Can I Survive in Project Zomboid When THE FLOOR IS LAVA? | Ep 2

hey guys welcome back to Project Zomboid the floor is lava challenge pretty self-explanatory if you'd miss the explanation go back to the first video and you're still confused but I had some pretty good luck today with this one particular house and I don't just mean that I had a lot of furniture to blockade which is an experiment I want to do today but it had some sort of survivalists equipment in it so I'm just gonna replay on the lower left everything that happened between this one in the last one well I was on the way to create a circuit between all the houses because I figure what better way to keep myself safe than to always have some sort of loop to run around in to avoid the zombies and maybe put like a figure eight in the middle so that I could path so that I could you know keep on weaving around and dodged them this house actually ended up having a lot of seeds and I did find I don't know if it's here is it in my main inventory no I left it in this crate I did find a sledgehammer which is gonna be really really useful for us in this playthrough but you know what I want to do this for the sake of experimentation because that's most of what this playthrough is about anyway so I'm gonna leave the stairs there for a while and I just got to figure out what happens when you put a ton of furniture in the way because I was talking with crombel and Archer about this the other day when he was streaming and he said that like all of their paths and got kind of messed up when you put this much stuff in the way and I've kind of suspected similar things so I want to see what happens when I just put it all over the floor but that's not the only thing in this house it turns out that in the back yes they did manage to burn a chicken don't ask any questions but there were also a lot of seeds in the back we found a random rake here too but I'm thinking that priorities for today we've got to lie in wait for the helicopter event because that's the one thing we were pretty much terrified about last time and I'm still scared of the helicopter event because if it hit me right now I'd be stuck in an island on this house and even if I tried to build out there'd still be zombies everywhere so it would make it really unpleasant to try to expend other than that I'd like to maybe get a couple sheet ropes going down to the stairs cut myself off a bit when the actual events happening but then after that we're gonna have to clean up and we're gonna have a lot more hordes to deal with so it's still not from here on out and I'm starting to think more about right away long-term needs now one thing that I'm gonna try to do more this series is farm and what I'd like to do is get like a stairway going up here and get a third floor so the zombies never have access to it and then do all my farming up there I'm gonna have to think more about rain collection because it's really really dry because there's lava everywhere and there's also plant disease spreading around much more easily so planting crops is not going to be any easy endeavor here but I did discover one new thing about the game and that's when I found a gravel bag in the survivalist house and actually this is it's slightly game-breaking but it's gonna make possible it's a whole new series in the future that I really want to try if you pour out gravel on a second floor you can start digging through it and find worms in it which can feed you for a pretty long time you lose a lot of weight but you will find worms and you'll be fed for a while so yeah that's most of what I wanted to go over I think at this point I'm just gonna keep on deconstructing stuff we'll see if we can get Carvin tree level 6 because what are we at right now we did make five but we're on our way up to six maybe we'll catch a little bit more TV and then find more tools and garages that we can start building up here ok so the other thing I actually forgot to mention was that I've been taking corpses now because I want to keep these second floors clear of corpses because otherwise they'll start to get sick and yeah I started a little bit more of like furniture blockade but I put them all beneath the stairs the reason why it's good to put corpses beneath the stairs is because assuming that you're sleeping on the second floor disease and sickness or the feeling of sickness that you get from being around corpses won't come up to the second floor so I'm doing that and I just I'm like aware of my own stupidity so I'm trying to put a little bit of floor out of every single window especially because these Western windows I can't see what's outside of them so I might jump out of one and then there's nothing there and like that would just be a dumb way for this whole thing to end and yeah that's that's pretty much it so at this point let's just keep on getting up our carpentry all right so no sign of the helicopter event yet so I figure I may as well explore this next house I want to get into these garages as soon as possible because I'm gonna need a lot of hardware equipment more nails if I want to keep expanding because we're like we're gonna run out of food fast and I don't know about this crop situation we might be like it might end up being starvation that that kills me and most of my playthroughs I've heard that starvation is the main killer for long-term ones okay right now we've got an unknown number behind that door I'm just gonna try to listen for a second I think it's one or two but I'm not betting on that so I think that the best way to approach this is to leave and never come back now we're gonna try to build over there I'm gonna see if I could scrounge up some other planks look in this window see if it's safer over there