As many have mentioned in the comments below. Healing factor actually takes from your food stores, So will consume your hunger bar faster to get this healing. I will be rethinking this one down the road for sure! I still think it is crazy valuable personally!
edit:
So I did some testing on Natural Healing. It DOES NOT add additional regeneration but reduces the time between regen gained. By default without any points in to anything you regen 1 HP every ~58 Seconds. At the same time you lose 1 point of your Food (Hunger) rating every ~38 seconds. By adding 1 point in to natural healing you decrease the time between HP regen down to every 35 seconds. This in turn makes you lose 1 point of Food (Hunger) every ~28 seconds. This scales up the more points you put in to it, so more points = Faster HP Regen but also faster Food (Hunger) loss. I will still be using Healing Factor as a skill, but do take caution. With 1 point invested you gain essentially a ~35% buff to your natural HP regeneration but take a ~35% penalty to your hunger drain or food loss. Pretty fair trade imo, but of course if you are having troubles with food this will only expand on that issue.
It's among the most useless skills in game. Food already has healing properties so that extra few percent will just slow you down the first week
In A21 deer were practically fallout out of trees they were so abundant. In 1.0 the animals are much more scarce. I think the first skill to buy is 'Animal Tracker' level 1 from the Perception tree. Then you won't starve.
Parkour Level 2 is the most important skill in the entire game IMO. It allows you to jump over fences to escape your enemies (or to jump over your enemies themselves).
I agree with animal tracker perk. I’ve been eating a lot of snake meat.
The biggest challenge to early progression in 7d2d is the book system. You need to read a certain number of books in order to craft the next level of tools/crafting stations/weapons. Finding the books for tools and crafting stations specifically, can be rather arduous and painstaking, especially considering how small the towns are in the forest biome and burnt forest biome. Every search counts. I recommend a few early game options to assist in finding these books specifically. IN the intellect tree, I would recommend getting 2 points in Advanced Engineering and 2 points in Grease Monkey. In the Strength tree, Miner needs 2 points as well. In the Salvage tree, Salvage Operations as well. This will increase the odds of finding the books necessary to upgrade your crafting stations and tools. Weapons are almost moot until mid to late game as quest rewards and traders typically sell higher level weapons and it's easier to get dukes than it is to rely on luck and looting. Remember, you can respec your points. Once you get a 4 X 4 built and modified, you don't need those points in Grease Monkey any longer.
afaik putting one point into lock picking early on can be huge as I am pretty sure it increases the rate at which forge ahead books are found in loot which gets you the workstations more early on
It's even better to spend 2 points on locks. It was enough to unlock all locked chests that I ran into even without lockpick crafting.
I always skip any combat skills for my first four. Mine Are: Iron Gut, Master Chef, Lockpicking and absolutely all above else: Salvage Operation.
You will always be looking for that wrench thanks to the RNG. With just four magazines and you can assemble one, and I can normally have one crafted by day one, mid-day 2 at the latest if the trader does not have any forged iron. I will normally search all cars for an engine, and that'll give me the mechanical parts I need for the tool.
Then its wrenching all night at cars and AC Units for those sweet-sweet radiators. Scrap them into brass to sell at the trader (5 radiators is 987 brass.) Headlights and stacks of oil are big bucks too. Your later-self will thank you for that stockpile of iron pipes, scrap polymers, scrap iron, mechanical parts, springs and electrical parts.
After the wrench is acquired: Its Agility combat for bladed weapons and handguns because toilet pistols and poo-knives exist.
This is mad helpful thanks a lot from a new 1.0 player
Juicebags! I loved your OMD content, I didn't know you played 7 Days to Die. One point into lock picking will boost your chance to find Forge Ahead books so you can build worksatations. I find in this update quest rewards are poor, the main use of Daring Adventurer is that the trader will stock better items, so if you're on stone tools the trader will have iron. Healing factor isn't free health, it takes from your food stat, so avoid if you've not got a regular supply of food or you could find yourself starving. Miner 69er also reduces power attack stamina, this also seems to work for your melee weapons, and it increases chances of finding Art of Mining Books. Totally agree on Parkour, being able to jump over/on to a fence or jump over a zombie will save your life if you get trapped!
