You should write a guide on how to pwn die2nite

Firstly it depends on 2 factors, both of which are random and unlikely…

1. Don’t randomly land in a town full of retards

2. Have those non-retards some how manage to communicate building plans, scavenging needs, etc.

After that, tips for lasting a long time include:

1. Upgrade watchtower/searchtower first. Build the workshop first, yes, but VOTE ON THE PROJECT upgrades for watchtower/searchtower first. You will save more AP NOT rescuing people who walked into zombie hordes, than you ever will save on AP costs for constrution being cheaper cuz of w.shop upgrades

2. After building the workshop, don’t convert ANYTHING other than what you need to build the factory. Then build the factory.

3. Build the pump on day 2 if you can. Why? So you can build water filtration on day 3, and the VEGETABLE PLOT ON DAY 4 or 5! – This nets your town 4-8 foods per day. Melons (7AP unconverted) and Suspicious Vegs (6AP). Add in a hero with a kitchen and you can turn up to 3 of those vegs into tasty dishes per day. THIS IS VITAL TO HELPING STAVE OFF WATER USE AS WELL AS HAVING ENOUGH AP TO BUILD MEGA PROJECTS LIKE FALSE TOWN, ETC.

4. Have people post their time zones/times available – this better organizes expeditions. If everyone can’t move together, then people will get stuck, and you will lose people for no reason other than poor communication of time.

5. Get lucky with zombie attack spikes.

Some people say zombies spike with the defensive boosts in your town.

Some say they spike depending on how aggresive you are with them in the world beyond (i.e. if you kill 15 zombies outside, more will come that night.)

I don’t really buy either of those, but whatever.
