Houses aside, getting a good source of food early on is vital in survival. Initially, you'll probably just want a nice little fenced-off area for your cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs, but it's always nice to make things prettier.
Plus, it doesn't take a lot of work to build a simple wooden barn for the animals. This barn design by Folli uses mostly wood, which is probably the easiest material to get early on in the game.
There's an indoor and outside area for the animals as well, and you can tweak the size of it easily depending on how much space you need for your livestock.
One of the biggest parts of 1. However, fitting a house on top of, or among, the towering hills can be a difficult task, so this mountain house design by SheepGG will come in handy for many starting builders. The good thing about this design is that you don't need to build roofs. You can just carve out the space needed for the home and not worry about the walls or ceilings. Most of it is made with wood, so the resources are cheap and easy to get. It's also one of the safest homes to build and live in.
While the mountains account for the "cliffs" part of the Caves and Cliffs Update, "caves" involved the addition of numerous underground biomes - something entirely new to Minecraft. If you want to do as much exploring as possible of these exciting new caverns, an underground base could be the way to go.
This design by YouTuber Spudetti is simple and easy to build, but still looks great. What's more, it would be super easy to connect the base to an existing cave network you found, allowing you to take full advantage of those great new biomes.
A major issue with many starter home designs is that they're quite small and lack space. As you progress in your survival journey, you'll accumulate a lot of resources and loot. It can be very tough to accommodate all of that inside a simple starter home with extremely limited chest space. Building a separate storage building is a great idea while you gather resources for a bigger home. There's a nice, aesthetically pleasing design made by Folli that will cover most of your storage needs towards mid-game, and it mostly uses wood to build as well, making it cheap to set up.
In case you're looking for something much more ambitious but still beginner-friendly, why not try and build a home underwater? Since the aquatic update, underwater living has become a popular choice due to gorgeous coral biomes and tropical fish.
Plus, underwater living doesn't always need a ton of glass or a conduit to work. Folli's underwater home uses mostly wood, so as long as you have a good supply of both oak and spruce wood, this build is doable. It even has an enchanting room in the basement, which can be upgraded to a level 30 enchanting space. This lovely wooden house is fairly simple to build, since it will mainly require whatever wood you like and stone — both are easy to come by.
This original design by Youtube user Zaypixel is extraordinary, and it looks better than most other builds you could come across. The full video detailing the step-by-step process to follow can be found here. If you happen to spawn in a desert or a snowy tundra , it might be best to move to a forest or try a different build. Another wonderful creation by Zaypixel is this small bridge , which requires stone, wood, and a small quantity of iron if you prefer lanterns to torches.
If the player is in the sandbox mode bonus points can be given to select more positive traits. However, do realize the following: death is inevitable.
It tells you as much when you start up the game and the first few times you play, you may be likely to find yourself in an unfortunate situation from which there's no escape.
It just happens. As long as you learn from the experience you'll be in much better stead to play new games with future characters. Some sample builds follow below, but first, a brief discussion about traits and the tradeoffs of certain traits. Currently the game is unfinished and some traits require balancing, whereas others deal with features which have yet to be implemented properly yet.
Slow Reader doesn't have any "negative" effects, per se, as it doesn't actually lower any skills. It's just a timesink, as reading takes more time than normally, but it isn't an issue as long as you make sure you're safe before you start reading. Sleepyhead and Overweight are less manageable to an extent but are still worth taking. Sleepyhead applies in the same sense of Slow Reader, as you'll need more sleep, so you just need to make sure you're safe before sleeping.
While Overweight does reduce your starting Fitness skill by two points initially, it can be balanced if you make a habit of running, and Fitness could rise above normal if you survive long enough. The start of your adventure can be the toughest part of the game. If you're a completely new player you'll want to read and play through the tutorial thoroughly in order to accustom yourself to the game's basics such as moving around, opening containers, and how combat works. You'll spawn in a house or trailer when you begin in Project Zomboid.
Your first priorities upon spawning are getting a weapon , food , and a backpack. If you want to make your starting building a safehouse, make sure ground floor windows have curtains on them. If not, look in dressers and bedrooms for some spare sheets which can be made into curtains. They won't notice you as long as you stay away from the offending window and keep quiet , as in no running, shouting, or swinging a weapon. Turning off lights in your home will improve your chances of being visually hidden as well.
Lights can be toggled by clicking on a light switch in the wall if your character is standing near enough to it. Sometimes you may be seen. If they're approaching, run away and lose a horde's line of sight. This is done by going into a building, closing the door behind you, and leave through the back for example.
Then try and find a better safehouse or, if you can, catch the attention of nearby zeds and lead them away from your area before a horde's breaking line of sight, just to make things a little safer. Otherwise, you are fine to stay a night or two if you have enough ground floor curtains, as long as you're quiet and don't make too much noise.
