i had to start over too many times. i need some tips.
my biggest problem is food. i always skip a day after seeing "hungry" status. building the upgraded stove is always a priority. but i am still running out of food faster than i can find it. should i be letting the survivors hit very hungry or starving before i feed them? after i have beds and stove should i not build anything else until i have enough materials for the rat trap and garden?
i heard after you scavenge a location anything left can be taken by looters. after hearing this i have been going back to the same location the next night to pick up what was left behind. should i be doing this until i have taken 80-90% of the materials or should i immediately hit a new location?
should i help or ignore people that come to my door? i helped somebody once but did not gain anything for my effort so i have been ignoring them and not opening the door at all except for trading.
should i allow a 4th survivor to stay at the house? i did once but ran out of food quick. i also don't need 4 people to do chores around the house. the only benefit i see is an extra person to guard at night. but with two people on guard and 2 weapons in the house i never get hurt or lose materials.
is the radio worth the materials? i know it tells you about whats going on with the war but it seems like a hassle and i never check it. i built it to help the survivors mood but i have never see them using it. will it actually bring somebody out of sad or depressed status?