and then come through cuz I'd rather them come to me then me try to go through there and figure out what's behind the door if anything I've learned about combat in the new bill that's it's that you should never you should never try to attack an unknown door okay yeah they broke it down it sounds like I gotta check this cuz I might end up needing to use my sledge here in two seconds just get that out throw it on my back so nice to have a character who's not all thumbs this time I gotta say that was probably not okay so we were better off it was three in there and I think at this point I'm just gonna destroy this can I do this really really fast nope alright I'm in trouble okay I'm gonna have to dodge these ones maybe lead him back around or even lead him off to the other side it wasn't thinking I was gonna have to fight him like this though and my character is not really in great condition to fight yet okay we have to get out the window now or you know we could even just kite him off this that would be better ultimately though I'm gonna need to take that whole house down yeah there we go there's one he's gonna come back up through there and he'll probably be banging on the barricades downstairs I don't really want to put away the sledge but okay let's take out the hammer you know what some of you guys had said to me to use the hammer and in previous builds it had not been that good but I realized it's kind of turning into a god weapon or it's it's kind of like the equivalent of the old knife because it pretty much one-shot zombies once they're down okay we don't know who's behind there I'm kind of in trouble here let me just go back out this window I'd rather lead them off and try to fight them right here it's not worth it because if another one comes through there I'm dead don't fight you could fight one but don't try to fight don't try to fight two unless if you're really good in combat and three you might be dead if you if you do any more than that than your maniac okay ah man the one thing I do wish would change bit is see I can't see through that window from over there like it's all just dark toute if I could see that then I'd be better off fighting with it yeah like that no clue that she was coming through there is that a sheet oh no it's a hue my bed he looks exactly like me you know what it's the Donnie haircut all right we're gonna leave all this heavy clothing for now because we're in an incredibly hot climate and I'm not gonna need that at all we're gonna keep our ears peeled do you keep your ease no you keep your eyes peeled keep our ears whatever whatever our ears are oh he's got a duffel I kind of want him up here but at the same time I think I'm just gonna cut off this other house because it's it's a little too risky for right now all right to me it sounds like they just made it through downstairs so I'm gonna check it out I wanna know how they're dealing with these barricades all right so that guys he's just attacking chairs they're not even really in his way and I think that might be part of how like zombies are pretty much magnetically attracted to barricades and player built or maybe even player move to objects so I don't know I mean so far this barricade thing is succeeding pretty well let's just speed up time I want to see how okay so how quickly you got through that fairly quickly but then he doesn't even try to come get me cuz does he see me here I might not even under end up having to sledge these stairs at all I might just have a giant hoard in my basement and nothing to do with it let's see very hungry severely depressed and fairly that's exactly where I'm used to being at you know it's build around on the other side I take back what I said we got another group coming don't like this situation damn that was close actually but I think one of them fell down so these platforms are working out pretty well let's just take out our hammer really quick I think I can fight this one yeah should be able to take her out and then you know what I might just cut off the stairs um I'll use my sheet rope and just go down a couple times to see if I could figure out what's going on downstairs but this is starting to become too distracting and I am kind of putting my life in danger here even if it's for the sake of science okay so I figure they're just hitting random furniture down here he doesn't even see me so what I'm gonna try to do is this I'll take out the oh wait no I don't want to take out the stairs from here because then I have no way of getting back up [ __ ] oh [ __ ] damn that was really close all right let's take out the hammer it looks like there's another one right behind there - oh but you brought your duffel bag to me as well I won't argue with that we're gonna take that off her hands that's great because we're gonna be able to carry around even more stuff let's just take all of this we'll throw it on the floor it's too bad you can't just put it directly into the duffle I'd like that alright let's replace a school bag with duffel bag we don't need this anymore actually looks like some proper survivalist gear and now we're gonna do this take this we don't need the Wardrobe we don't even need some other stuff in here well let's grab the needle we do want to get tailoring sunna I'd be it would be nice if we could get some Terra tailoring in here and we should be able to get the red from furniture what else yeah you know how I might end up having to do this now actually this isn't gonna work at all I'm gonna have to take I'm gonna have to take out a hole in the middle of the floor and get a sheet rope going somewhere in here so I'm gonna work it out for just one second okay this is definitely not one of the more normal-looking fixtures that I've built in the game but