- Welcome to Shojiki Gaming!
Let's scare ourselves witless in some 7 Days to Die! Now that Version 1 Experimental has released, it's time for us to gear up and take on the zombie apocalypse in a brand new Let's Play series on INSANE difficulty!
In this episode, the wrench and workbench are finally within our grasp as we start looking towards the future and begin thinking about where we want to call home. Which armour is the best all-rounder? Is it better to buy or craft bullets? And how much coffee does Paul need to stay focused? Find out next...
If you find yourself getting hungry and thirsty too much don't forget about the Iron Gut perk, it can help a lot.
Yeah, every time i see that perk, i think "should i put another point in it?" 😅 I'm hoping once our "final" base is established and we have plenty of dew collectors/farm plots, we'll be ok, but i'll keep it in the back of my mind in case we get desperate (again).
Yes, your loot stage will go up as you move through the successively harder biomes, from forest, burnt forest, desert, snow, then wasteland.
Ah good to know! I've also just realised i kept calling the burnt forest the wasteland, which of course is another biome altogether! 😅
Also, I guess a thought of mine on the matter... Making higher level of the more expensive tools or weapons seems a bit like a waste, when improving them by just one level. The difference seems quite miniscule, though I do understand that seeing higher numbers makes brainium happy.
And one more thing, which I can't get enough... I absolutely love the new design of the bike, it's just so damn good. Just driving on a dirt road with this bad boy feels amazing... Ahh, absolutely love. It.
I haven't actually crunched the numbers on the difference between 1 tier to the next so i don't know how much of an improvement there is. But you're right, knowing i've got the best tool level i can have at the time certainly helps with those endorphins! 🤣
Agreed, the new bike model is awesome! And it has brakes now! 😁
Pummel Pete does govern clubs and bats, so were correct putting a point into it.
Ah good to know. I was flipping and flopping on that one, despite people advising me previously, so i'm glad we got the points in the right place in the end! 😅
Try to combine pipe machinegun whit the mag extender for more ammo. Try to cook meat and eggs , try to find meat from dogs you are so afraid of (unless on the you version doesn't have that , don't know why my is the old one) also boiled meat -gives you HP and WATER...
if you stone axe newsstands you get like 2 mechanical parts or something. not mailboxes.
I recall this being mentioned before. Not sure if we've seen any newsstands yet, but will keep an eye out! 😊
Using the wrench gives you better stuff, some things like furniture aren't worth wrenching early on except the leather office chairs they give mechanical parts. Home appliances are great for wrenching too. When in doubt wrench it out!
Got it, use wrench on literally everything! 😁
@@ShojikiGaming its also a great money maker.
I have mixed and matched my armour and it seems to work for me using clubs. Heavy armour for outfit and head then Preacher gloves for increased damage and Enforcer shoes for speed. Not sure where best place is for a base but needs to be close to a trader.
because 1.0 is so traders and quests oriented: definitely as close to a trader as possible. You save lots of time running to trader and back.
I'm thinking this may be the way i go too. I know armour can give set bonuses, but if individual parts help us focus on the skills we want to use, it may make sense to do that!
The general consensus is to build a base near a trader, so i think that will be our aim. Trader Rekt can take a flying leap though, and since we've yet to meet the other traders, we'll settle near the lovely Jen 😁
@@ShojikiGaming do not invest too much into your base; burned, desert and cold biomes are just fillers now to artificially extend your play. once you find wasteland big town = this is the place you want to settle asap. Difficulty isnt that bad; instead of doing tier 3-4 in wasteland you'll do tiers 1-2 to gear better. thats all.
@@yvels3685 I like the sound of a big town! That's our end game goal then! 😁
IMHO assassin set is the goat especially once you get it legendary. I can creep entire tier 6 infested POIs with no issues. But my main recommendation would be preacher gloves. They are bis with their increase to damage against undead.
So far i haven't been approaching things particularly stealthy, but that may change in the future. However, your tip about the preacher gloves has been noted. I can see that really helping us at the moment, so thankyou!!
