The Wasteland Treasures book series (I think it's #6) also allow you to weave Grass into Cloth, which is a fairly easy way to get tons of cloth once you obtain the book.
I haven't had any issues with duct tape. Before I've even gotten a steady supply of water from dew collectors, I have boat loads from looting. Bones are so plentiful that by day 21 or so, I don't even go out of my way to harvest the dead animals anymore and I will usually leave any bones I find in kitchens unless I start running low again. I know a lot of people will push getting their tier 1 quests done for the bike, but I just loot, mostly. Every 1 or 2 skull poi I see, I gut it completely. I smack cotton, rocks and branches everywhere I run to passively gather resources. I am just a straight up hoarder in the game.
I don't really understand the "controversies" that I see in the comments in this video. Information in this sorts of games is key. I am getting always low on cloth and i do a lot of scrapping so farming might be a good option. Being able to get insane amounts of bones in a night is a cool way to be less worried about them in the rest of the days and water will always be necessary so having more is always goed specially if you farm then start farming and want to cook some higher quality foods in higher quantities (so it kills 2/3 birds in one sitting) The guy showed us a good way to get a lot of the materials necessary for duct tape. What y'all expecting??
Even late game I find bones are better than super corn because of all the animals, birds, and gore piles you find everywhere. I've also never had to plant cotton because I harvest chairs, curtains, mattresses and get more than enough cotton. Mix that with the Wasteland Treasures book that lets you make cloth from Plant Fiber and you'll never have to worry about crops for cloth.
Get lots of water (check every toilet for murky water in POIs and make lots of dew collectors) and break down animals and body piles for bones. Then make glues. You can break down mattresses and even tents for cloth fragments to then make duct tapes. Usually tier 3-4 have checkpoint POIs where you can break down all tents for hundreds of cloth fragments. IMO farming cotton isnt worth over other crops and too tedious to make cloth fragment as you need higher tiers of Living off the land and by the time you max out on the thing you'd have enough dukes to buy straight off traders
I don't get it why so many people get offensive about some alternative ideas on how to farm certain things. OK, planting cotton is not very innovative but it is just an example how to get an infinite source of cloth. I liked the vulture trap though. And yes, both cloth and bones are easy to find in huge quantities, but knowledge doesn't hurt (or does it? some of the comments read like that...).
Hey man. Your video is actually good. One point of this is to actually start this process while you do things like growing crops and killing zombies and then building. Even getting the process going early game while collecting water from toilets and bones from anything really. If people want immediate results, do the duplication glitch with the personal vehicle and repeat that. Thank you for the time you put into this video. People dont understand how to take your video and apply it to their playthough in a creative way. They want you to tell them how to do it. Keep doing you.
This is endgame when you already have everything. Just look for pois like hotels, theaters, clothing stores, etc... And break beds, sofas, clothing piles and anything that looks like it has cloth. Bonus points if you get a mission there and you can double dip on them. For bones, just carry a knife and break every roadkill and cadaver you find while looting and you will be swimming in bones. If tou are desperate, go to the snow biome and hunt animals, you will not only get bones but also a ton of food.
I forgot to mention, if you can find yourself a military checkpoint, the tents are made of cloth, if you can double dip one of those you can get like 4 stacks of cloth easy. They also tend to have body bags that have a respectable amount of bones
@SergioPSC you do have valid points for this mate. But personally I've dived into farming on day 3. So not really end game. Farmer Armour is so easy to craft and max "living off the land" only requires 7 perk points which is achievable on day 1. So I am sorry to say I disagree
yeah, I don't ever need to "Farm" bones, just...poke corpses and carrion as you come across it. once you're far enough into the game, the snow and destroyed biome are SO active with animals, you can get literally thousands. [also the testosterone from bears is pretty valuable!
@@grimsgraveyard3598 I find they can be handy. if you break your leg more often than you'd like steroids will help a lot, since they not only remove encumberance penalties, but they also remove most other penalties, like exacerbating injuries.
Good video, never seen a specialized way to gather these materials, it was fun. But for me this is super late game stuff or for a weird duct tape only run, or maybe playing as THE farmer in a big group. The way I see it: You don't need a special structure, maxed out stats or gear for this. The only disadvantage for not doing it this way is the time you spend boiling the murky water (if you only have 1 bonfire) or if you are super far away from the forest biome. so it's not a big deal. Bones: Like you said every time you go hunting you get bones from an animal, the bigger the animal the more bones, meat and other stuff, no need in investing perk for that. Not to mention you get bone drops in kitchens and harvesting corpses (the ones that are already dead). Cotton to make cloth: Any cotton plants, they are everywhere in the forest biome, if you don't find one right away look for a red or yellow plants they are usually mixed in a group of those. Water: make more than 1 dew collector and buy the gatherer and tarp for one of them first. Then 2 more of those for the other ones when you have the dukes. It only takes a few min to purify the water from the dew collectors. A good way to speed it up is to have plenty of bonfires going to boil several bottles, so don't throw away your cooking pots. If you don't want to stand there and wait you can do that during the time you arrive at your base, brings in items and putting them in your crates, building something, looking at the perk tree, before you leave and so on. The water filter is too expensive, ( more than 7000 dukes) and might as well spend that money in books, better mods or more gatherers and tarps for the other dew collectors, but if you are swimming in dukes during late game, you are in a big group with lots of dukes or something like that then go for it. Extra glue and duct tape: You'll find that during mission/looting places if you loot things, so it's good to pick those up. Note that the upgrades for the dew collector available in the store depends on what stage your are in the game, you won't be needing much duct tape early on anyways so it's best to keep playing and check if they have it for sale when you'll eventually need it. Gatherer is in the traders inventory at game stage lvl 15, the tarp at stage lvl 26 and the water filter at game stage lvl 36.
@guy13677 I find during hordes and after a screamer screams my base works fine. But when screamers get to my base without seeing me. They start just hitting my 3 thick steel walls instead of trying my bridge. I use vertically placed empty cylinders as a deterrent around my whole base. Base is also 30mx30m size wise. Lemme know if you have any suggestions mate
If you know where Bob's Boars is, you not only have access to supercorn, but to a renewable source of bones and meat every few days when the enemies respawn, because the boars respawn, too.
In future updates, I would like the fun pimps to look into water a bit more. It would be cool to craft boats for one. But maybe have underwater POIs, water zombies, and water creatures. Also, water purification. Why can’t we make electrical water pumps that purify water. Maybe even a hydroelectric system you can only use in rivers. Just some ideas.
Thank you for the video. If you hang around the first trader. For some reason I was getting animal spawns like crazy around it in the Forest. esp around the front of it. If your hurting for food. Hang around trader and it will come to you. LOL. Seems like they trying to go in and don't see it as a wall. Guess they think they can pass thru the walls.
It's probably already been said, but farmer hat only increases the chance of finding seeds in loot (probably trash). It doesn't do anything for actual farming.
There use to be the ability to gather sand place in forge and make glass jars which you then simply scooped any water to get dirty water to boil for infinite water, you could also do the same with snow and glass jars...but dev's got rid of that about 3 alpha's ago to once again appease the newer plays who complained about easy water access. They also increased glue production requirements from bones and amde it so you needed purified water instead of dirty water.
Is Super Corn more readily available now? I haven't played in like 2-3 years (just having another go with V1.0 now), and back in the day if you were playing on a random seed you more or less had to scout the seed in a map viewer before you committed to it, to make sure it had a Bob's Boars POI in order to get the Super Corn (I can't recall ever seeing a trader selling either the corn or the seeds).
@jaxsonbateman Bob's boars and checkpoint 3 have guaranteed super corn seeds and recipes. You can get supercorn seeds in a farm bundle and the recipe from book shelves but that's not guaranteed.
Interesting video - I feel like the bird trick for horde night is something a lot of people wouldn't know, but I'm curious how useful it actually is given that you have to wait 7 days between drinks, as well as sacrificing zombie spawns and potential xp + loot bags (though for someone like me that likes farming the extra flesh is a nice touch). Corn, cotton and water being infinite via farming is really only something a brand spanking new player would need to be told though. 😅
there are a lot of very new players it seems. Also you will get so many bones from the birds you wont need to be doing it every single horde night. Like for real one horde night with 2 people and youll have more bones than you know what to do with. Even at 4 per glue.
@@Firespark81 Definitrly. Appreciate the content - and even for me, someone that's played before but only ever couple of years, finding out Super Corn is a lot more accessible these days was useful.
Ooooo infinite bones, that should hold me over til i get the super corn recipe, as for the screamers i always have a little box with some hatches for doors near my base, free xp bebe
Small tip for anyone trying to do the vulture farming base, specially if playing solo. Knife attack animation is much faster than harvest animation, so a way to harvest much faster is to aim next to the corpse instead of into the corpse. This will start the attack animation, then redirect the attack to the corpse to harvest it and again out of it before the next animation starts (so it's again an attack animation, otherwise it'll start the harvest one). It's a bit tricky at first and you need some practice to get the right tempo, but it will save you a lot of time and maybe your life of playing on higher game stages/difficulty levels/horde sizes.
