It is impossible for a game developer to please 100% of the people 100% of the time. Use creative mode to fix your problem

Then come here to the forum and explain what your problem is and what you did to fix it.

 

If you play with no traders, you need a water filter. So give yourself some and perhaps a pot.

 

If you play with no traders and no cities, you're still going to be able to loot magazines but your progression is going to be slow. if it's too slow come up with some sort of scheme that allows you to advance fast enough but doesn't break the fun.

 

If it is too dark that you can't see to play the game you want to. Give yourself a helmet light or night goggles.

 

But come back here and explain what the problem is. The game doesn't get better if people quit playing it, it gets better when people play it and then report back on what the problems are.