However, keep in mind there may be a risk of zeds breaking in from helicopter noise or ambient sound events like gunshots and screaming. The helicopter noise will occur only a total of two times within the first month, normally around the end of the first week. This but can be ignored if you can find a radio with the automated emergency broadcast system radio station as this will inform you when the helicopter will be coming by saying 'Air Activity Detected'.
Gathering food eat perishables first, save non-perishables for later unless you're absolutely starving , which is unlikely in the beginning is also a priority, and so is gathering and filling containers such as Empty Mugs and Cooking Pots with water, stashing them away for when the power and water eventually goes out.
The power and water will normally shut off anywhere from one to two days from the first day if you're really unlucky or 1 month normally. This time can be changed in the sandbox settings. This list is an example of what to loot, bold is essential, while non-bold is nice unless you can't spare inventory space:. Granted, the most important item you can scavenge will be your initial weapon. Baseball bats are top-choice, though frying pans are just as fine.
Rolling pins , shovels , golf clubs , crowbars , and kitchen knives can be used as weapons in a pinch, although Kitchen Knives are generally worse than all the listed rest. Axes are ideal if you can find one, and if you're lucky enough to find a baseball bat , a hammer , and some nails , you can craft a spiked baseball bat which will serve as a worthy weapon for a long time and is repaired using wood glue , glue , adhesive tape , duct tape and nail.
Now you have a bunch of items , storage is something to consider. Typically the kitchen if there is one will have the most containers in the most condensed space , and since it also contains a refrigerator and either a cooker or microwave , this area is a strong candidate for most of your early activities.
It's also possible to carry even more weight if necessary using personal containers such as School Bags and Hiking Bags either normal or big , and these can be equipped to your back to free your hands. Plastic Bags and Garbage Bags also qualify as containers if there are no alternatives and you need to shift a lot of weight. As mentioned above, equipping a weapon in both slots makes carrying a container in your secondary slot, or "off hand", impossible.
It can be useful to organize items into categories such as perishable food refrigerator , non-perishable food , cooking utensils , tools, books, empty containers , full containers water , agriculture , medicine , weapons and ammunition, planks , misc, and junk.
Taking care of yourself is important, also ripped sheets makeshift bandages can be made by ripping clothes into sheets and are used to stop bleeding after being injured. You'll also need to eat food and to drink water to survive. If you're in a safe location and your character is thirsty , drink some water. You can drink directly from sinks and water dispensers without needing a container, but if you have a water container in your main inventory you'll automatically drink from that as required and this can be refilled as necessary.
Feed yourself every time you get hungry , especially before combat, and always eat perishable food first. Prime candidates for immediate consumption include luxury products such as Pizza , Pie , and Cake. This is because these items aren't ingredients and can't be used to create meals.
Otherwise, eat perishable food that restores the least amount of hunger first, or anything 15 hunger and below. The effects of being hungry include reduced strength , which can create problems in melee combat. Rest is also important. Try to sleep during the night so your visibility is maximized during daylight when you're moving around.
The effects of being tired include reduced awareness which can lead to you being ambushed unexpectedly by zombies which are right beside you, unseen until it's too late. Every now and then, your character will either get hot or cold. Take off hyperthermia or put on clothes hypothermia when you see this. A campfire will also do in a pinch, if you're desperate. Leaving your safehouse is never a safe thing to do. You never know when you'll get a chance to get back to your safehouse.
You should have an idea of where you're going, and how you can get back. It is easy to get lost in the vast world. Avoid forests and long wide roads like the highway. If needed, forests can be used to cut line of sight from a horde. Always take some rations of food and water when leaving as well as your primary weapon.
A backup weapon is preferred but not mandatory. If you have a bag always put your less needed items in the spare bag and essentials in the primary inventory. In moments where every second is important, having to unpack something could be your death. Try to also store at least a week's worth of food and a couple of magazines and books in your safe house, just in case you get sick and to stay indoors for a long period of time to recover.
To avoid getting lost, you may leave a trail of semi-useless items such as Forks or Spoons lying on the ground, particularly at road junctions to show you the way home. During the early days of the plague, while power is still on and the lights of humanity have yet to dim out, you can take advantage of radio and TV broadcasts.
Most channels will provide information read: propaganda and hearsay which can help lower your boredom. Listening to cooking, carpentry or outdoor living on the Life and Living TV channel will provide a useful boost in your corresponding skill levels.
By reading skill books for your level on these topics before watching such broadcasts, you can maximize the early knowledge you can get before the curtain falls on mankind's information age.