I hate farming... I put one point into living off the land and plant whatever seeds I find just to have extra food. But, the Vulture idea is AMAZING... that really is a great idea... I already run a double blade trap setup on the walkway to my fighting position anyway. I do well with glue, water , bones and cloth... After I finish a POI, i cut apart ever bed, couch, chair and all the curtains and rugs. For bones I mainly just always pick them up. But I also farm the giant pig or the place with the two giant zombie bears... Red bags, plus plenty of hide, fat, and bones. I havent passed by a coffee machine, a toilet, a drink cooler or a water dispenser since 1974... not one time! LOL
Best thing to do is just farm dew collectors, keep an eye out for all cloth possible, and farm corpses and animals for bones. (Multiple campfires speeds up crafting, water will become your biggest bottle neck) Cotton, tents, beds, couches, curtains give cloth. (Keep an eye out for tires and big blue water barrels for polymer, pipe piles and toilets/sinks for pipes, and duct tape can be found anywhere, check garbage piles, cardboard boxes, and store shelfs) unfortunately you need duct tape to start the duct tape farm
You can find cotton in the wild and still turn it into cloth and find bones and water pretty easily after like day 10 idk what you want bro to tell you he just told you how to consistently get it not how to have it hand fed to you
I like going to the winter biome for animal products. That’s where a lot spawn in and they contrast the color of the snow so they’re easy to hunt. I suppose I only have 2 dew collectors but we keep a chest next to it and just horde more water than what we can drink. For cloth I just go do a quest and break stuff and perhaps do a double loot with the quest. Or I’ll craft using the skill I got for making cloth out of plant fibers. I’ve yet to do farming but I love farming games so maybe I’ll get into it, just hasn’t been necessary Not a big fan of the cheese bases and stuff personally but it’s fun to watch these kinds of videos and see what others are up to. Thank you :)
Glad I'm the Farmer in my game, and we know where Bob's Boars is to go fetch the supercorn and recipe 😁 I'll be sure to have a cotton and supercorn farm section in the base design
Yea, to be honest with you I never really have issues with duct tape, cloth or glue but apparently people do as I made another video and got a ton of comments about how duct tape is a scarce and precious thing.
Water is the only one of these ingredients that's difficult to farm, considering the fact that more than 2 dew collectors will definitely spawn screamers every 5-10 minutes. I'm not 100% sure about this, but the testing I've done, plus speaking with numerous people about it, has all but confirmed that the farmer gear does not stack with the "Living off the Land" skill. With "Living off the Land" maxxed, there is little to no change when you equip farmer gear. One or the other is helpful. Both is a waste of time and resources.
It 100% will not spawn screamers every 5 to 10 min. We have 3 of them going along with 2 forges and we get about 2 per day that spawn at the same time. Also people need to stop fearing screamers. They really are not that big of a deal and they allow you to farm a bunch of exp. As for the farmer gear just go look at the XML files. People have no idea what they are talking about. There is literally nothing in there that would prevent them from stacking and you can put the chest piece on and clearly see that you get an extra with every harvest.
@@Firespark81 It 100% does spawn them every 5-10 minutes, for me and at least 8 other people I play with. Usually in pairs, and up to 4 irradiated at a time. It's not fear. It's simply impractical when it happens while you're still using pipe guns or generally low level weapons. When you're at end game, it's not a problem, of course. I don't care what the xml says. A single extra crop is hardly worth wasting resources on the armor, and the chance of getting an extra seed is so small it's not even noticeable. One point into "Living off the Land" is better than a full set of quality 6 farmer gear.
@@kraevgames By themselves (air quotes), 3 dew collectors won't spawn screamers every 5-10 minutes. But when you add some campfire, some forging, some cement mixers, some workbenching, some pre-electric base lighting... it adds up. In a base where I had 2 forges going full time, 1-2 campfires running much of the time, 2 cement mixers going about half the time, and 2 workbenches & a chem station each going about 1/4 of the time... Adding 4 modded out dew collectors did increase screamer hordes to about every 10 minutes. But I was getting them about every 20-25 minutes before the dew collectors. If you look at the wiki for dew collectors, they're not the main source of heat. It's just that by the time you get them in game (in significant numbers) they put your heatmap over the top noticeably quicker. 5 dew collectors roughly equals 2 campfires with infinite wood. And literally cooking murky water 24/7 to make it clear water, will generate just as much heat if not more. Not to come to FireSpark's rescue here, the dew collectors (and mods) are the _only_ part of this video I _would_ actually recommend.
@@kathrynck When I have 3 dew collectors, and absolutely nothing else happening, I get screamers every 5-10 minutes. So does everyone else on the server I use. So does everyone else I talk to regularly, even when they're playing solo. Maybe you all just play on easy mode.
Well, I agree with using dew collectors (with filters & other mods). The heat they generate giving you clean water, is roughly on par with the heat you'd get cooking looted murky water. So the heatmap concerns are overblown. 5 dew collectors (with mods) generates heat about like 2 campfires running continuously, and outputs clean water only slightly slower, with much less fuss. (I do get the 'feeling' that they increased their heatmap just recently though, probably needs fresh testing. not sure if it's just heatmap in general or just collectors) The rest of this is pretty silly. Unless you just _happen_ to be going Machine Gunner & Fists _anyway_ then it becomes "viable" but not necessarily recommended. I could see the SuperCorn if you were _already_ a farmer-build. I can't really see farming cotton though, even as a farmer perk build. And I can't really see deliberately trying to get birds on horde night unless you just hate XP & loot. The main benefit of using roof turrets to get rid of birds on horde night, is that it gets rid of them _faster_ than spikes, which helps keep your zombie-spawn-rate up. One time (once, ever, in 1000's of in-game hours) early in a playthrough, I deliberately burned myself on a burning barrel, and ran around in the desert to get some birds, because I had a dire need for bones, rotting, and feathers (all three).
So I only need most of the farmer gear and knowledge to plants dozens of cotton and only need the traps unlocked with steel unlocked and electric unlocked and during a horde night sit on the bike then get off and farm the bones and kill the zombies and look after the repairs and back on the bike and repeat. This sounds too easy 😐
It honestly is easy the bones is honestly the least of your problems you can skip the bone farm I've never ran out of bones also glue not so much either. it's cloth I'm always running out of. This is just the best way to do it.
@@AngusKart I mean it's not the best but it has the layout to passively farm duct tape you can obviously go out and farm the materials from poi's and plants while your set up is going for more gains but it doesn't take long tbh
@jackdalad23 or ignore bones all together? And make glue with supercorn? Supercorn and cotton is the way to farm duct tape. Then water is the only bottle neck, which my fix is 8 dew collectors 🤣 I had all this on day 45, incase people want a gamestage reference
Don't waste your time farming cotton; it's too slow. You don't need "Farmer" armor either. Just put one or two points into "Living off the Land", and then go pick cotton plants in the wild. You'll have 100's of cotton to turn into cloth in a very short time. As for glue, forget about Super-Corn or making a "vulture-harvesting horde base". lol... Just harvest the animals, human corpses and road kill you find. You'll have 1000's of bones stock piled for turning into glue. The real hold-up on your duct tape production will be jars of boiled water. Use your available duct tape to keep making more Dew Collectors until you have steady stream of water collecting for your food and duct tape crafting.
the same goes for bonfires and cooking pots. Only having one or two would mean standing there waiting specially if you need to cook food and drinks, never throw the cooking pots that you can find away. Also the problem with dew collectors is not the tapes but scrap polymers, to find them keep an eye on tires on the road and some buildings, or use a wrench on ovens, fridges, coolers, microwaves and other house hold items. it takes 100 scrap polymers compared to the 4 duct tapes but it's only a minor inconvenience to look for them if you don't have any.
@@AngusKart true, but you'll need more than 7000 dukes for one water filter and it's only a minute or two to make water with 4 or more campfires and you'll need that to make glue fast anyways
You don't need the farmer helmet lol it only helps you find extra while looting. To save points use a fortitude chip when your farming to make it a little bit easier
Funny enough the only thing i never have enough to craft tape is cloth, due to the changes in armor/clothing. Before i would usually fill an entire storage with stacks of cloth from deconstructed clothing, now i need to be a cotton farmer
You can run missions, especially low tiers, to reset POIs and steal all the beds, couches, and clothes piles from the innocent citizens of navezgane. Cotton is easier, but imagine putting all your points and resources into living off the land and good farmers set early or even mid-game.
Wow. I'm sorry but this is a waste of time and effort. Cloth is everywhere. Drapes, Beds, tents, etc. The only time I ever mess with cotton is the first day. Second - bones are everywhere. Roadkill, medical POI's, random yards and graves, trailers in front of most traders, etc. You can amass 1000 or 1200 bones over just a day or two by collecting as you search for resources. I'd never go past two dew collectors, the heat signature is a Bat Signal to screamers. Farming is not the way to get glue IMO. FWIW, having a lower level set of Farmer Armor to wear when harvesting your plots is an efficient and inexpensive way to maximize resources. Normally I like your tips but this one is not so good. But hey! You do you! ;)
I myself never have issues with any of these things but I was seeing comments that duct tape was a choke point for some people. So I made a video showing those people how to farm it. As for screamers people really need to stop fearing them. Its exp brought to your doorstep. In my current playthrough I have 3 of them going 2 forges and a cement mixer running constantly. We get 2 about screamers a day. Its great.