if I want to take out the stairs and get up and I put that in the wrong spot can I still use it somehow yeah you know what I could I could probably move out this barricade a little bit I have found an m1911 these zombies - I swear we're just gonna be taking them all out buy this from the second floor I've heard that's a pretty good strategy to start shooting from a higher floor especially if they can't get to you which is true right here except at that point I'm gonna be like canned food let's see very hungry we're actually okay with the very hungry cuz we're obese and we do need to lose some weight and I chose that parsley because I didn't wanna have to think about it let's see how the hell are we gonna get up there so we need to free up this square all right quickly aggro this guy to me I just want to show you how good an item this is I swear look at how look at all my moodle's that I've got on the right side and that guy's still just taken out in like two hits seriously like you gotta try out the hammer it's a very good item now let's see place this down here they should still be I think I'm gonna need double layers of these boxes but they should still be pretty confused if I am here lit and I also just want to watch the fireworks down here all right let's grab this though it does look like they did kind of a number on it already but hopefully you see what I'm going for at this point yep okay so now as long as this works we should be able to get back I thought I fell right there for a second how's she gonna handle this eventually yeah they could take down this rope but there's always gonna be a way up and down and I'm only gonna be sealed in here for a little while for the helicopter event there were pretty much gonna have to make our way out again all right let's just destroy these stairs I'm pretty sure that I can't destroy them for I mean I could destroy other landings by this day actually Kelly nah you know I think it's because it's technically defined on the lower floor that I can't do these alright so we're gonna take out the stairs here and then we'll just live upstairs for a little while I'll still come back down here to watch it because I'm curious how they're gonna handle these barricades I'll still dump corpses down here but otherwise it's gonna be the same okay so one other Moodle that I'm starting to realize we're gonna have to deal with quite often is unhappiness and depression just because we're gonna be spending most of our time indoors so I might want to get some infrastructure set up so that I could be running around outdoors because generally speaking that's the most renewable way to get rid of unhappiness in the game of course there's antidepressants of course there's like good tasting food but you do tend to run out of some of that stuff pretty fast too and we don't have any traits that are gonna make us perpetually unhappy but I don't know it just tends to come on as the game wears on and if we can oh yeah this was an electricians house - what I'd really like to do is start making a lot of traps because I'm so used to playing an illiterate character who can't read anything that to play a character who can actually read magazines feels broken ultimately I would want to get some bird traps going on the upper floor - because I don't know how cold it'll get in winter but if I could just stay voff the hunger and I still feel like that's gonna be the main killer over time look at this guy he's gonna take apart furniture and it doesn't break it feels so good to play this character though okay what I'm thinking I'm gonna start doing is to just take out the staircases in the houses that I linked up so that I have some houses in my network that are guaranteed to be safe I don't know why I didn't think of this before but this playthrough is pretty much gonna work like this I have a limited amount of ground to work with and any time I want to add new ground I'm gonna want to like be really careful about clearing out that one ounce the one danger in this would be if they started piling up on some of my houses which would make it really hard to take new houses but what I can do is this if you don't use a sledgehammer a lot you can't really destroy a staircase from the top of the stairs so what you have to do is go in like this and they might be able to get through this diagonal area right here but that should work I don't really want to test it but I'm gonna take out this other piece of flooring just to be safe and I don't think that they can hop over that maybe like when they're unseen they'll do it somehow but I figure if we do this this house is now safe so now my island is expanded from this house to the house over there which I knew I liked and I did cut off from that one across the street but eventually we'll keep on doing this for our houses until we have better carpentry I'm gonna have to figure out what to do when we go to garages I think we're gonna have to just do like a one-and-done for one floor houses either that or add a second story to them because we won't be able to keep them linked up to our network but it's definitely like a weird it's it's gonna like by the time that we get to the 10th video this place is gonna look so strange and that's that's half the reason I did this ok so this house is another prime example she is starting to hit the barricades I think it's because they're one layer thick though there is yeah there's still planks down there ok I'm gonna have to go down in here because I am getting kind of low on planks right now and I've had difficulty with these hardwood floors cuz my carpentry skills too high so my character doesn't really tend to break them and I have to keep placing them and then picking them back up so as much as I can I just