This is where I will put strategies that can be tested, and would work in theory. Feel free to test these, but just know that they may not work.
9mm Rushing
- Make spear and kill 1-2 armored ghouls for xp. If killed 2 then make a sulfur pickaxe after this strategy.
- Find houses and break 2 TV's.
- Break 1 safe or 2 fridges. Meanwhile, find animal fat as well (6-9 work best)
- Find a good house and make a temporary base there. Unlock 9mm, research bench, and bullets. Craft workbench and make the research bench.
- You are basically done. Just wait for it to craft, and you can have gun. Use it to peacekeep, or, of course, you know, uh savage for your tools and stuff.
Stone Lapabot Base
- Craft stone pickaxe and start to farm stone. Make as many stone doors, walls and floors as you need.
- Reset in city.
- Retrieve your stuff and then kill armored ghouls at the day.
- Break TV's and computers for small wires, metal, and electronic parts. If there is no computers, you can look in bunker chests for the small wire.
- Unlock lapabot and start crafting them in an abandoned house.
- Reset in city again.
- Retrieve your stuff again and then build your base.
- You are done. Stone lapa base is enough for a long time for both raiders and ghouls, so you can build your research bench and smelter in peace.