@@Firespark81 I'm 50/50 on the increase in screamers. Sometimes they are a nuisance, especially early game. The duct tape issue IMO is only really experienced early game or by players not familiar with simple ways to overcome it. That was the basis of my comment -- creating a giant farm operation uses way too many resources when the new or early player can just collect bones, make a few dew collectors and set up a couple of pots to cook everything. It's good you're not filtering comments so less experienced players can see various ways to overcome early game hurdles. 👍
Harvest animals and Boil their bones. They are everywhere. often near wild cotton fields in the Forrest biome. much more efficient especially early game.
I kill any animal I see always and harvest and keep all their resources. I learned this early that glue is needed for so much. I miss being able to just make jars and melting snow for water water definitely became far more tedious with the dew collectors.
Cloth is far easier to get by ripping down curtains - hospital style blinds in particular give you 4 cloth each. Never, EVER, waste a farm plot on cloth.
You need way more cloth than what a hospital can get you. This is about a renewable, more autonomous, way of keeping cloth on hand for people who need a lot of it all the time.
Testing it to be sure would be a total pain. Would need to harvest no less than 100 with and without it on to get a vague idea if it's actually doing something but considering they both have the seed tag I would say better safe than sorry. They are not that expensive to make.
Does Farmer Hat only matter if I am looting containers or does it improve chance of dropping a seed when punching crops? Right now I just keep Chest and Boots in a box with seeds next to my farm.
hat has code that looks like it will give you chance for seeds when harvested. Why I recommend it. Just make t5 until you have a bunch of extra legendary kits.
Yeah, with the new farmer gear, you could farm cloth.....but its so easy to get it scrapping (oh and great Scrapping armor exists too!). Which with scrapping you get More materials, More Exp, and really dont have to wait, just travel place to place. Yeah you need to know what to scrap and where you likely to find it, but even when they had costs of 10 cloth, and jumped the cost of other things by times 10 (100 cost of cloth reciepes) I still can find more cloth then I will ever need, just by doing a little scrapping. AKA dont farm it guys, grow actual food at that point if you have the farm plots. Just learn how to scrap properly on objects and items, with a proper tool for scrapping, maybe ONE point into the skill and your set. Even with a 4x4 truck you will not have enough inventory space in it with all the Useful stuff scrapping gets you. You can target a row of POI's Tiers 1-3 and hit a dozen or so to fill up a your bike or truck and be set for a good bit on general supplies of crafting stuff. Tier 4 and 5 POI's are usually big enough that 1 or 2 of those will fill up your Truck and your inventory will all sorts of goodies. And before yous say but this does not focus your goal of said items, 70% of all your scarpped items SELL really well, so just use the merchants for fine tuning your needs or get that cool shiny stack of books/magazines you see in there. You get useful items, Tons of EXP, and more EXP when buying/selling while getting cool new items from the merchant with said money. Did I mention that brass coins used in game can be melted for bullet casing in the forge? Not to mention all the brass you looted from scrapping. Little bit of focused mining, and bam you have the ability if you need to mass produce ammo. If you want to mass produce duct tape your only true limiting factor is.....water. Farm that, dont skip the Murky water finds you see, and just keep a stack or two of bones around, and you will have all the items you need for duck tape with a little time brewing, and instead of waiting you can go scrapping while the water/glue cooks. 3,000 hours in this game....gods I have no life. PS: Super Corn is meh, ok, but really Bones are stack-able to 1200 in one stack. Easy to find, and yes hunting animals can get you bones, but every zombie animal also gives bones. Just keep a stack or 3 of bones around, and you will never need super corn really.
@@sepniphanie3849 omg, i thought everyone can see what he did... this uploader wasn't doing the full set bonus and the full set bonus doesn't even help with Farming either... Did I go crazy or something, feels like im the only person here actually reading what's going on, no offense
So, by the time that you have tier 5 gear and maxed out living off the land, you should be able to make enough glue. Just smash rotten corpses and animals for bones, collect murky water and demolish curtains, beds, couches(avoid the ones that JD Vance has used). Make glue with the bones and water, then duct tape with the glue. You can, pretty much, prepare for this from day one.
Agreed. Just collecting carcasses, and cloth in game, and checking for & picking up murky waters... you get plenty. It's worth doing some dew collectors with filters to avoid the outrageous boiling time on bulk amounts of murky water. But other than that? There's only 2 bottlenecks in the game, week 1 (possibly 2) depending on what POI's you're running, it's a little tight. And then again when you reach tier 6 in weapons, tools, & armor, and unlock fancier vehicles (all around the same time) you'll feel a tape, glue, & steel crunch (unless you've been planning ahead for it). And messing with birds on horde night is a waste of XP/minute on horde night. Just close the roof & use roof spikes until roof turrets are easy to buy. If you just _happen_ to be in fortitude as a primary, this approach is "an option" to avoid picking up cloth/murky/bones in POI's, which could help with inventory management. Or you could just pick the stuff up as you play, it all stacks really well. Maybe this makes sense on a really, _really_ crowded multiplayer server which has a lack of POI's per player? But a map would hit a book shortage long before a cloth/bones shortage. I usually play as a duo with my bf, and one of us will bring a wrench, while the other will be responsible for grabbing bones/murky, to divvy up the inventory woes a bit. Even with only one of 2 players focusing on it, there's _plenty_ just picking the stuff up. FireSpark really knows his stuff in some games, I am subbed. But from this and numerous other vids, it's pretty clear he's kind of a novice just messing around in creative mode in 7D2D. I could see it as an "option" for someone who's already planning to go 10/10 in fortitude though. Machine Gunner/Fists can be fun. Still hard to imagine planting cotton, it grows 'everywhere' in the newbie forest. And cloth is very _very_ abundant in POI's if you know what to hit. I've made a decision to just stop picking up cloth in a tier V POI because I already had four stacks of 250 _from that single POI_ and it was getting kinda silly in my inventory.
I love how people are like I don't have an issue so no one else should either. You do realize not everyone plays the game the same way or finds it as easy as others. I never have an issue with duct tape either but looking at the likes subs and views it looks like many do for some reason.
@@Firespark81 That's fair I suppose. Although this approach to duct tape is like 15-20 perk points and some gear... so it's a bit like buying a whole bakery to bake a cake. I'd say IF you're going into fortitude anyway, cuz you like fists/mach-guns, then this is "Ok-ish". If not... then it's kinda swallowing a whole zoo to catch the fly.
Also, not sure how you are playing but no. I never unlock better tools and vehicles at the same time. I can be in iron day 3 steel by the end of week 2. Takes me forever just to get a motorcycle. Calling me a novice is hilarious considering how easy I find the game and how the 2 playthroughs I'm on now 1 of which I am not allowed to craft I still have yet to die. The 7 days community cracks me up. Everyone acts as though their way of playing is the best and only way to play. Then when they don't agree with something they just cry only plays around in dev mode. Sure you can go out and smack cotton for hours in newbie forest. Or you can just build a 4x4 plot and have someone farm it and get twice as much in a fraction of the time without running around in the woods leaving you time to do other things. Ya know to each their own though. But living off the land and doing some real farming is very worth it in this game. It takes very little time or effort and the rewards speak for themselves.
@@Firespark81 That was me, not the original poster (the novice part). It was perhaps a bit harsh. But "this is how you do it" tutorials kinda invites criticism (compared to say "one overlooked option...").
All the children on here hating is crazy. Guys, we need to set up cloth/s-corn/dew farms because we are playing in groups and need tons of duct tape. a single dynamite is 2 duct tape which is over 10 cloth. Yes, you can loot it from blinds and beds but if youre playing on a more than 64 zombies per user server on loot stage 100 plus youre gonna need stacks on stacks of things that go boom! You hateful kids need to settle down.
I dont understand videos like this .....who are they for....make sure you have maxed out yada yada yada.....if im maxed out in anything i usually fairly high in other stuff and things arent really hard to come by.....post a farm of something in EARLY game not 100 hours in
Ya know, you can get everything you need but the armor by level 8 for just farming. 5 levels in fortitude, 3 levels in living off the land. Level 8 is something that can be done day 1-2. Depending on settings, it could be done as early as 15 minutes in game. Just some perspective…
Do you only do God mode videos? I don't God mode, been playing since .11 (no traders, no quests, cement needed to dry, etc) and i play insane level. i can only see your advice being best case examples. You don't address heat or how long it will take to gather resources to make any builds. I watched a video were you promoted underground bases but have you run into the new version of the screamers yet? Or the zombies that try and jump for ladders that are just out of reach? I'm happy you have a successful channel but please, make it absolutely clear that your advice is NOT for new players. Good luck in your future.