want to work with these things I am gonna have a moment where I'm undefended let's just get unencumbered she made it up the stairs we're just gonna take her out really quick I think I I should probably check on my hammers condition but I think I found one other hammer in that house with the farmer I swear that was the luckiest house but it's gonna set me up so much better for the rest of the playthrough okay we found this avocado oh wait this is this is already in my fridge as you say avocado is a great food I've been reading up on nutrition lately and I'm gonna need a lot of fats and carbohydrates so that's a great early game item I might even want to keep some weight on me even though that I'm already pretty fat right now okay I don't remember exactly which trap I need for birds but these hunter magazines are gonna come in really handy because that's gonna be one of the only things that I can forage I figure if the floor is lava the birds still probably have somewhere to perch and they can pick out I don't know scraps to eat but any other animals I guess except for mice or anything that I could catch inside or just whatever I can do you know at the top of a staircase or in a house any of that stuff is not fair game anymore all right we found a ton of planks so I'm carrying 12 on me right now cuz my character is so strong but at this point what I'm what I'm kind of planning on doing is that when they do attack with the Horde event I'm gonna stay in these two houses because these are my Island right now and then once it's over I want to be able to expand out in a couple different directions at once because if I to quickly link up to only one spot it's gonna be like opening the flood gates like if I build over to only this one house and then I can't take out the staircase then I'm gonna have a lot more to deal with so right now it's in my interest to expand over a wide area and cut off the stairs so that once the horde event happens or once the helicopter event happens then they'll kind of spread out like I've noticed that the way that they get aggro to me when I'm on the second floor is they just got to go under me and then if there is a way to get up to me they'll come into a nearby house and try to get up the stairs so sometimes like I'm not looking close enough so this one snuck up behind me so you got to be careful with it but that's more or less the way we got to play this until we get to that horde event all right so this house should have some bees in it still and I'm gonna cut off the staircase at the top I'm probably not even gonna check that damn I was looking for the ones upstairs first not even her I think this one might even be the same model though is the last house to it I might end up doing is just taking out a hole in the bathroom again putting some planks it ok we're probably gonna get swarmed in a second she almost bit my foot at this point I'm wondering why I even bothered coming here we're so winded and exhausted maybe I was you know what maybe I'm just gonna cut off this house now I'm gonna need these planks we got to do it I'm just gonna push her off though I'm too weak to take her out we got a crawler right through that no she's not right through the window okay this one's probably gonna come back up the stairs to try to kill me so let's just take out the crawler really fast if we can strength don't fail me now crawlers is such a still they're a pain in so many ways different ways than they were before but still a pain all right I just looked out the floor from beneath that zombies feet I've never done that before but I got to cut myself off and I got to keep these planks so I got to do it we're gonna see if we can cut off that bit of stop moving as I walk as I talk we're gonna cut off that first house and then I don't know I don't want to expand in this direction so maybe I'll go across the street but I gotta rest too cuz my character is getting really quickly winded just because of the nature of the work that he has ahead of him even though that he's very strong he's got to carry around all these really heavy tools like I needed to have a sledge hammer all this construction equipment and a lot of planks on me all the time unfortunately one nice part about all the zombie corpses right now that I'm finding is that I pretty much have unlimited sheet ropes and I didn't think I would need sheet rows before this challenge but they are gonna come in handy just because any time I destroy a staircase I still want access to all the stuff that I'm finding on the lower floor and I can always cast out a few more so I am gonna leave some of these on the upper floors even though that they might make me sick I might just put them in a different room or something somewhere away from my bed cuz it sickness doesn't transfer across floors or like the nauseating nature of corpses doesn't but I'm pretty sure if you like space them out enough you're okay somehow I managed to cut off the first floor of the main house that I was in and somehow that fridge is still floating in mid-air which is kind of Awesome I'm not gonna question it too much it does give me safety and it gives me a place to store my delicious avocados weirdly enough you can put a fridge inside of another fridge in Project Zomboid which is probably one of my favorite parts in the game we're gonna do we're gonna do a lot of things that seem pretty ridiculous in this playthrough just try not to question them at all okay well we cut off all three houses so we're now pretty much living on an island I can still watch what they do with the barricades and I think I am gonna go down there for the helicopter event just to watch the fireworks but we're now low on food I can get worms from the ground but like I said I think I