prefer to solo initially, meet up with someone along the way and if we hit it off, group up.  I forgot I only needed 1pt to make a bicycle so to beat the rush, Roland, ty, thats a great idea. 

Since its a PvE server, Im safe near a trader initially but eventually want a base that is scenic, as I love the building aspects too.

[Czech language translation - voluntarily]

I speak multiple languages and Czech is one of them. Do you mean voice over translation for ingame or just the text translations? If voice overs are needed, I can help do Jen the trader voice translations for you. I dont think there are any other female NPC's ingame other than Jen?

[Your top priority for day 1, crowded server.]

What is the first thing you would do on day 1 of a fresh server wipe. Server is quite crowded (Usually 40+ people). Besides the intro quest, would you:

• concentrate on combat skills for questing or self sustainability such as living off the land/masterchef for food.
• Focus on weapons crafting or tools crafting? 
• Go mobile/baseless or set up base as close to a trader as server allows.
• Put 1 point into Lucky Looter or not worth it at start

 

Thanking ahead for any useful input.

 

*edit* Forgot to add, server uses mods. One of them being Zombie boss's on day 1 roaming the land, so it can get quite hairy at times as a low level if that helps sway the combat vs crafting debate.

[ok ill start it - instant travel. good or bad.]

I agree with most peoples assessment, no instant travel. Unfortunately most multiplayer servers have this option and if you dont use it, you fall behind as everyone else will. I always look forward to crafting/getting my 4x4, going off exploring for days and loading it up with loot before taking the long drive back to base.

[Virtually No End Game]

I usually play on multiplayer, the community is what keeps the games longevity for me. As others have stated, once you become self sufficient flying around in your gyro the game becomes quite easy. I do however absolutely agree with bandits being the end game/ constant pain challenge. Similar to "The walking dead" series, once the survivors were killing zombies easily, the show introduced Negan as the next challenge and zombies became a background distraction. Bring on the bandits!!