Jea i know.. but most of the times (we play in a group) im just base building and if i do quests with them i just do the killing.. most of the time i forgett about the cloth 😅😂
@@praisen45 Well, it works, so long as you're going 10/10 in fortitude anyway. I wouldn't go out of your way to try to "spec for duct tape" though hehe.
Not everyone likes to scrap m8 nor is it even necessary to do to play the game and get far. Some people like farming. I also think you neglect to realize how much cloth some play styles need. I have one where I for some reason can't get enough of it. Always seem to be running low. Then in my no crafting playthrough I just sell it all lol.
Farming in 1.0 is broken. Living off the Land still gives guarenteed 2/2.5/3 harvests depending on how much you bought up the perk. What is broken is it appears like seed gathering from harvesting has been removed. You need to be wearing the boots from the Farm armor to have a chance of gathering seeds while harvesting. This means farming without the armor is a losing proposition. Crafting a seed takes 5 crops and you get at most 3. The farm armor body/suit/outfit raises the amount of crops you get from harvesting, 1 per rank. [Which can't be right because I get about 7 super corn per swing so someone out there correct me on that, because by my math I should be getting 3+6 per swing and that does not happen.] So you need to get a reliable 6+ per harvest to have sustainable farming. Some people have said the farming hat is amazing. It raises the chance of you getting seeds while looting. I don't run it myself, but if you are serious about farming try it. As for using Super Corn to make glue... Super Corn is stupid high value to the trader. Like 50 dukes per cob valuable. A stack of 125 super corn sells for 6k. Just buy whatever you're trying to make. Early game focus on residential housing. Furniture breaks down into cloth, leather, wood and iron. You need all of that. Take out the curtains/blinds for cloth and plastic. Collect every random corpse for bones and rotten meat, you get more from cabinets and kitchens. Save the meat for farm plots and bones for glue and bone knife repairs. Toilets for murky water. Motels are great sources of cloth, especially once you have a wrench and you can take apart the beds. Get some dew collectors going, and prioritize buying the upgrades. Life becomes so much easier when they collectors start producing clean water.
you do NOT need the outfit. In fact, the bonuses from the outfit are so minimal its a waste of resources. You get seeds just fine without the armor, in spite of what the wall of text above claims You do need LotL maxxed tho, as usual. That will provide you with more than enough crops along with the normal seeds from harvesting to easily sustain farming.
Maxed out living off the land is definitely enough for farming, you have to use some of your harvested crops to make additional seeds but theres still plenty left.
Everyone all about the screamers. Why is everyone so scared of a few screamers. Its free exp people. It's like a mini horde night. Do you also log out every time its horde night?
Disagree on the dew collectors. 5 dew collectors roughly equals 2 campfires with infinite wood in them (on heatmap). and gives 30 clean waters (with mods) 2-3 times a day. Just cooking murky water into clean water generates just as much heat.
Dear firespeark i watched you alot since conan, This information is a matter in fact very useless, People want to see faster early progression and use case scenarios, For example people want a lot of meat you go to Bob's boars a tier 3 monument with a bunch of boars, stuff like that I think can really help if a player base in what they really are looking for not a mass production of endgame
It's a video about farming all the pieces of duct tape. It's not titled "easy early game infinite duct tape" I'm designing a base with farm, this is great for me
Nope, you don't get nearly the same amount of resources because you WILL 100% need to be crafting seeds. Will take you twice as long to do literally anything farming wise. Also its not like points are an issue unless you are playing on some challenge mode.
@@Firespark81 yes you have to craft some seeds but it is a net positive I have done it. It works so you don't have to wait or waste early points if you are not building in fortitude. I do it with an 22 crop row and I reseed and come out with around 90 cotton after replant. With 1 living off the land. So not best possible but totally do able
Really? You dont have a cloth enought? Really? Mean you so bad in the game bro. At day 30 (insane) i got about 10 stacks of 250 because it usefull to armor crafting at beginning. In the middle game you dont care about it so i sell it. No worthy to make even farm of a cotton hahahaha. Same with bones... bro its everywhere on the ground... Only glue is worthy to collect and care of these. * If you care more for birds than zombies RIP your base and defenses. Birds are 1 shot , so who cares about it. Just few spikes and base secure.
10 stacks of cloth is nothing man ur talking like 200 duct tape lol if u Wana get tier 6 everything ull need thousands of duct tape especially playing in groups
@@Leonaxiso bro its about the same game on pc now look at robotic turrets, rockets, dynamite etc if you wana make end game stuff you need 1000s of duct tape if you play with others even more we went through 3000 duct tape in my current playthrough easily.
@@Zak-jt6nk garbage you dont need 1000's of duct tape. i never have more than 100 duct tape and you dont need more than that. There are a zillions ways to get what you need in this game, especially now since its all changed and been made easier. You can mine tonnes of stone easy and sells stacks to traders till they max out and then use your coin to buy tape, glue whatever. It then resets again and you can resell more stone, or any stacks for good coin. Farming red bag llot drops from werewolves or demon bears at night through out waste land drops tonnes of gear to sell, dynamite,etc ..
Ha for this you just need to play the game for ages and then you can make ductape wich by that time should NOT I repeat NOT be a problem anymore... Just win the lottery first then you can start becomming rich... Ow and just a side note it needs to be a tier 6 lottery ticket whaha hahaha
Sorry about all the hate. I found this idea quite clever thank you
Hate is just part of the game. Is what it is.
The Wasteland Treasures book series (I think it's #6) also allow you to weave Grass into Cloth, which is a fairly easy way to get tons of cloth once you obtain the book.
People saying "i need to have max skills for this!? Lame!" Like bro you want an easier mode? Just turn it down to easy mode
I haven't had any issues with duct tape. Before I've even gotten a steady supply of water from dew collectors, I have boat loads from looting. Bones are so plentiful that by day 21 or so, I don't even go out of my way to harvest the dead animals anymore and I will usually leave any bones I find in kitchens unless I start running low again.
I know a lot of people will push getting their tier 1 quests done for the bike, but I just loot, mostly. Every 1 or 2 skull poi I see, I gut it completely. I smack cotton, rocks and branches everywhere I run to passively gather resources. I am just a straight up hoarder in the game.
I don't really understand the "controversies" that I see in the comments in this video.
Information in this sorts of games is key.
I am getting always low on cloth and i do a lot of scrapping so farming might be a good option. Being able to get insane amounts of bones in a night is a cool way to be less worried about them in the rest of the days and water will always be necessary so having more is always goed specially if you farm then start farming and want to cook some higher quality foods in higher quantities (so it kills 2/3 birds in one sitting)
The guy showed us a good way to get a lot of the materials necessary for duct tape.
What y'all expecting??
Even late game I find bones are better than super corn because of all the animals, birds, and gore piles you find everywhere. I've also never had to plant cotton because I harvest chairs, curtains, mattresses and get more than enough cotton. Mix that with the Wasteland Treasures book that lets you make cloth from Plant Fiber and you'll never have to worry about crops for cloth.
Very interesting idea on vulture spawn farming!
Get lots of water (check every toilet for murky water in POIs and make lots of dew collectors) and break down animals and body piles for bones. Then make glues. You can break down mattresses and even tents for cloth fragments to then make duct tapes. Usually tier 3-4 have checkpoint POIs where you can break down all tents for hundreds of cloth fragments.
IMO farming cotton isnt worth over other crops and too tedious to make cloth fragment as you need higher tiers of Living off the land and by the time you max out on the thing you'd have enough dukes to buy straight off traders
I don't get it why so many people get offensive about some alternative ideas on how to farm certain things. OK, planting cotton is not very innovative but it is just an example how to get an infinite source of cloth. I liked the vulture trap though.
And yes, both cloth and bones are easy to find in huge quantities, but knowledge doesn't hurt (or does it? some of the comments read like that...).
Hey man. Your video is actually good. One point of this is to actually start this process while you do things like growing crops and killing zombies and then building. Even getting the process going early game while collecting water from toilets and bones from anything really. If people want immediate results, do the duplication glitch with the personal vehicle and repeat that. Thank you for the time you put into this video. People dont understand how to take your video and apply it to their playthough in a creative way. They want you to tell them how to do it. Keep doing you.
These comments are ruthless lol. I'm a returning player and enjoying every single vid, keep pushing!!
Important tip, keep a cheap knife for harvesting. It’s much faster and less stamina intensive than punching the crops.
This is endgame when you already have everything. Just look for pois like hotels, theaters, clothing stores, etc... And break beds, sofas, clothing piles and anything that looks like it has cloth. Bonus points if you get a mission there and you can double dip on them.
For bones, just carry a knife and break every roadkill and cadaver you find while looting and you will be swimming in bones. If tou are desperate, go to the snow biome and hunt animals, you will not only get bones but also a ton of food.
I forgot to mention, if you can find yourself a military checkpoint, the tents are made of cloth, if you can double dip one of those you can get like 4 stacks of cloth easy. They also tend to have body bags that have a respectable amount of bones
@SergioPSC you do have valid points for this mate. But personally I've dived into farming on day 3. So not really end game.
Farmer Armour is so easy to craft and max "living off the land" only requires 7 perk points which is achievable on day 1.
