Don't stay in one place for too long. Worked for me so far.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Don't make a lot of noise.

Also, an idea Deon, you could just add a letter to indicate weapon type?
R for Rifle
A for Assault Rifle
H for Handgun
Etc

Tips for surviving

[Jacob/Lee]

Yes, yes they are...

Do those robots even DO anything or are they just target practice?

[Whales]

Personally, I never use a safehouse.  Sometimes I have a stash spot where I keep crafting supplies, and sometimes I'll trap a house to sleep in, if traps are convenient, but that's it.  Safety while sleeping is more about finding a room that's far away from any doors (the rooms at the back of pharmacies and grocery stores are superb).

Up to five minutes after your picture is taken, a copbot will appear on the scene.  It's possible to avoid the copbot if you flee quickly after your picture is taken.

If your going for length, board up a house with a basement and grab as much canned food and water as you can, then hide in your basement until you run out of supplies. Yeah, the most efficient way is boring.

Gonna have to wait until the construction update before you can get any other viable form of surviving.



I don't agree with the whole "keep moving around" idea. Your pretty much forced to get the high speed skills and it's dependent on luck if you get screwed or not.

Another question:
One of my starting spot is in the middle of a forest with a lab across the map. How can i survive there if i spawn there again?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Pretty easily. You can hunt animals for food and pelts

Just FYI, I've figured out the desired way to generate a map for my Fallout mod (which I will update some time later).



It needs some tweaking, but it generates a huge wasteland with rare forests, VERY rare water and small settlements with houses set apart.

Yeah, tweaking definately required, seeing how the roads aren't connected together and the houses usually face the wrong direction.

[Deon]

I actually want more disconnected roads and to make the edges more jagged. Roads should be destroyed after all.

By the way, the latest version (modded, but I didn't touch NPCs) really has NPCs!



It's me in a casino in one of survivor settlements, and there are people all over the place.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I think NPCs always spawn when you first play.
They all vanish when you save and quit.

But wouldn't it work better if the roads were more patchy and destroyed on the microlevel (outside of map)? Besides, it would be wierd to have whole sections of roads missing.

But hey, your mod. I can't tell you what to do.

[Deon]

You can tell me what to do if you can tell me HOW .

The map generator is still very confusing to me.

The only thing I've made it to produce right are badlands covered with junk for my close-to-vanilla mod.