want to keep some fat on me just well the powers on so I am gonna need an avocado right now even though that an avocado is probably one of the most fattening foods in the game does it have the same model as a lime actually there are no limes I just made that up Oh actually yeah our weight still dropping I guess we didn't have 2000 calories I think that the way that the weight system works and correct me if I'm wrong on this but I'm pretty sure that it's if you don't have 2,000 calories and like enough carbs and lipids throughout the day you don't gain weight and I think there's a good shoulder or maybe it's related to when you go to sleep but yeah I've been trying to read up on that and better understand it just so that it's not so mystifying honestly like in real life a lot of people struggle with that so I figure it kind of makes sense alright I just woke up and we've got the helicopter event totally happening so here's what I'm gonna do it's kind of like the ultimate climax of today but what its gonna do is make a few passes over and it's pretty much gonna hone in on my location so everybody from around the neighborhood unless if they get stuck on a fence is gonna be headed straight toward my location so this is basically where the playthrough ramps up in difficulty I'm gonna have a lot coming through here and yeah it's it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see where they path that's probably the part where I'm most interested in it like are they gonna be attracted a helicopter to me and once I have been up around here I'm just gonna head downstairs because they can always just duck out by climbing that sheet rope that I had in this house but I want to see how they deal with those barricades because I might make more extensive use of those if I still want to use the first floors of houses and don't get me wrong I do want to use the first floor as much as possible I just don't have that much ground to deal with I mean ultimately we could even have a whole set of green or a houses down there if everything works out okay so more or less as I suspected I just aggro them to see where they go and I think all the zombies like there's a bunch see that shadow right underneath me I think there's a bunch that are right there because they don't have any path to get to me so I guess by they're like pathing algorithm or something they just go underneath just go directly underneath me they're like sharks waiting for a guy to go down actually you know it would be great is building more of these cross walkways that I can get a better picture of what's going on yep that's pretty much it though they don't always get aggro so what I'm pretty much gonna have is what I had feared every time I tried to go to a new house assuming that they keep on moving like this I'm gonna have a lot of zombies pretty much just waiting in there trying to kill me and I'm gonna need to expand the network and make it more confusing if I don't want them to do that so we don't really have enough planks to just build a circuit here anymore I think I'm probably gonna build out to that house next that red one and then after that we'll try to link back to these just that we have some sort of network and then I don't know I'll look around from there again but yeah it's a pretty good plan for right now salad copter seems to have stopped kind of early to might make another pass back over yeah at this point they're all starting to stack up here okay so I'm gonna build like this if I go to that house I want to have a bunch of different entrances ready to the second floor because if they all come funneling out of one I'm gonna need to retreat back in my network and I'm not gonna have enough room to fight them so let's see if we can link up to a couple different entrances there and maybe even a few buildings at once so I'm going to need to keep a lot of planks in reserve okay so we're built more or less right up to this window but I don't want them to come and try to kill me when I go into that house cuz if I build it right there I guarantee you I'm gonna get like 10 spill out of the thing so I don't know it's kind of tricky here what I might end up trying to do is find a bunch of alarm clocks just to throw them off of where I'm gonna be coming down so that when I want to attack a new building I can set off the alarms in nearby buildings attack that building take out the staircase and then like safely expand the network and I'll have to keep on moving around those alarm clocks but first I'm gonna have to find those alarm clocks if I don't want to make this happen so let's just keep our eyes out for that digital watches will work - all right moment of truth here I'm kind of running short on planks so I'm either gonna need to take out some door oh we do have four planks over it never mind I'll be okay but um I want to see how they deal with this and I do still want to get a chair from downstairs just because I don't mind sleeping with a little bit of neck pain and if I could do it and then free up that beds blanks that's another seven more planks for me so let's just make sure we're okay crap is there any way I could check downstairs before I do this I really don't want to like climb down there and then just learn that there's 20 of them in there you know what scratch this plan I may need to do it another way yeah I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna be safe doing this get a sheet rope over there but there's still no way of peering downstairs so this is not gonna be a safe long-term strategy yeah you know what screw it I'm not doing that I'm just gonna mmm no I do need it like it's stupid you can't sleep on a toilet just thinking of my long-term needs right here unfortunately you don't have to defecate