I cant play without parkour. Going from falls = death to jumping off anything is a huge qol.
If you are not into crafting, Daring Adventurer and Better Barter are good choices
I’ll just go to the wasteland lvl 10 instead.
As the happily designated farmer in 7d2d, I'm so happy because I drop the first points into better stamina, lower for and water drain, healing, less stun, and increased harvesting.
I'm just having an easier time to start with plus immediate increase in our food in the first couple of days - plus it's great to go sell hundreds of dollars worth of flowers at that time.
Just call me "Most Helpful Player" those first few days 😅
the miner 69 and mother load make harvesting so much nicer
I miss sexual t-rex.
Omg this is so helpful. One of the largest changes for console folks. Also zombies dig now lol
Healing Factor isn't as good as you might think and it terrible for beginning game. This is NOT advertised and SHOULD be. But, TFP are TFP after all. When hit, the healing isn't free it's pulled from your food pool. Not good when your search for that precious cooking pot, meat and eggs isn't going as fast as you'd like. You have been warned.
It does hint at it quite a bit. says you have a fast metabolism, and says that self healing does not work if you are starving.
There's also a default amount of healing factor, around 1hp/60seconds. So the first point will almost double your natural healing rate but it isn't the different between having it and not.
I personally normally follow Trader Quest progression. So that first cooking pot is always a rough time with my RNG :P However, that is more about the Water than the Food since I am pumping out the trader quests. With 1 point in it's basically a wash, you gain a 35% buff to your natural healing rates and take a 35% penalty to your hunger Food Drain. For me personally running the quests and sadly taking more damage than I would like to admit healing is more valuable than food. So actually better early game than late game imo. Of course with 5 points in your natural healing just screams, but sadly so does your Hunger Bar / Food Meter. I normally go with just the 1 point to keep me relatively healthy so I can zerg through to tier 2 / 3 quests very quickly.
@@snottytoe6957 fast metabolism, doesnt work starving.
It is pretty simple if yu passed 5th grade biology
That's a good tip, it explains a lot, why me and my gf always were hungry in the early game.
No skill is as strong as parkour if you wanna survive
It's really a must have!
Only on high difficulty if you play it
Good breakdown. Thanks for the tips!
Me and the bros are always cross buffing each other
Strength is almost required on the start because of Pack Mule, because holy God the inventory is small and encumbrance is insane.
The thing with Pack Mule as it is one area you will 100% want to spec out of later once you start finding pocket mods.
Is there any possibility to reskill your character? Because I always find new combat perks for certain situations and I don't really know, which weapon category I should prioritize.
Yeah, there is a "Learnin' Elixir" that you can buy from the trader that resets your skill points.
@@MrJuicebagsThanks mate
is maxing out say spear books the same as maxing out the skill tree?
No, the books are for crafting. The skill points are for effectiveness.
Why do you pronounce it "uh-tribute"?
Because people from different places have different accents that make things sound differently :)
Do you know if lucky looter is still sort of "bugged" where it raises your loot stage by a percent based off your current loot stage, so that it's more effecient to take it at a higher level compared to a lower level?
Well that is not bugged at all afaik. It works exactly how it reads. So yeah, not worth taking until later since it is percentage based.
@@MrJuicebags Well I say "bugged" Because it just doesn't make a lot of sense to make a skill like that. It should just add a flat number instead.
I wouldn't complain if they changed it :)
@@MrJuicebagsIt's the best skill in game, especially early on. Get 2 points in vehicles, 2 in lockpick, some in your weapon and max out lucky looter. You can loot everything instantly, even cars. 1-2 days of adventuring and you can max out armor forge and get a motorcicle. At least legendary version of tier 2 of yiur weapon too. Can be done without it but you will spend an hour being idle waiting to loot stuff 😂
Why can't I find those challenge quests, all I see is journal tutorials.
By default on PC the keybind is "Y"
@@MrJuicebags that hot key brings up my journal tutorials tho
Are you not on the Experimental version? If not you will have to either change to that or wait for 1.0 on Thursday!
@@MrJuicebags omg ty so much didnt know this was trying to figure it out everywhere
