My advice for those struggling with this game is to start strong. If the map generated on the first day is terrible (no labs or malls/stores nearby, only offices/warehouses/graveyards nearby, not enough useful survivors) then restart until the condition favors you. The game would be much more enjoyable with a "lucky" environment, trust me:)
The scary thing about playing this game is when you see 3 different guns (+ a bag of clothes) burst out of a zombie's backpack and go "Oh cool, more guns." like the whole thing makes sense.
ConArtist, I really think you should fix what was mentioned by Flaxel. It's really annoying to have nothing to show for your hard effort just because of a disconnection.
someone help me out, i cant get the lost in space achievement. What do I do with all the extra things in the workshop? deaglecrits, did you try clicking on the crystal behind the doctor? It worked for me after I click there.