in this game so that's not even something I'm thinking about you know what screw it it doesn't look like that they're so bad in here so I'm gonna head over to the other house because I think they're all Agra it's me over there across the street yeah more or less let's see if we can quickly take out the staircase in this and then find a chair on the upper floor in here okay we're in and really really fast I'm just gonna see if I can take out one of these floors yep nope not happening okay now I'm in more trouble I can hardly see in the window let's just stay out here I'm just gonna push him off I don't even want to take the time to deal with this guy nope not at all right well it's hid in his head and I've already bit off more than I could chew um I'm just gonna stride this tile really quick please please please please please please please work please work please work please work nope not working okay not happenin don't want to fight her we're in that guy's dead oh no he's probably a crawler now at this point I almost let her get a bite in on me okay now we've got them all streaming in did not want this situation you know what she might be a crawler at this point I got to cut off that other house at this point yep those two are now gonna be crawlers and she just went through the floor too okay well you know what well we this is a huge [ __ ] show I'm just gonna scream try to get them all to follow me over here and then I'm gonna have to go back across the street and do that house instead I need more planks cuz I'm running out of food you know it's scratched what I said two seconds ago I'm actually not running out of food because they can always just dig up some worms here eventually like I'll lose weight but I do have a short term short term food supply let's see actually short and medium term just not like years long I'm so obese but it also makes me very unhappy but I'm already severely depressed for some for some reason I can't even really put my finger on why all right let's go to the other house now and we're gonna do this I've been using this mechanic just to train my sneak I figure I may as well keep on sneaking on these upper platforms one it's slow so I get to be more careful too they probably won't spot me once I get good enough at it and three it's good I don't know so okay let's put down this floor and first thing we want to do on any of these houses is just cut off the staircase really really fast if I can't do it I got a retreat back and that's why it's good to have long paths on the way here I'm gonna try to keep them as long and winding as possible okay let's go for this one I don't even think it's worth it to scout out the rooms I'm probably just better off just destroying the stairs so I'm gonna destroy these two two tiles one here one there and then I'll clear out the rooms okay we're almost we're almost home free I don't think that they can get over this diagonal pass just keeping our backs turned for one thing you know what screw it I don't think it can happen but in some like ungodly nightmarish world they're gonna get through it and like ten of them to me so let's just cut it off unfortunately you can't destroy the top step I think that's part of it like that you have to destroy that from below or whatever it is okay let's see nobody in here check the bathroom keep checking the hammer I don't like leaving my back exposed like that we got who anyway nobody in here let's check behind the door nobody there is this house safe nobody in here anybody in here nobody in here but for some reason this is broken down door I guess they went downstairs okay so there's probably a bunch of the downstairs so we'll need to be careful when we attack that part but now we just had on another house and the other one next to us is pretty good condition to you well it looks like the helicopter events are over so now I'm gonna kind of switch to my medium-term strategy and that's just clearing out these houses so let's get rid of this depression and let's just keep on taking apart furniture because the sooner we can get downstairs in there Goo's garage is the better all right sounds like they broke down the door downstairs and I'm starting to realize one flaw in my plan most of the food in these houses is on the lower floors so I'm gonna have to do one of two things either this do I have my bag of gravel on me that I don't have it on me okay I mean they're gonna have to dig up worms from gravel that I put out in the ground for a long time which I'll do right now just to show you how it works or yet do we have gravel here gravel bag take that on me and I'm gonna need a shovel too okay somehow a zombie made it upstairs here which is why the spawns freaked me out because they think that I think that they do spawn on the upper floors sometimes because I can't figure she could not have gotten up that and there's no way and from the other side so I don't know some things that I thought would be easier or more difficult and some things that I thought would be more difficult or easier I guess it's just what I'm trying to say I'm just gonna set out a few points here and I want to show you how to do this because I don't think I've ever even done this in another series but I want to have a few spots where I can just dig up for worms along here and let's go over to this spot it should be on like you know I think it would be especially weird if we just put it in a house so let's do it shovel equip in both hands and now we can pour out gravel let's just put it on the ground here right next to this window and then we should be able to dig a furrow that's gonna give us a chance of finding them I mean eventually we could start to make our own greenhouses indoors I don't know if we be better off because