Yeah that was pretty fun. I should have spent more time making bullets. (The bottleneck was actually the time it takes to make the casings.) Surprises were that I ran out of bullets and that my AK-47 broke (I had repaired it to full before the fight, too). We had a nice little kill zone on the front porch at first, with junk turrets being just good enough to cover you while you reload, but once that turret ran out of ammo things started to go downhill.

We need a better fighting position than a random house, though. Maybe claim a structure to get started and then work on building a fort next door? After dying or running out of ammo it was hard to get back into the house to get anything without dying.

It wasn't hard to get 1000s of all required materials for ammo, though. I turned into a miner. Any time you find a node above ground, dig under it and the node should keep going. I suggest marking your holes with a vertical column outside and/or a waypoint if it seems to keep going after you're ready to stop digging for the day. You'll want a metal pick and any sort of shovel (and plenty of food and water). If XP is turned up we could consider turning it back down because once you find an activity to get into, you can really wrack up the XP fast and someone was saying zombie difficulty is based on your level.