@ShojikiGaming ill just say my wife used to play the Unga bunga smash everything and carry a big gun. Once we started playing insane difficulty she learned the wisdom of stealth and is now a ninja like me lol
@@gravdigr27 Definitely noted. At the very least, if i dont do a stealthy approach on this playthrough, maybe that's something we can look at for the next one! 😁
@shojiki try do a bunch of quest for the trader and loot the quest area before accepting the exclamation marker at the quest area.remember to always leave ur bicycle outside for quick convenience as zombies dont attack them unless it constricts their pathing to you so vehicles are safe if used properly.collect as much dukes(gold coins) as possible up to 6k because all the mods for your rain catchers (6 so far) would be roughly around 13k or 6.3k for 1 rain catcher.you can always make this cheaper by the "better barter" skill.daring adventurer is great if you wanted to rush quests and get more loot as payment from the trader and better drop rates in poi's
robotics is best for intel builds as the sledge is a usable close range "hammer like turret" and if maxed can use 2 and the other turret can be used like a gun or a placed turret with up to 12 block range that shoots z's and covers your rear or front as basically a support character would in an rpg.
also if you ever get a discord channel going and ever need live in game tips and tricks? ill join it and share all i know with you.
Thanks for all the tips Crispy! I do keep meaning to double dip POIs, but since i'm always rushing to get to the next thing, i either forget or worry i'm wasting too much time. The next vid will focus on trader quests though, so we'll try an remember to do this before starting each one! 😁
I definitely want to investigate the robotics skills more in the future as i love the idea of having a little support buddy! 😍
Discord server will be coming at some point. Starting to get into a good flow with releasing videos now, so just need to do a bit of reading up on how to get a Discord server going and i'll let you all know! 😊
@@mcrispywerewolf for a youtuber discord channel is a total waste of time. content is where money is.
@@ShojikiGaming dont do double dips, from a content standpoint its repetitive and boring. if its a crack a book: DO IT most definitely. haha
Hahahaha! Thanks, Paul!
No problem! 😂 I had no idea eggs dropped as frequently as they do, so this will now be my main source of sustenance until we get a working farm on the go! 😁
@@ShojikiGaming little tip: if you open nest then ESC, then destroy it with an axe, then loot it: you'll get 3-4 feathers more PER nest. cheers.
@@yvels3685 Oooh that's interesting. And makes perfect sense, since i guess you would find a few extra feathers in amongst all the other bits the bird built the nest with! 😁
@@ShojikiGaming it works too with many open and POUF containers. thats up to you to figure out if what you'll get is worth your time doing it. When you'll do infested quests; definitely wrench infested container. Open it, leave something inside. wrench it then loot. I
Personally I dislike Navezgane map a lot. Everything is spaced and you have to spend unholy time just moving around. For your base: definitely as close to a trader as possible. You save lots of time running to trader and back. Maybe something on the green patch of grass near Jen for a while? Birds chirping and all haha. Why would you buy ammo from traders? thats just crazy expensive. save ammo and do melee as much as possible. Best value for money is to buy casings and bullet tips. also cobblestone is dirt cheap; you should never skip on those. You NEVER skip on fetch quests: its crazy fast to just grab satchel and maybe endloot if easy and just bail. by looking at satchel distance on top-right corner you can approximate where's satchel located; same for elevation. Game gives you an easy here: just take it. Sure, you wont get as much dukes but you will get quest reward and will progress faster; reward for time spent: fetch quests are no1 on my list. Also, ALWAYS go though traders quests; all tiers; if you see anything related to Crack-a-Book: you take it right away. Theres some POIs thats also filled with books; should keep names of those POIs in your little book of yours.; maybe mark where's end loot at too. For your skill points: Parkour 2 ASAP! You will also have to decide what gun should compliment your playstyle. Easiest would be Boomstick because youre already quite advanced in strength. Healing factor is the worst. Youre using your hunger to heal. cheers.
BIG TIP: cigar gives you +1 strength and you can also get +1 strength head armor mod. So you dont have to level strength to 10/10 but only 8/10 and still have highest 5/5 skill in Pummel Pete and other strength attributes. So at soon as you see cigar at trader or strength mod: you drop everything and buy it!