it's warmer inside or better insulated don't tell me this doesn't work in here it might be that when you're indoors it doesn't work ah you know what I think that's it that's gotta be it cuz that would explain how I found them in the gravel earlier okay I gotta go slower here but let's try this pour out gravel from the gravel bag right here I swear they freak me out I keep hearing them like right behind me but they're a floor below me okay let's dig a furrow here and we should be able to find some nah okay yeah that's it I can find a couple now I mean this isn't gonna feed me forever it'll feed me for a few months because worms have only pros or mostly just protein in them you'd probably need to eat hundreds which you just can't find with a day's labor if you wanted to gain weight from it so in the long term you can't live off of worms but in the short term yeah you can live off of worms okay so let's just finish this off and if I want any decent nutrition I am gonna have to start clearing out the lower parts of house because that's where all the refrigerators are and I'm gonna need to do that a long term so we'll have to figure out a new strategy for how we attack these houses you know what I'm also starting to realize that I probably should have done on the first day is it's really dry here and we're not gonna get a lot of rain and I'm probably first gonna die of thirst than anything else so what I'd better start to do now is go downstairs to kitchens find some bowls and other things that I could put water in and just fill all of them up from the taps soon the water is gonna go off so that's more urgency to get down to the first floors of these buildings I might not have it quite as easy as I thought I did okay but we gotta sleep yeah it's like it's just the whole combination of factors I've never had a character who got this exhausted this early in the game usually that's more of a late-game endeavor alright but you know what I guess we're gonna just have to sleep until we have energy again we're gonna have to do everything with this depression as well all right it did say that I wanted to see what it would be like at these lower floors and since I've been away from this house a little while I think it's fine alright so they haven't even attacked any the furniture down here I'm gonna occasionally make a trip down here cuz I do need to get these seeds back again but it looks like they do get caught up on barricades so even if I hadn't found that sledgehammer barricades would have been a perfectly good way to just lead them on down there at least for a while I'm sure would have stalled them for a couple days enough for the helicopter event to pass anyway alright let's go to sleep now yeah woke up with a zombie right on me I either missed the path or they're spawning in upstairs because that's not normal they might be spawning in residences so I'm gonna have to really cut myself off like I'm gonna [ __ ] wait is there a path over there did I make it I may have made a path to the other hand I totally didn't do that did I that would be so dumb man you're trying to destroy my crate too I got all my valuables in that critic geez yeah you know it either I didn't cut off that house or they're spawning in the upstairs that would be terrible yeah I cut off this floor what the hell oh you know what there I was right about the diagonals that can come through there okay so I'm gonna need to make sure I do that in the pathfinding still that doesn't really explain there was one in the last house I'm glad I at least got to see that one come over because otherwise I've been puzzled for a really long time but yeah I remember this from my Dead Rising playthrough when I tried to lead everybody through the mall okay we're gonna have to destroy this one too crap another one all right you know we'll just push you off all right so that guy came through but I destroyed that part so it looks like he's just puzzled which way to go so I think I'm just gonna head back in now this house is safe I think I'm just gonna have to keep on like checking everywhere that I've worked only because I'm probably gonna leave a few paths open I should have one house that I know for sure is safe all right let's see if we can get rid of the rest of that tiredness I think it's good they can't climb sheet ropes I was thinking of trying not as a'm be with navigation I don't know if those can climb sheet ropes it would actually be pretty incredible yeah I think we're safe I'm just gonna make one last quick check at the other house and then go to bed again alright it looks like they're starting to gather up now on the ground and there are gonna be a lot that come in here but I think before zombies it's gonna be water so really the two long-term needs right here are water cuz it's just such a dry environment and then just not getting swarmed when we go into houses so I didn't leave that path totally cleared last night I mean I think when it's that far they just don't even sense how far to go because I think that's too much computational power on the engine so at this point I think I don't know I think I'm gonna try to just tackle this house and we're gonna have to go to a couple kitchens cuz that's not gonna work out and also these indoor furrows aren't gonna work for finding worms we can use those for crops though I mean in the winter if it gets cold enough but it is a really hot climate too so all right let's go in here maybe tackle one more house okay I'm starting to realize that probably the most dangerous part of this playthrough is gonna be taking going down via sheet ropes to these lower floors so a way that I'm thinking of trying it out is maybe cutting off part of it and then coming in underneath or behind a staircase that way