So I am sorry to say I disagree
yeah, I don't ever need to "Farm" bones, just...poke corpses and carrion as you come across it. once you're far enough into the game, the snow and destroyed biome are SO active with animals, you can get literally thousands. [also the testosterone from bears is pretty valuable!
I've never really used steroids oddly enough.
@@grimsgraveyard3598 I find they can be handy. if you break your leg more often than you'd like steroids will help a lot, since they not only remove encumberance penalties, but they also remove most other penalties, like exacerbating injuries.
Good video, never seen a specialized way to gather these materials, it was fun. But for me this is super late game stuff or for a weird duct tape only run, or maybe playing as THE farmer in a big group.
The way I see it: You don't need a special structure, maxed out stats or gear for this. The only disadvantage for not doing it this way is the time you spend boiling the murky water (if you only have 1 bonfire) or if you are super far away from the forest biome. so it's not a big deal.
Bones: Like you said every time you go hunting you get bones from an animal, the bigger the animal the more bones, meat and other stuff, no need in investing perk for that. Not to mention you get bone drops in kitchens and harvesting corpses (the ones that are already dead).
Cotton to make cloth: Any cotton plants, they are everywhere in the forest biome, if you don't find one right away look for a red or yellow plants they are usually mixed in a group of those.
Water: make more than 1 dew collector and buy the gatherer and tarp for one of them first. Then 2 more of those for the other ones when you have the dukes.
It only takes a few min to purify the water from the dew collectors. A good way to speed it up is to have plenty of bonfires going to boil several bottles, so don't throw away your cooking pots. If you don't want to stand there and wait you can do that during the time you arrive at your base, brings in items and putting them in your crates, building something, looking at the perk tree, before you leave and so on. The water filter is too expensive, ( more than 7000 dukes) and might as well spend that money in books, better mods or more gatherers and tarps for the other dew collectors, but if you are swimming in dukes during late game, you are in a big group with lots of dukes or something like that then go for it.
Extra glue and duct tape: You'll find that during mission/looting places if you loot things, so it's good to pick those up.
Note that the upgrades for the dew collector available in the store depends on what stage your are in the game, you won't be needing much duct tape early on anyways so it's best to keep playing and check if they have it for sale when you'll eventually need it. Gatherer is in the traders inventory at game stage lvl 15, the tarp at stage lvl 26 and the water filter at game stage lvl 36.
Just wrench down cars for cloth and make glue at the chemi station with bones and water... It's really no big deal if you have any idea of this game.
5 dew collectors? This video should be titled "How to farm screamers"
that video is coming. People need to stop fearing them.
@@AngusKart I have 8 dew collectors. 5 forges and 10 workstations and only get 2 screamers every 3 hours ingame
if you have a good combo base, you shouldn't be scared of a few screamer hordes.
@guy13677 I find during hordes and after a screamer screams my base works fine.
But when screamers get to my base without seeing me. They start just hitting my 3 thick steel walls instead of trying my bridge.
I use vertically placed empty cylinders as a deterrent around my whole base. Base is also 30mx30m size wise. Lemme know if you have any suggestions mate
@@Firespark81 if you read my comment about my base mate, I would love to understand screamer pathing better
If you add a zombie dropper set up for zombies you could just farm birds all night. Also sitting on your bike in your horde base. Brilliant.
If you know where Bob's Boars is, you not only have access to supercorn, but to a renewable source of bones and meat every few days when the enemies respawn, because the boars respawn, too.
In future updates, I would like the fun pimps to look into water a bit more. It would be cool to craft boats for one. But maybe have underwater POIs, water zombies, and water creatures. Also, water purification. Why can’t we make electrical water pumps that purify water. Maybe even a hydroelectric system you can only use in rivers. Just some ideas.
Well, thanks for the late game tips. I figured you would have better early game information
Thank you for the video. If you hang around the first trader. For some reason I was getting animal spawns like crazy around it in the Forest. esp around the front of it. If your hurting for food. Hang around trader and it will come to you. LOL. Seems like they trying to go in and don't see it as a wall. Guess they think they can pass thru the walls.
You can also farm cloth by breaking all curtains in houses too !!
Isnt the super corn recipe in Carl's corn and bobs boars,you can grab it as soon as youre ready to break a 2500 point door, Kutgw
Spoiler alert: you can farm cloth by literally farming.
Yeah I grow cotton and harvest hundreds in the hills around my base since I always base in a POI in the Forest biome.
It's probably already been said, but farmer hat only increases the chance of finding seeds in loot (probably trash). It doesn't do anything for actual farming.
game changer 😂😂 day 25 and still no rain catcher bc i wasn't able to find duct tape
but with 300 glue and 600 rags in a chest
There use to be the ability to gather sand place in forge and make glass jars which you then simply scooped any water to get dirty water to boil for infinite water, you could also do the same with snow and glass jars...but dev's got rid of that about 3 alpha's ago to once again appease the newer plays who complained about easy water access. They also increased glue production requirements from bones and amde it so you needed purified water instead of dirty water.
Is Super Corn more readily available now? I haven't played in like 2-3 years (just having another go with V1.0 now), and back in the day if you were playing on a random seed you more or less had to scout the seed in a map viewer before you committed to it, to make sure it had a Bob's Boars POI in order to get the Super Corn (I can't recall ever seeing a trader selling either the corn or the seeds).
@jaxsonbateman Bob's boars and checkpoint 3 have guaranteed super corn seeds and recipes. You can get supercorn seeds in a farm bundle and the recipe from book shelves but that's not guaranteed.
loot bags can have it, and supply drop crates.
@@dandagerman6604 Ah, that's cool and a nice change.
I have about 60 supercorn (high game tier) and got multiple recipes for it, just from picking it up in loot.
I haven't actually used any of it though.
Interesting video - I feel like the bird trick for horde night is something a lot of people wouldn't know, but I'm curious how useful it actually is given that you have to wait 7 days between drinks, as well as sacrificing zombie spawns and potential xp + loot bags (though for someone like me that likes farming the extra flesh is a nice touch).
Corn, cotton and water being infinite via farming is really only something a brand spanking new player would need to be told though. 😅
there are a lot of very new players it seems. Also you will get so many bones from the birds you wont need to be doing it every single horde night. Like for real one horde night with 2 people and youll have more bones than you know what to do with. Even at 4 per glue.
@@Firespark81 Definitrly. Appreciate the content - and even for me, someone that's played before but only ever couple of years, finding out Super Corn is a lot more accessible these days was useful.
I could see it just for rotting flesh to make gumbo stew.
Otherwise, nah.
Ooooo infinite bones, that should hold me over til i get the super corn recipe, as for the screamers i always have a little box with some hatches for doors near my base, free xp bebe
Small tip for anyone trying to do the vulture farming base, specially if playing solo. Knife attack animation is much faster than harvest animation, so a way to harvest much faster is to aim next to the corpse instead of into the corpse. This will start the attack animation, then redirect the attack to the corpse to harvest it and again out of it before the next animation starts (so it's again an attack animation, otherwise it'll start the harvest one). It's a bit tricky at first and you need some practice to get the right tempo, but it will save you a lot of time and maybe your life of playing on higher game stages/difficulty levels/horde sizes.
I hate farming... I put one point into living off the land and plant whatever seeds I find just to have extra food.
But, the Vulture idea is AMAZING... that really is a great idea... I already run a double blade trap setup on the walkway to my fighting position anyway.
I do well with glue, water , bones and cloth... After I finish a POI, i cut apart ever bed, couch, chair and all the curtains and rugs. For bones I mainly just always pick them up. But I also farm the giant pig or the place with the two giant zombie bears... Red bags, plus plenty of hide, fat, and bones.
I havent passed by a coffee machine, a toilet, a drink cooler or a water dispenser since 1974... not one time! LOL
the boar farm is really good for bones and meat. Cloth does become a bit of a problem later on though.
the buff from tier 5 to 6 armor is huge! it should not be underestimated! loot ALL the clothing places for those legendary parts!
"It's so easy". You just need maxed out stats, high tier gear and blah blah blah. So sick of these types of videos.
Same. No value
U should play on creative mode it should be easy enough for u
Best thing to do is just farm dew collectors, keep an eye out for all cloth possible, and farm corpses and animals for bones. (Multiple campfires speeds up crafting, water will become your biggest bottle neck) Cotton, tents, beds, couches, curtains give cloth. (Keep an eye out for tires and big blue water barrels for polymer, pipe piles and toilets/sinks for pipes, and duct tape can be found anywhere, check garbage piles, cardboard boxes, and store shelfs) unfortunately you need duct tape to start the duct tape farm
If you want to farm it easy, big pois have alot of couches, chairs, beds, ect. Then just kill any animal you see.