Some really useful info here, thanks mate! Yep i think in the green, as near to Jen as possible, will be our location for our base. I'd like to take over a POI for a home base and then look at building a horde base not too far away.
Good shout on the Crack-A-Book too. Never occurred to me to check the locations of all quests before taking one!
I think Parkour 2 is definitely high on the priority list now. Anything that helps us bail when things get desperate is good in my book!
Interesting to know about the cigar. Is that a permanent item you equip then, or does it just give temporary strength boost when you smoke it? May have to look into that! 😏
🚬
@@ShojikiGaming cigar is a mod now in 1.0. You can consider a different headpiece with different mods in them for your needs for a while. Cigar also gives you 10% bartering with trader. I had a cowboy hat that had default bartering, I added cigar to it so for a while, while wearing that hat, I had 16% bartering with trader.
2 bases from a content standpoint: bad idea. what are you even defending? a couple of blocks? whats the point? Its considered a way to cheese the game. People appreciate much more when states are high. +you will definitely forget some stuff to build, ammo, meds etc.. you'll have to go back and forth. its more of an annoyance.
Another big plus to have both bases: crafting and horde together: at some point you WILL spawn screamers randomly at your crafting base. You'll need some kind of "horde base extension" to your crafting base to manage screamer threat (screamers can now spawn other screamers btw so if you dont kill screamers fast enough youll endup with a full blown max zombies horde!) . Yeah in 1.0 managing two separate bases is a headache.
@@ShojikiGaming TIP: place land claim block 1st! so you know where you can build and place your stuff for future removal! trader compound extends a bit more that trader walls.
@@yvels3685 Ah ok, that's a good take on base theory! Ultimately i'd plan to have good defence on both bases, with the horde base just being somewhere we can break out to on especially rough nights.
But until we get to that point, it's hard to judge just how time consuming/resource costly this would be. I like learning from my mistakes, so i'll take what you said in mind when we get to that stage! 😄
Thanks for the clarification on the cigar too. Can't remember if we can make one yet, but i'll check next video!
@@yvels3685 Good advice! Will take that into consideration when we find our new home! 😁
Each piece of armor has a different perk, take some time and read all the different pieces before you decide.
Yeah another subscriber mentioned this, so will have to take some time and look at all the perks they give. Set bonuses be damned! 😁
Great episode. Out of curiosity, how bad is it at night? Would you be able to make it through the night at your level? Any advantages to attempting night runs?
in 1.0 stealth is VERY OP is youre specced into it and have a 4 pieces clothing set but its mostly mid-end game tbh. stealth + knife at nights with books etc is crazy. not at his level tho.. sure you can take chances but he's nowhere ready for that; better to hide in a closet and cry till 4am :) (been there, done that haha... especially on insane permadeath on low levels)
@@yvels3685 thanks for this! I've just started watching videos on the game so I'm only a partial newb once the game comes out on PS5! Leaning so much fun these videos as well as the comments section!
@@Gamingwithdistractions JaWoodle 1.0 series are really good (guy australian so his voice is a bit of get used to, definitely watch his latest 1.0 episode at about 24min28secs be aware you might pee yourself laughing), Pseudo Posse for base building secrets, Guns, Nerds, and Steel 1.0 series are amazing for quality build and editing. Cheers.
Yet another great episode. I absolutely adore wrench and its later upgrades. An extremely satisfying tool to use.
Another small piece of advice. Make sure to either use a smaller amount of fuel or to "turn off" the fire, when you aren't cooking anything. While it's not that much of a deal later in the game, seeing you leave 60 pieces of wood burning after using them to get one glue was... Well, it was kinda funny.
Also, got your email, gotta say, didn't expect a response, but it is highly appreciated. Definitely a nice thing to do.
Well, looking forward to more videos of yours, they are very entertaining, that's for sure.
I am a complete wuss when it comes to night time in this game. Honestly, we'd probably be ok on a normal non horde night, providing we didn't aggro too many zombies. It's only because they run at night that scares me! 😅 That being said, i would like to try out a night time raid on a POI, so maybe that's something we'll look at doing once we've gotten some better armour and lots of bullets!
