Days 22-23
Day 22 -
We were raided in this version. No one was wounded and we were able to defend ourselves. Bruno cooks some food, Pavel and Bruno eat some food. Thrilling start. I start to chop up a bed for fire wood instead of sleeping. That's a fun mis-click dynamic, lol. We make some saws for construction site scavenging.
Night 22-
The initial plan was: Marko scavenges, Pavel Guards, Bruno and Arica sleep. Unfortunately, the construction site was cutoff from us due to fighting, woof. We decide to go to the school with the hatchet, shovel, lockpick and SAW. Time to gain access to some new areas and find some loot! We use our saw to access a new area and I encounter some hobos, but they aren't angry hobos and they don't stab me with their hobo knives, so that's good. We eventually find a bunch of water in a fridge and stash a bunch more loot. Toward the end of the night, I go back up to the exterior area and chop up some furniture with the hatchet and store the wood for the coming winter. When we leave, I've got a full load of material and we have 2+ loads of materials stashed as well. A good night, and we arrive home to find that the night was calm and Arica is feeling much better. Even more positive!
Day 23 -
We build a 3rd bed, which will be helpful as it will allow us to get more sleep during the day with our players who have to stay awake during the night. You can manage with 2 beds, but it just seems someone always ends up fatigued. Then I accidentally scrap the bed instead of sleeping in it. So I build a new bed again! YAY. The trader dude comes and I trade some booze and raw tobacco for veggies and raw food and coffee. I think in future playthroughs I might try to get into making cigs and herbal meds instead of booze. The only problem I have with making cigs is that it can be hard to control the usage rate if you have smokers in the house, making them less trade able than booze. Bummed that my squirrel traps haven't been producing much lately.
Night 23 -
Scavenge with Marko, Pavel guards, Arica and Bruno sleep. Back to the school we go with a saw and shovel. I use the saw blade to access a new area hoping for some awesome loot... and instead I find a stash of veggies that are property of the hobos and labeled private property. My good guy playthrough rules are against stealing, so I basically wasted the saw blade. FUUUUU. On the flip side, I find some food and booze in the fridge but the hobos are fine with me taking that. Vegan teetotaler hobos, apparently. I also found a bunch of medicine and a lock pick. SWEET. I also found a few more materials as well. Pretty much cleared this whole site out and stashed everything where it is easy to reach. We arrive home to find the night was calm but Marko isn't feeling well and Arica is feeling better.