You can find cotton in the wild and still turn it into cloth and find bones and water pretty easily after like day 10 idk what you want bro to tell you he just told you how to consistently get it not how to have it hand fed to you
I like going to the winter biome for animal products. That’s where a lot spawn in and they contrast the color of the snow so they’re easy to hunt. I suppose I only have 2 dew collectors but we keep a chest next to it and just horde more water than what we can drink. For cloth I just go do a quest and break stuff and perhaps do a double loot with the quest. Or I’ll craft using the skill I got for making cloth out of plant fibers. I’ve yet to do farming but I love farming games so maybe I’ll get into it, just hasn’t been necessary
Not a big fan of the cheese bases and stuff personally but it’s fun to watch these kinds of videos and see what others are up to. Thank you :)
The construction site with the fake screamer has a carpet roll in the attic portion of the garage. Breaking this down nets you around 200 cloth.
That's good info.
The hardest part about this process is obtaining a beaker. Comes down to luck.
Exactly this. My wife and I playing didnt get it until day 34 smdh. Even specd into the right perks
Glad I'm the Farmer in my game, and we know where Bob's Boars is to go fetch the supercorn and recipe 😁
I'll be sure to have a cotton and supercorn farm section in the base design
You get a lot of cloth from salvaging it doing trader quests. A good-sized POI can get you a 250 stack fairly easily.
Yea, to be honest with you I never really have issues with duct tape, cloth or glue but apparently people do as I made another video and got a ton of comments about how duct tape is a scarce and precious thing.
@@Firespark81 Yeah me either - always have great big amounts of cloth, glue, duct tape, things using duct tape.
@@Firespark81 I think newer players just dont know what to be on the lookout for and constantly harvesting to get plenty of bones and cloth.
Maybe not every one goes around just harvesting and looting every single thing they see like us loot goblins? Idk lol
its way easier just to farm the dead animal carcass on the roads, much easier
Interesting tip about a "vulture base". Thank you.
Water is the only one of these ingredients that's difficult to farm, considering the fact that more than 2 dew collectors will definitely spawn screamers every 5-10 minutes.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but the testing I've done, plus speaking with numerous people about it, has all but confirmed that the farmer gear does not stack with the "Living off the Land" skill. With "Living off the Land" maxxed, there is little to no change when you equip farmer gear. One or the other is helpful. Both is a waste of time and resources.
tier 6 farmer outfit gives only 1 extra crop per plant. It ignores any LotL bonus. Complete waste of resources.
It 100% will not spawn screamers every 5 to 10 min. We have 3 of them going along with 2 forges and we get about 2 per day that spawn at the same time. Also people need to stop fearing screamers. They really are not that big of a deal and they allow you to farm a bunch of exp.
As for the farmer gear just go look at the XML files. People have no idea what they are talking about. There is literally nothing in there that would prevent them from stacking and you can put the chest piece on and clearly see that you get an extra with every harvest.
@@Firespark81 It 100% does spawn them every 5-10 minutes, for me and at least 8 other people I play with. Usually in pairs, and up to 4 irradiated at a time. It's not fear. It's simply impractical when it happens while you're still using pipe guns or generally low level weapons. When you're at end game, it's not a problem, of course.
I don't care what the xml says. A single extra crop is hardly worth wasting resources on the armor, and the chance of getting an extra seed is so small it's not even noticeable. One point into "Living off the Land" is better than a full set of quality 6 farmer gear.
@@kraevgames By themselves (air quotes), 3 dew collectors won't spawn screamers every 5-10 minutes. But when you add some campfire, some forging, some cement mixers, some workbenching, some pre-electric base lighting... it adds up. In a base where I had 2 forges going full time, 1-2 campfires running much of the time, 2 cement mixers going about half the time, and 2 workbenches & a chem station each going about 1/4 of the time... Adding 4 modded out dew collectors did increase screamer hordes to about every 10 minutes. But I was getting them about every 20-25 minutes before the dew collectors.
If you look at the wiki for dew collectors, they're not the main source of heat. It's just that by the time you get them in game (in significant numbers) they put your heatmap over the top noticeably quicker. 5 dew collectors roughly equals 2 campfires with infinite wood. And literally cooking murky water 24/7 to make it clear water, will generate just as much heat if not more.
Not to come to FireSpark's rescue here, the dew collectors (and mods) are the _only_ part of this video I _would_ actually recommend.
@@kathrynck When I have 3 dew collectors, and absolutely nothing else happening, I get screamers every 5-10 minutes. So does everyone else on the server I use. So does everyone else I talk to regularly, even when they're playing solo. Maybe you all just play on easy mode.
Well, I agree with using dew collectors (with filters & other mods).
The heat they generate giving you clean water, is roughly on par with the heat you'd get cooking looted murky water. So the heatmap concerns are overblown.
5 dew collectors (with mods) generates heat about like 2 campfires running continuously, and outputs clean water only slightly slower, with much less fuss.
(I do get the 'feeling' that they increased their heatmap just recently though, probably needs fresh testing. not sure if it's just heatmap in general or just collectors)
The rest of this is pretty silly.
Unless you just _happen_ to be going Machine Gunner & Fists _anyway_ then it becomes "viable" but not necessarily recommended. I could see the SuperCorn if you were _already_ a farmer-build. I can't really see farming cotton though, even as a farmer perk build.
And I can't really see deliberately trying to get birds on horde night unless you just hate XP & loot. The main benefit of using roof turrets to get rid of birds on horde night, is that it gets rid of them _faster_ than spikes, which helps keep your zombie-spawn-rate up. One time (once, ever, in 1000's of in-game hours) early in a playthrough, I deliberately burned myself on a burning barrel, and ran around in the desert to get some birds, because I had a dire need for bones, rotting, and feathers (all three).
Lol, come here for the videos but end up staying cause the comments.
So I only need most of the farmer gear and knowledge to plants dozens of cotton and only need the traps unlocked with steel unlocked and electric unlocked and during a horde night sit on the bike then get off and farm the bones and kill the zombies and look after the repairs and back on the bike and repeat. This sounds too easy 😐
It honestly is easy the bones is honestly the least of your problems you can skip the bone farm I've never ran out of bones also glue not so much either. it's cloth I'm always running out of. This is just the best way to do it.
@@itoasterzz144 this video is probably the worst way to do it, but he was going for "infinite" no matter how crazy.
@@AngusKart I mean it's not the best but it has the layout to passively farm duct tape you can obviously go out and farm the materials from poi's and plants while your set up is going for more gains but it doesn't take long tbh
@jackdalad23 or ignore bones all together? And make glue with supercorn?
Supercorn and cotton is the way to farm duct tape. Then water is the only bottle neck, which my fix is 8 dew collectors 🤣
I had all this on day 45, incase people want a gamestage reference
If you scrap a bandage you will get 7 cloth fragments
Don't waste your time farming cotton; it's too slow. You don't need "Farmer" armor either. Just put one or two points into "Living off the Land", and then go pick cotton plants in the wild. You'll have 100's of cotton to turn into cloth in a very short time.
As for glue, forget about Super-Corn or making a "vulture-harvesting horde base". lol... Just harvest the animals, human corpses and road kill you find. You'll have 1000's of bones stock piled for turning into glue.
The real hold-up on your duct tape production will be jars of boiled water. Use your available duct tape to keep making more Dew Collectors until you have steady stream of water collecting for your food and duct tape crafting.
Best comment. This is how to do duct tape @KudosTheExecutioner
the same goes for bonfires and cooking pots. Only having one or two would mean standing there waiting specially if you need to cook food and drinks, never throw the cooking pots that you can find away. Also the problem with dew collectors is not the tapes but scrap polymers, to find them keep an eye on tires on the road and some buildings, or use a wrench on ovens, fridges, coolers, microwaves and other house hold items. it takes 100 scrap polymers compared to the 4 duct tapes but it's only a minor inconvenience to look for them if you don't have any.
@@UboaSan you really only need 2 dew collectors with all the mods and you will have plenty of water, no boiling.
@@AngusKart true, but you'll need more than 7000 dukes for one water filter and it's only a minute or two to make water with 4 or more campfires and you'll need that to make glue fast anyways
ooorrr just turn up loot and never have an issue with anything lmao.
You don't need the farmer helmet lol it only helps you find extra while looting. To save points use a fortitude chip when your farming to make it a little bit easier
Funny enough the only thing i never have enough to craft tape is cloth, due to the changes in armor/clothing. Before i would usually fill an entire storage with stacks of cloth from deconstructed clothing, now i need to be a cotton farmer
You can run missions, especially low tiers, to reset POIs and steal all the beds, couches, and clothes piles from the innocent citizens of navezgane. Cotton is easier, but imagine putting all your points and resources into living off the land and good farmers set early or even mid-game.
Thanks for the ideas bro.
Just normal looting and you'll have cloth coming out of your butt.
😂🤣🤣 Get on a bike on horde night to spawn less zombies? Good one.
Wow. I'm sorry but this is a waste of time and effort. Cloth is everywhere. Drapes, Beds, tents, etc. The only time I ever mess with cotton is the first day. Second - bones are everywhere. Roadkill, medical POI's, random yards and graves, trailers in front of most traders, etc. You can amass 1000 or 1200 bones over just a day or two by collecting as you search for resources. I'd never go past two dew collectors, the heat signature is a Bat Signal to screamers. Farming is not the way to get glue IMO. FWIW, having a lower level set of Farmer Armor to wear when harvesting your plots is an efficient and inexpensive way to maximize resources.
