With Random Gen you can loot MANY more POI's run missions WAY faster bc the POI's aren't all spread out if you set up next to a trader, in a settlement. I just wanted to post about it because it really hadn't occurred to me until now that perhaps the game wasn't balanced around Random Gen. It's hard and I am having to work to get anywhere. But maybe it's all balanced for Navezgane. I've been critical about the trader rewards, water and the magazines. It's now halfway through day 7 and I am taking a break posting this. I head over next to the snow and loot a few houses which finally net me the workbench and bacon and eggs, I also get my stone tools to tier 5 so yay :) Head back to the house and cook ALLLLLLLL the meat and eggs I have stored, take all my dukes ( I have 3 water left at this point and I am getting worried) and I buy 3 dew collector water filters, make them and stick them on my roof. So I pound out a few more quests and finally get the bike. Gonna have to do a loot run so I can get enough mag's to make bacon and eggs bc cooking meat on the grill is a horrible waste. After a few quests (which I was lucky and got water with as a reward) and a about another 30ish trees some rocks and clay and I have my horde base built. So a runnin' I go lootin nests and killin anything that moves. But I console myself with the notion that if I just tough it out I'll get a Bike and then it will get more fun. Trader Joel's quests are all a 500+ away. Decided to build across the street from Joel.ģ0ish tree's later I am look at my starter base. So I went back to Diersville, grabbed what I could carry and headed to Joel to turn in my trader quest. At this point I pretty much decided that Joel is gonna have to be the way. Anyway, few zombie dogs and wounds later I found her. Figured TFP would have spaced they traders out. At the time I didn't know where she was and was basically looking in logical places. Once I had acquired some I headed out to find Jen. Looted all the houses to try and find a pot&grill and some water/food. So I went ahead and headed to Diersville.

I went in blind, ran over to my usual spot next to Trader Jen and she's gone :P Apparently she was moved into the burned biome. Not gonna lie.it's very challenging starting out. So I decided to try out the Navezgane Map since I had read they changed some of it.
