      When harvesting the street lamps, instead of using 5 or so square blocks to nerd pole up, you can use 2 ladder blocks. Just skip a space when placing them and you'll still be able to harvest them. It's a small time saver but if you gotta go on a steel hunt, it helps lol

    If you want a quick and easy POI to loot a cooking pot from, always target the food trucks. The food trucks will always have a cooking pot and two ovens that can drop a cooking grill. You have to be in a city to find them, but they are the most reliable place to get the cooking tools. To boot, the only zombies to deal with will be roamers. The POI doesn't have any zombies of its own, so if you are low on health it's better than clearing a whole house in the hopes of a cooking pot.

    For anyone who wanted to know how to deal with food and water in the throughout the game then heres what you should do.
    Your worst case scenario is drinking water from a river or pond this is done by standing still and looking directly down to drink the murky water directly.
    Each sip will give you 10 water and a chance of a nasty debuff called Dysentery. This saps away at your hunger and hydration.
    If your desprate and but have some money then all traders will have vending machines around where you can buy any drink for hydration. Traders sometimes sell water too.
    After your first 2 quests you should be good with the murky water you find and the water you buy. After finding a cooking pot in a kitchen such as the oven or on the counter tops or buying it, you can turn your murky water bottles into fresh water.
    Toilets have a 50% chance for Murky water and a 5% chance for a hunting knife or pistol
    Theirs an unknown chance to get food and murky water from the master chef dumpster diving skill.
    Coffee Maker has a 50% chance for Murky Water and a 5% chance for Coffee. Otherwise a 75% chance for 1-3 Coffee Beans.
    From my testing when your rolling loot groups I beleive the game rolls the rarest chance first and works its way to guarenteed. Meaning for the toilet if you miss the 5% chance then it will roll for the 50% chance otherwise you get nothing.
    Soda Fountains have a 100% chance for murky water.
    Liqour Piles have a 75% chance for murky water.
    Backpacks have a 20% chance for murky water.
    Water Coolers has a 100% chance for murky water.
    All your water problems will be solved later on when you get 3-4 dew collectors or using the water filter helmet mod. Dont stack more then 4 dew collectors near each other and put them a little way away from your base, this is because of how heat mechanics work spawning screamer zombies.
    Food can be found at the end of POI alonside other loot often giving small amounts of canned food. Corn meal is useless and you can buy food from the vending machine.
    I reccomend using a bow and arrow or gun to hunt deer and use a bone knife to get meat from it. Chickens are pritty good too. If your conerned about finding wildlife their is a hunter perk that reveals them when standing still. But I often find the odd deer and chickens. You should not eat the meat raw but should create charred meat at the campfire. This will reduce water but with all the ways to get water its not a big deal. Later on you can find or buy the grill and read enough cooking books to create grilled meat instead. The only difference is grilled meat has no water penalty.
    Never feel pressured to get any cooking skills or farming skills as you can always find enough food and water and buy some if you need it. Its only a matter of quests.

    1 thing that i have noticed is that you do not need your work stations in a base. as long as you do not stay near them when they are operating, no screamers and nothing bothers them. my last play through was in the last part of 2023, so i am not sure if they have changed anything on what i just said.

    • @kraevgames
      @kraevgames Před 2 měsíci +1

      The way that works is heat generates by chunk. When the heat in that specific chunk reaches 100%, there's around a 75% chance that a screamer will spawn within that chunk. When she spawns, she'll walk towards whatever was generating heat. If you're not in that chunk, she won't scream, and will eventually wander off and despawn. However, if you're in an adjacent chunk, there's a chance that she'll wander your direction. Heat also overflows into adjacent chunks, so if you're right next door cooking and stuff, your chunk's heat will rise faster, which could lead to multiple screamers spawning at a time.

    If you have spare mods, put them in any tier 6 item to sell for good amounts of dukes. Used to be more, but still is profitable. Also, regarding nr 22, I am not sure but I think traders just don't want 4 of the same items/stacks in their inventory, rather then more than 3 items in 1 trade. If you try to sell 1 item and a trader already has 3 of that item prior to your trade attempt, they will not be interested. Good video btw!

    • @damnzambies
      @damnzambies  Před 5 měsíci

      Agreed! Mods on tier 6 items are great for selling to a trader. And yes it's the 4th item the trader won't purchase. I probably didn't say that as well as I could have. But the point is there is a limit. 👌 Thanks mate. I'm glad you liked the video. 🧟‍♂️

    I frequently search for new 7dtd content creators, so I'm not sure how I've missed you. This is a great video for newcomers. Subscribed.
    A better early game tip for the LCB would be to drop it for space, as you can easily make a new one when you find a home.
    Also, wood logs do not burn longer, and are a waste of time. The amount of wood it takes to craft a log, burns for the exact same amount of time as the log. It used to work like that, like 4 or 5 alphas ago, but it's been this way for several years now. I don't understand why people keep saying to do that. Please correct.

    • @damnzambies
      @damnzambies  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thanks mate 👍 CZcams must be reaching out to a wider audience. I disagree with dropping the LCB. Why waste all the stone needed to craft another to save one inventory slot. The wood log tip only states that the logs burn longer than one piece of timber. So it's quicker to place 10 logs on a fire, instead of 100 wood individually. I know it's not a huge difference, but the tip still stands. 😉 No correction required. 🧟‍♂️

    • @kraevgames
      @kraevgames Před 2 měsíci

      @@damnzambies It's not much stone to craft another LCB, and you should have plenty by the time you're ready to settle down.

    • @damnzambies
      @damnzambies  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Sure! They are simply difficulty indicators for the area you just entered. The more skulls, the more difficult the zombies will be. It also indicates the quality of the loot found in that area. The more difficult an area is, the higher the quality of loot will be. Each biome has a different difficulty multiplier. A building in the forest biome may have one orange skull, but go to the same building in the wasteland and it might go up to three red skulls. The colour of the skulls are another level of scaling. Three red skulls are more difficult than three orange skulls. Hope that makes sense 🧟‍♂️

    • @damnzambies
      @damnzambies  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Honestly, just find somewhere close to a trader and make yourself a base of operations. Then start doing quests and prepare your base for the day 7 horde. You will probably fail and die many times, but that's part of it. Once you have the basic game mechanics down you can venture out to other biomes on other maps. But stick around the forest for your first few playthroughs. Otherwise you will get frustrated while learning the game mechanics. When I started I found myself getting frustrated, but like any game you just need to pick up the basics. You might even find yourself addicted to the grind 👍 also avoid mods for now until you have the base game sorted. Mods are fun but will just confuse you at the start. Happy to help if you get stuck. 🧟‍♂️

    The wood and log tip is wrong, if you use the same amount of wood in a log it gives you the same time as a log

      There is a very big misunderstanding with this tip. It has nothing to do with the amount of resources. Simply put, one log will burn longer than one piece of wood. So if you have spare logs, it's more efficient to use them in the campfire or Chem station then throwing in the same amount of wood. 👍 It's not much of a tip I agree. But it's a tip.☺️

    Tip 86. Spawn yourself a bicycle because f*** walking.

    6:07 while you can do this, in my opinion its boring.
    If you really wanted to, you could do the entire POI, loot it and kill every zombie (but dont finish quest or take white river supplies), break every valuable block and restart the game; the quest resets and you can infinitely repeat this. Hence why its boring.

      Agreed 👍 I'm not a fan personally, but it's still a tip some may want to try out to boost that loot grind. 🧟‍♂️

    For people who have zombie spawns disabled: destroying a police car will still spawn in zombies and zombies that spawned before you changed the settings are also still there so be aware
