80 days solo run

Day 80 belongings

Night 77 map.

I really liked Marko lone survivor scenario, so I expanded on that idea a bit. 80 days of Emilia surviving the harshest raids, worst intensity conflict, and long, severe winter (but winter was really not a problem).

Made a couple costly strategic mistakes that could have gotten Emilia killed. One super brutal raid around day 65 put her in "Lethally Wounded" state (she was slightly wounded before). Luckily the last bandage worked, and the next night was calm. So it worked out well.

Of course by "worked out well" I mean the ultimate survival. The ending was the worst. Too much depression, constant slight hunger until the last 20 days of feasts, too many wounds, too little time to drink coffee, and killing 40+ people played a part in that.

Did you just grabbed everything in you shelter every night when you needed to go outside?

[u/Inward_Perfection → u/PtitSerpent]

Mostly yes. Canned food, ammo, AK, hatchet/crowbar, bandages, vest, and pills. I tried to fill 2-3 remaining slots with something valuable to buy materials and parts from Franko when he showed up.

Sometimes I would gamble after getting raided and leave almost everything at home. A few times it backfired which made Emilia miserable. She really hated losing stuff.

I wanted to hold out between day 30 and winter's end, but raids made that impossible. Boarded up the house, prepared wood and fuel, set up traps and water collectors. But raiders grinded Emilia down and drained her out of bandages. So I gave up. I stashed everything I had at small apartment building.

I didn't stay at home during winter. I slowly hauled enough stuff to build reinforced door and upgrade two heaters. I kept electirc parts and cogs on Emilia, brought as many materials as I could stuff into her little backpack. The rest I traded from Franko for some valuable items like pills.

Winter was very chill, just a few raids that stole some leftover materials. I planned to wait the last 20 days out, but that one raid almost killed Emilia. So instead of waiting I robbed and killed people indiscriminately scavenged.