Normally I like your tips but this one is not so good. But hey! You do you! ;)
I myself never have issues with any of these things but I was seeing comments that duct tape was a choke point for some people. So I made a video showing those people how to farm it. As for screamers people really need to stop fearing them. Its exp brought to your doorstep. In my current playthrough I have 3 of them going 2 forges and a cement mixer running constantly. We get 2 about screamers a day. Its great.
@@Firespark81 I liked it. Basically how I already do it. Nice to know when your doing something right
@@Firespark81
I'm 50/50 on the increase in screamers. Sometimes they are a nuisance, especially early game. The duct tape issue IMO is only really experienced early game or by players not familiar with simple ways to overcome it. That was the basis of my comment -- creating a giant farm operation uses way too many resources when the new or early player can just collect bones, make a few dew collectors and set up a couple of pots to cook everything. It's good you're not filtering comments so less experienced players can see various ways to overcome early game hurdles. 👍
You must only be playing single player.
Doing this in a group is where farming like this is incredibly helpful.
Harvest animals and Boil their bones. They are everywhere. often near wild cotton fields in the Forrest biome. much more efficient especially early game.
I kill any animal I see always and harvest and keep all their resources. I learned this early that glue is needed for so much. I miss being able to just make jars and melting snow for water water definitely became far more tedious with the dew collectors.
96 plots of cotton, 15 upgraded dew collectors, and 40 plots of supercorn.
Don't forget the maxxed out farming suit. ;)
Cloth is far easier to get by ripping down curtains - hospital style blinds in particular give you 4 cloth each. Never, EVER, waste a farm plot on cloth.
You need way more cloth than what a hospital can get you. This is about a renewable, more autonomous, way of keeping cloth on hand for people who need a lot of it all the time.
@@jamescarter2212 Okay you continue growing cloth then ^^
What a great thumbnail ... hahah!😂
The farmer hat only increases how many seeds you find in loot. You don't need it.
I swear it affects your chance to get seeds when harvesting. I always seem to get more wearing it.
This is on the hat
This is on the plants
They both have the tag "seedskill"
@@Firespark81 RNG is a fickle mistress. 😂
Testing it to be sure would be a total pain. Would need to harvest no less than 100 with and without it on to get a vague idea if it's actually doing something but considering they both have the seed tag I would say better safe than sorry. They are not that expensive to make.
@@Firespark81 Sounds like it's time to harvest 1,000 plants with the hat and 1,000 plants without.
So conclusion, the big secret is playing the game 😂
Does Farmer Hat only matter if I am looting containers or does it improve chance of dropping a seed when punching crops? Right now I just keep Chest and Boots in a box with seeds next to my farm.
Hat is only for loot boxes
hat has code that looks like it will give you chance for seeds when harvested. Why I recommend it. Just make t5 until you have a bunch of extra legendary kits.
Yeah, with the new farmer gear, you could farm cloth.....but its so easy to get it scrapping (oh and great Scrapping armor exists too!).
Which with scrapping you get More materials, More Exp, and really dont have to wait, just travel place to place. Yeah you need to know what to scrap and where you likely to find it, but even when they had costs of 10 cloth, and jumped the cost of other things by times 10 (100 cost of cloth reciepes) I still can find more cloth then I will ever need, just by doing a little scrapping. AKA dont farm it guys, grow actual food at that point if you have the farm plots. Just learn how to scrap properly on objects and items, with a proper tool for scrapping, maybe ONE point into the skill and your set. Even with a 4x4 truck you will not have enough inventory space in it with all the Useful stuff scrapping gets you.
You can target a row of POI's Tiers 1-3 and hit a dozen or so to fill up a your bike or truck and be set for a good bit on general supplies of crafting stuff. Tier 4 and 5 POI's are usually big enough that 1 or 2 of those will fill up your Truck and your inventory will all sorts of goodies. And before yous say but this does not focus your goal of said items, 70% of all your scarpped items SELL really well, so just use the merchants for fine tuning your needs or get that cool shiny stack of books/magazines you see in there.
You get useful items, Tons of EXP, and more EXP when buying/selling while getting cool new items from the merchant with said money. Did I mention that brass coins used in game can be melted for bullet casing in the forge? Not to mention all the brass you looted from scrapping. Little bit of focused mining, and bam you have the ability if you need to mass produce ammo.
If you want to mass produce duct tape your only true limiting factor is.....water. Farm that, dont skip the Murky water finds you see, and just keep a stack or two of bones around, and you will have all the items you need for duck tape with a little time brewing, and instead of waiting you can go scrapping while the water/glue cooks. 3,000 hours in this game....gods I have no life.
PS: Super Corn is meh, ok, but really Bones are stack-able to 1200 in one stack. Easy to find, and yes hunting animals can get you bones, but every zombie animal also gives bones. Just keep a stack or 3 of bones around, and you will never need super corn really.
My cotton farm gets me 1028 cloth 🤣🤣 I'm on day 74 on console rn
And yeah I also have 16 max dew collectors ^ which I try to remember to harvest as they are on my roof of my 7 floor building
That's a lot of reason to NOT want to do this. Thanks!🤣
Id love to see a base design for days 14 - 70. These are the roughest patches for me and i cant overcome the hurdle.
The same one in the video I linked just upgraded. Make it all concrete and add in some traps. just watch out for them demos.
@@Firespark81 appreciate it. I'll check it out. Wish me luck.
farm glue and cloth fragments
As soon as I saw you riding on the bike I thought is he going to say ride the bike in a building? :P
They try to stop exploits and just make more. Its super funny
Is this due to the splints video comment about not wanting to use ducktape as its like gold dust? 😅
Yes and other comments on other videos. Apparently people can't get enough of the stuff. Although I never find it to be an issue myself lol
I tried to find all of the ducks to kill but could not find any. No gorillas for the glue either.
Good effort, I’ll kickstart the likes.
I recorded some on video tapes back when that was still a thing. Maybe you are interested in my duck-tapes?
Farmer helmet???? -> isn’t its perk designed to boost seeds from ‘loot’?
Yep
that's what I thought too! i tend to play with increased loot drops of everything and disable loot respawn so...I find I get plenty of seeds in loot.
Bro, the thumbnail tho. 💀
I thought the Farmers hat just increases chances of Seeds in Loot like garbage bags... why do you need it to farm crops?
If you want the bonus yes!
@@Lionsraws66 what?
@@JollywoodJoelfull set Bonus
@@sepniphanie3849 omg, i thought everyone can see what he did... this uploader wasn't doing the full set bonus and the full set bonus doesn't even help with Farming either...
Did I go crazy or something, feels like im the only person here actually reading what's going on, no offense
So, by the time that you have tier 5 gear and maxed out living off the land, you should be able to make enough glue.
Just smash rotten corpses and animals for bones, collect murky water and demolish curtains, beds, couches(avoid the ones that JD Vance has used).
Make glue with the bones and water, then duct tape with the glue.
You can, pretty much, prepare for this from day one.
Agreed.
Just collecting carcasses, and cloth in game, and checking for & picking up murky waters... you get plenty. It's worth doing some dew collectors with filters to avoid the outrageous boiling time on bulk amounts of murky water. But other than that?
There's only 2 bottlenecks in the game, week 1 (possibly 2) depending on what POI's you're running, it's a little tight. And then again when you reach tier 6 in weapons, tools, & armor, and unlock fancier vehicles (all around the same time) you'll feel a tape, glue, & steel crunch (unless you've been planning ahead for it).
And messing with birds on horde night is a waste of XP/minute on horde night. Just close the roof & use roof spikes until roof turrets are easy to buy.
If you just _happen_ to be in fortitude as a primary, this approach is "an option" to avoid picking up cloth/murky/bones in POI's, which could help with inventory management. Or you could just pick the stuff up as you play, it all stacks really well.
Maybe this makes sense on a really, _really_ crowded multiplayer server which has a lack of POI's per player? But a map would hit a book shortage long before a cloth/bones shortage.
I usually play as a duo with my bf, and one of us will bring a wrench, while the other will be responsible for grabbing bones/murky, to divvy up the inventory woes a bit. Even with only one of 2 players focusing on it, there's _plenty_ just picking the stuff up.
FireSpark really knows his stuff in some games, I am subbed. But from this and numerous other vids, it's pretty clear he's kind of a novice just messing around in creative mode in 7D2D.
I could see it as an "option" for someone who's already planning to go 10/10 in fortitude though. Machine Gunner/Fists can be fun. Still hard to imagine planting cotton, it grows 'everywhere' in the newbie forest. And cloth is very _very_ abundant in POI's if you know what to hit. I've made a decision to just stop picking up cloth in a tier V POI because I already had four stacks of 250 _from that single POI_ and it was getting kinda silly in my inventory.
I love how people are like I don't have an issue so no one else should either. You do realize not everyone plays the game the same way or finds it as easy as others. I never have an issue with duct tape either but looking at the likes subs and views it looks like many do for some reason.
@@Firespark81 That's fair I suppose.
