You have to build actual housing to get your population happiness up. I watch another TH-cam guy who plays this. It's what he had to do. You did right with advanced woodworking. But you need it for actual housing not a shelter. Once they get housing happiness will skyrocket
If you can bother with the micro, horde madness at night just hop out of vehicles and scoot n shoot since theres a pretty big accuracy debuff firing from vehicles. Barbed wire is also pretty amazing in slowing down the horde whilst doing good damage if youve got an excess of steel
I haven't looked to see if they changed the steel cost of barbed wire but it was exorbitant pre release of the game ike 5 steel per thing of wire. In places with ALOT of metal it wouldn't be bad but other places sounds like a bad idea.
I played this map and all the hordes were coming in though the northern gate, as soon as I put a gate and walls at the gap though the hordes started coming for the western walls, they destroyed so much I restarted.
you can send a squad to fix and retrieve the car. just do it wen it is safe. take a squad then split the squad. use 1 squad to fix and the other to guard. it drives very slow cause the car will only fix to 10% (just click squad and right click on car to fix..)
@@KnightOps-KO yvw! just becareful, that u do not kill the squad u send. kill the infected first, then split the squad. and try not to move in the area. i went to drive out 1 squad while the other fixed the car and triggered another horde.... :)
Love your content! Greetings from Singapore, and thanks to you, I’ve picked up the game! It’s a little buggy and difficult occasionally but it’s a blast so far!
Not sure if you know but they fixed the bug with chain commands. You can order your scouts to search multiple buildings and they will. They just jump from one building to the next. And I would consider reporting that the words walk through those fort walls. That makes it rough for you to use existing walls
TBH its usually faster to fix it yourself especially if its a map you really like & a popular map for others. It doesn't take too long to get the hang of the editor. You edit the one bit that's broken, upload to the Workshop, and you're good to g9
@@KnightOps-KO Ya, once you get the house done, a tower on the north west bastion would certainly help with picking the infected off. Of course it might draw them in, but I’m confident you could manage.
I wonder now that you’ve played some more of a better tactic would have been to leave the west “approach” open to draw the infected towards it and put 4 towers in a semicircle to cut them down. Instead of them randomly attacking the walls
i've helped the militarily. once it went off with out a problem, they then offered assistance witch btw never shows up in time to actually help with hoards when i tried to use it. the second time the solider wanted to stay and the major got but hurt and attacked me. the next time i offered supplies in compensation for his men and they bugged out and never left the map. stayed as a yellow truck out side my one gate never doing anything. the next time i just attacked em and used em as a means to thin my population cus i was having food issues.
btw i got the chance to call for help after their second mission? helping one of their squads that showed up to heal and sent them back. i didn't get the option to call for back up if the people stayed and i paid them off in food.@@KnightOps-KO
i saw in some one else video the army left a truck after they responded to a request for help. I got the ability to call for help after their second mission of helping heal their soldiers and sending them back with volunteers. I can't say i can confirm it when i called for help they showed up late did nothing and then left again. @@KnightOps-KO
The military could have at least gave some of their trucks to you, they probably have more to spare at their disposal but instead they decided to be cheapskates 😂😂😂😂😂
Don't know what you went for in the end, (am working my way through your videos) but paperspace is pretty darn reasonable for renting graphics card VMs. You can create a template once you've installed your tools etc, then you just pay a tiny storage fee (like fractions of a cent per GB) and spin up the hardware as and when you need it.
If you are still looking for ideas for the next playthrough (which might be in a while, you are doing well so far), I'd like to see you give Venice a try. Would probably be somewhat challenging to navigate without boats.
i played fort monroe too. But then every buildings got cleared/scavenged and left me with depleting food supplies. Tried to build farms and barns, but food production is too slow to catch up with my population of 150s (not to mention about winter time which disrupt food production). Any tips on how many barns, cookhouses, farms to be built to get self-sufficient food supplies? Thanks!
Idk if it was recent when you tried but at least on the experimental version of the game they seem to have buffed farms and cook houses to produce a bit faster. The only issue is late game and not having wood but they said the next big update will have renewable wood sources.
SO whats the difference in the new colors on the icons? Is it just to be easier to identify what resource it is or does it indicate how many of said resource there is?
Yo man quick question. What are you saving the building, between HQ, Science Building, and the Antena, for? I've noticed you take over every other building except that one. Did you miss it or do you have a plan for it? Have a Great one!!!!
i looked backed at your Washington episode your base finished the house and went to happy before your weather channel did. i've figured out having actually housing and eating meals increase happiness tiers.
To my knowledge, the Weather Station does not give any sort of boot to morale/mood. If everyone is in a house, or houses, then that is a +40% boost, which can mostly offset all the debuffs from weather/cold.
@@KnightOps-KO I remember when it happened during the video "When They Come - Infection Free Zone Very Hard - 03." If you look at 37:01, the house finishes and your people's mood changes instantly from "Dissatisfied" to "Happy." That is due to the +40% buff. The Weather Station did not finish building until 38:07.
Bro you cant send an expedition with just one vehicle it is paramount to suicide. Two at least and any AK's or especially shotguns since the game treats it as a CQC brawl in a vehicle
@KnightOps-KO The damage is insanely good the closer the targets get and a higher ROF than sniper rifles but without the penetration. Best weapon inside buildings
But something ima try in the future is get enough housing for the boost and then try and go for bigger housing and see how much of a difference it makes early game.
Hope you guys enjoy the video! ❤ stay awesome, homies!!!
Hey knight ops are u able to look for vehicles while on expeditions was wondering bc I feel like it would make your situation more easier
@Ghost34344 as far as I know you can't find cars on expeditions atm.
Alrt they really should add it to the game it would help a lot. I have only got 1 car in my new save

Currently using shadow pc but I've been having so many issues with it will def look into paper space
Bro build some barns It'll solve the food and happiness issue
Your videos don't disappoint =]

Totally agree
Hopefully we get to see some weapon crafting this playthrough, nothing better than squads of armed veterans using more than just pistols.
Oh yea this fort gets armed to the teeth 😂

cool

How does the gun buildings spawns. Is it by random chance or based by location.
Normally if it has something to do with guns and maybe little random not 100% sure.
Could you put this run in a separate Playlist?

Is this Available on mobile phone the wishlist game
I wish there was a version of this game on mobile but it isnt sadly.
started playing on the beta since you suggested it and am i still doing something wrong i don't seem to get any bonus from the weather station.
Yea I'm not sure how it's going either 🤔 bc I think mines bugged when I built it I don't think it was giving me the buffs.

you need shelters, your maxed of shelters. thats why there mood is bad

Yeaaa 😂
if shelter and housing gives you most happiness, why do you keep postponing building it?
I normally try to make 1 big house but the resource cost is normally higher so takes a bit longer to collect said resources.