my character mmm actually can I even do that nah that might not work out I'm gonna have to make a lot of noise in other places and see if I can guess where they are underneath me because I don't want to jump down into a giant horde of like 30 of them but we can craft these sheet ropes we should have more clothes in here probably oh damn okay that's pretty nice since we're carrying around so much stuff this was a really good find yeah let's replace the duffel bag with a big hiking bag but again we got to get that water going soon only because the taps are gonna give out soon and it's not gonna rain much here so that'll force me to make even more desperate plays to go into kitchens and grab water bottles from the last remaining fridges okay so let's the last remaining water bottles from fridges so let's just fill everything up everything that we got and then I don't know well we'll try to go down and just hit as many kitchens as we possibly can get those containers I'd see this I don't like this that means that whenever I go downstairs in these houses I'm gonna have that to deal with so what I'm gonna do right now is to shout a lot so that they come out of those houses yeah look at him coming from all over the neighborhood I think I took conspicuous still it wasn't that one of my traits no actually I didn't take conspicuous I took clumsy so I'm making more noise when I'm moving too so this might actually turn out to be a really good trait here because I can get them to follow me here and then if I get my sneaked up enough I could avoid them maybe they'll lose track of me and then I could dive into these kitchens grab the bowls get the water out and then preserve a lot of water cuz right now I'm I feel like I'm standing on top of an island about to get eaten by sharks I am sorry that was a terrible analogy I think sinking ship would have been a better one at this point though let's just really quickly go down this was a lucky spot because we're between two pieces of furniture but I'm just gonna quickly pick up one of them let's see if we can just get one houses worth of that water that would be good let's put that back down it looks like that they aren't hearing me and we're just gonna go in here Bowl okay anything like this just anything that can contain water and it we gotta grab that stuff out okay salt yeah ventually we'll want some of this stuff the food is okay I have to think about cooking and stuff like that more though to any food in here to fresh radishes this is why it was good to get a refrigerator up on the second floor I like the first day okay at this point any beginner books - I mean they are okay farming from beginners is gonna be fantastic I won't even need mechanics so I'll just leave that eventually I don't know if you could fish from the second floor but if you can I'd love to do it battery no I don't need that and at this point okay we're out of here we got to go I don't want to I don't want to deal with him in this pot okay that's great because if we go down on furniture to cuz I'm more or less going down on a random item yeah okay yeah I'm hearing them coming we got to get out of here like now okay come on come on come on get it okay we got to go you can you hear them like sniffing for me and I might have even want to try that like a more stealthy character but okay we got bowls we could fill this up and what I'm gonna have to do until we get rain collectors and everything else and I can plumb a sink or something like that we're just gonna have to put a bunch of bowls and other cooking gear out on these rooftops and pray for rain yeah look it looks like they already took down the sheet rope so that's how close I was nice okay I got a bowl of water I'm just gonna throw that down in here I think I'm gonna put away I could eat this radish its produce it's not that bad for me I could do cooking but I just want to make sure I can serve as much as possible for the water the reason why this water is even more valuable than the rainwater is because it's not tainted yet and as far as weight I didn't I didn't totally fill it up and if you put clean water out with rainwater it does go bad or like it gets tainted and we want to minimize that as much as possible we're not gonna have so much access to wood so we can't purify everything so we got to make do with what we've got actually oh [ __ ] did the water already go off if the water is already off that's gonna make this way more difficult let me just use up some of it bowl of water either that or I'm just getting like a right-click error right here fill yeah I know I'm doing it from the toilet bowl that's kind of gross but it's just as good quality for private exam board okay we got the bowl of water that's safe I'm gonna leave this indoor so that it doesn't get tainted all right I don't know yeah it's gonna be food and water I'm well the food I got covered I'll just be severely depressed but it's gonna be water water and hoards like this all right so we've figured out a few of our new problems I think I'm gonna call it there because we're relatively safe we did make it through the helicopter event we found a few items that I thought would be game breakingly good in that house but we're still not totally safe and there's gonna be more zombies spawning and more like tense moments like that where I don't have where I can't predict what's underneath me so I'm gonna see if I could figure out how to solve that problem coming down on the cheap ropes let me know what you guys think if you have any other ideas and just leave them down in the comments I've gotten tons of good challenge ideas but uh yeah I really want to do this one full justice alright thanks for watching it and as always I'll see you guys in the next video buh-bye