Although this approach to duct tape is like 15-20 perk points and some gear... so it's a bit like buying a whole bakery to bake a cake.
I'd say IF you're going into fortitude anyway, cuz you like fists/mach-guns, then this is "Ok-ish". If not... then it's kinda swallowing a whole zoo to catch the fly.
Also, not sure how you are playing but no. I never unlock better tools and vehicles at the same time. I can be in iron day 3 steel by the end of week 2. Takes me forever just to get a motorcycle. Calling me a novice is hilarious considering how easy I find the game and how the 2 playthroughs I'm on now 1 of which I am not allowed to craft I still have yet to die.
The 7 days community cracks me up. Everyone acts as though their way of playing is the best and only way to play. Then when they don't agree with something they just cry only plays around in dev mode. Sure you can go out and smack cotton for hours in newbie forest. Or you can just build a 4x4 plot and have someone farm it and get twice as much in a fraction of the time without running around in the woods leaving you time to do other things. Ya know to each their own though. But living off the land and doing some real farming is very worth it in this game. It takes very little time or effort and the rewards speak for themselves.
@@Firespark81 That was me, not the original poster (the novice part). It was perhaps a bit harsh. But "this is how you do it" tutorials kinda invites criticism (compared to say "one overlooked option...").
It's cloth but every Poi has tons of cloth in them
Yea but you can't make a video about farming all the stuff that it takes to make duct tape without talking about farming cloth from cotton lol
All the children on here hating is crazy.
Guys, we need to set up cloth/s-corn/dew farms because we are playing in groups and need tons of duct tape. a single dynamite is 2 duct tape which is over 10 cloth. Yes, you can loot it from blinds and beds but if youre playing on a more than 64 zombies per user server on loot stage 100 plus youre gonna need stacks on stacks of things that go boom!
You hateful kids need to settle down.
I dont understand videos like this .....who are they for....make sure you have maxed out yada yada yada.....if im maxed out in anything i usually fairly high in other stuff and things arent really hard to come by.....post a farm of something in EARLY game not 100 hours in
Ya know, you can get everything you need but the armor by level 8 for just farming. 5 levels in fortitude, 3 levels in living off the land. Level 8 is something that can be done day 1-2. Depending on settings, it could be done as early as 15 minutes in game.
Just some perspective…
Well put. @@raze1286
Do you only do God mode videos? I don't God mode, been playing since .11 (no traders, no quests, cement needed to dry, etc) and i play insane level. i can only see your advice being best case examples. You don't address heat or how long it will take to gather resources to make any builds. I watched a video were you promoted underground bases but have you run into the new version of the screamers yet? Or the zombies that try and jump for ladders that are just out of reach? I'm happy you have a successful channel but please, make it absolutely clear that your advice is NOT for new players. Good luck in your future.
if you read no other comments here, DONT PLANT CLOTH, just SCRAP for it, if you dont know how, go learn how to scrap in the game.
im lazy so i plant it XD
I have a slight urge to say "play how you want" but cloth is really really common...
actually so are bones, and murky water...
Jea i know.. but most of the times (we play in a group) im just base building and if i do quests with them i just do the killing.. most of the time i forgett about the cloth 😅😂
@@praisen45 Well, it works, so long as you're going 10/10 in fortitude anyway. I wouldn't go out of your way to try to "spec for duct tape" though hehe.
Not everyone likes to scrap m8 nor is it even necessary to do to play the game and get far. Some people like farming. I also think you neglect to realize how much cloth some play styles need. I have one where I for some reason can't get enough of it. Always seem to be running low. Then in my no crafting playthrough I just sell it all lol.
Wait so you need a outfit to farm that is a bloody joke..
Farming in 1.0 is broken. Living off the Land still gives guarenteed 2/2.5/3 harvests depending on how much you bought up the perk. What is broken is it appears like seed gathering from harvesting has been removed. You need to be wearing the boots from the Farm armor to have a chance of gathering seeds while harvesting. This means farming without the armor is a losing proposition. Crafting a seed takes 5 crops and you get at most 3. The farm armor body/suit/outfit raises the amount of crops you get from harvesting, 1 per rank. [Which can't be right because I get about 7 super corn per swing so someone out there correct me on that, because by my math I should be getting 3+6 per swing and that does not happen.] So you need to get a reliable 6+ per harvest to have sustainable farming.
Some people have said the farming hat is amazing. It raises the chance of you getting seeds while looting. I don't run it myself, but if you are serious about farming try it.
As for using Super Corn to make glue... Super Corn is stupid high value to the trader. Like 50 dukes per cob valuable. A stack of 125 super corn sells for 6k. Just buy whatever you're trying to make.
Early game focus on residential housing. Furniture breaks down into cloth, leather, wood and iron. You need all of that. Take out the curtains/blinds for cloth and plastic. Collect every random corpse for bones and rotten meat, you get more from cabinets and kitchens. Save the meat for farm plots and bones for glue and bone knife repairs. Toilets for murky water. Motels are great sources of cloth, especially once you have a wrench and you can take apart the beds. Get some dew collectors going, and prioritize buying the upgrades. Life becomes so much easier when they collectors start producing clean water.
you do NOT need the outfit. In fact, the bonuses from the outfit are so minimal its a waste of resources.
You get seeds just fine without the armor, in spite of what the wall of text above claims
You do need LotL maxxed tho, as usual. That will provide you with more than enough crops along with the normal seeds from harvesting to easily sustain farming.
Maxed out living off the land is definitely enough for farming, you have to use some of your harvested crops to make additional seeds but theres still plenty left.
this is so elaborate and pointless . Gore blocks are EVERYWHERE! Running 5 dew collectors will also bring in lots of screamers .
Never knew collectors would affect spawns
how else are you suppose to get water if not dew?
@@Chadom. run 2 , with max mods . This will give you enough water for glue. Plus you get lots of murky water from looting .
Everyone all about the screamers. Why is everyone so scared of a few screamers. Its free exp people. It's like a mini horde night. Do you also log out every time its horde night?
Disagree on the dew collectors.
5 dew collectors roughly equals 2 campfires with infinite wood in them (on heatmap). and gives 30 clean waters (with mods) 2-3 times a day. Just cooking murky water into clean water generates just as much heat.
Dear firespeark i watched you alot since conan, This information is a matter in fact very useless, People want to see faster early progression and use case scenarios, For example people want a lot of meat you go to Bob's boars a tier 3 monument with a bunch of boars, stuff like that I think can really help if a player base in what they really are looking for not a mass production of endgame
The likes, views and subs say otherwise. But like with all videos not everyone is going to like it or find it helpful. Just is what it is.
“Matter of fact?” The was a subjective opinion dude. Useful info and ideas in this video.
It's a video about farming all the pieces of duct tape.
It's not titled "easy early game infinite duct tape"
I'm designing a base with farm, this is great for me
You said you need all of Living off the land. That is not true i do it fine with just 1 Living of the land and the 3 farmer armors you mentioned.
Nope, you don't get nearly the same amount of resources because you WILL 100% need to be crafting seeds. Will take you twice as long to do literally anything farming wise. Also its not like points are an issue unless you are playing on some challenge mode.
@@Firespark81 yes you have to craft some seeds but it is a net positive I have done it. It works so you don't have to wait or waste early points if you are not building in fortitude. I do it with an 22 crop row and I reseed and come out with around 90 cotton after replant. With 1 living off the land. So not best possible but totally do able
Never said it wasn't bet positive said you get a fraction of the resources.
Don't read the comments! You can thank me later.
Question is WHY? The premise of this game is survival !! What are his videos use for?
What are you even talking about? You mean not play the game? lol
Really? You dont have a cloth enought? Really? Mean you so bad in the game bro. At day 30 (insane) i got about 10 stacks of 250 because it usefull to armor crafting at beginning. In the middle game you dont care about it so i sell it. No worthy to make even farm of a cotton hahahaha. Same with bones... bro its everywhere on the ground... Only glue is worthy to collect and care of these. * If you care more for birds than zombies RIP your base and defenses. Birds are 1 shot , so who cares about it. Just few spikes and base secure.
10 stacks of cloth is nothing man ur talking like 200 duct tape lol if u Wana get tier 6 everything ull need thousands of duct tape especially playing in groups
@@Zak-jt6nk to take tier 6 you need 1000 ducktape🤣🤣🤣 wtf you definetelly never played the game or you play on pc and there always weird thing happen 🤣
@@Leonaxiso bro its about the same game on pc now look at robotic turrets, rockets, dynamite etc if you wana make end game stuff you need 1000s of duct tape if you play with others even more we went through 3000 duct tape in my current playthrough easily.
@@Zak-jt6nk garbage you dont need 1000's of duct tape. i never have more than 100 duct tape and you dont need more than that. There are a zillions ways to get what you need in this game, especially now since its all changed and been made easier. You can mine tonnes of stone easy and sells stacks to traders till they max out and then use your coin to buy tape, glue whatever. It then resets again and you can resell more stone, or any stacks for good coin. Farming red bag llot drops from werewolves or demon bears at night through out waste land drops tonnes of gear to sell, dynamite,etc ..