Just make sure to use electronics with earbuds or headphones , or turn down the volume and watch while in a safe place. If you have found a hammer and some nails , barricade all your windows with as many planks as possible. You can create planks by breaking interior doors or chopping down trees with an axe , wood axe or pickaxe. If you can't find those, a golf club , frying pan , or hammer can be used.
Remember that you need a saw to create planks from logs. Be careful, and be sure to scout the area for nearby zombies first before attempting any kind of construction! As they will be attracted to the noise , you may end up in a siege in an effort to improve your safehouse's defenses.
Consider installing sheet ropes on all of the upstairs windows. In an undead siege, you may end up being trapped in your house's second floor with your first floor swarming with zombies, who are trying to go up to your second floor. A plank added in front of a window will buy some time before it shatters into a million pieces.
You may also want to consider barricading extra doors so that you only have three or fewer doors: a main door, a backup door, and a backup-backup door. Once you have done that to every window in the safehouse, look at the Barricading and Carpentry section to see how you can improve your safehouse to make it the ultimate anti-zombie fortress you can have.
You can also use a sledgehammer to destroy the staircase to the second story of a safehouse, rendering it unreachable to zombies, just be sure to have a sheet rope installed on the north, east or south side window. Destroy the top portion of the stairs first or you wont be able to reach it, and if left there, the zombies can glitch to the top of the stairs if it remains intact.
Weeks, perhaps even months have passed after you started. Zombie blood and corpses litter the streets only to reflect your exceptionally effective survival methods.
Unlike most people, you managed to survive this far into the game this is quite a feat. However, this is where the game truly starts. This phase is your transition from a "survivor" to a "rebuilder": you will have to start building a self-sufficient one-person society. With the right resources, players can mix items together to create new or better equipment.
By right-clicking one of the specified items with all items of the crafting recipe present in the main inventory , players can create food recipes , enhanced weapons and barricades to reinforce their safe-houses.
One can also use the crafting menu below the character status icon to craft items, as well as easily find recipes. To see a character's skill, open the Skill tab after clicking the heart in the UI or hotkey 'C'. The "skills" screen will appear and will show you how much skill points you have, which skills you have unlocked, and how far you are from unlocking a skill if you haven't. A skill that you can put a skill point into will also be gold in color, compared to a locked skill's silver color.
Clicking it allows you to distribute one skill point. It is your choice on what skills you need to upgrade, but do so wisely.
The Lightfooted and Sneaking skills are perhaps the most valuable as it is of high importance not to be spotted by a zombie while trying to move stealthily. In Build You'll never have enough supplies to last you the long term, luckily, there are various places you can loot. If you're careful, scavenging expeditions can be only slightly risky but rewarding. Know the type of item that you are trying to find. If you are in need of construction or farming supplies, find a warehouse or hardware store.
If you need food, houses and stores will probably be the best bet. Before entering the building, plan your exit strategy.
Medical supplies can be found in abundance in a couple of major medical depots, with one in Muldraugh and two in West Point. Make sure that there are at least two entry points on different sides of the building, be it windows or doors. You want to be able to escape easily if zombies become aware of your presence.
If you see a broken window, be extra careful, as this can be caused by a zombie that's inside trying to get out, or by a zombie that's outside trying to get in!
Before breaking in, it's a good idea to take a quick look around the outside of the building just to make sure there isn't a horde waiting on the other side of it.
Also try to get a good look in though the windows, in case there are already zombies inside. Climbing though a window just to discover that you're entering a room full of zombies is never a good surprise!
Always try to break in as stealthily as possible by going through the side of the building with the least zombies around it. Before you even try to break in, check if any doors are unlocked. If it is locked, you will have to enter though the window, simply move to a window and press E, and wait until it opens.
Never smash a window if you can avoid it, as this will attract zombies. Once you have established that the room is clear, close the window again, this will prevent any zombies that may be following you from sneaking in behind you. Some buildings such as shops will not have openable windows, in this instance you will have to break a window. Don't use the right-click command to smash windows, as this may result in cuts.
Instead simply swing your melee weapon at the window as if it was a zombie. Be prepared to run and hide after doing this and keep an eye on the window to see if any zombies are attracted. When entering any building, there is a chance that a Burglar Alarm will sound. This will quickly attract large amounts of zombies to your immediate area. Run away from the area and try to take shelter elsewhere until the Burglar Alarm dies down.
Burglar Alarms will attract zombies from far and wide, so be careful not to run into a horde that's on its way to the house. Zombies will also travel 'through' houses that are in the way, by smashing doors and windows. Try running back the way you came to the house, as you already know this route is safe from zombies.
Failing that, try running towards the east, where there are less zombies lower right when factoring the map's tilt. TimeWalker Offline. See all collections created by TimeWalker and other people some may be hidden.
