Scum 1.0 New game thread

Hey all , the previous SCUM posts i found were from years ago , ( apologies if i've missed a newer one ) so thought i would make a new one.

I am downloading it as we speak. There has been changes and lots of people jumping ( no pun intended IYKYK ) into it.

Who's playing it and how are you getting on with it ?

Many thanks.

Not been on it for a while. Paid for my own server for friends but as there was no end goal or 'missions' it got boring quite quickly once we had kitted out with good stuff.
Walking simulator was a good description as working vehicles were really hard to find, spent several sessions carrying wheels and fuel back and forth.

Now we can create it own servers and they've added roaming NPCs we might get been into it.

Just installed this to give it a try,

Any suggestions for a complete noob to the game?

Water is your friend.
Don't run unless you have to.
You can level all stats except Intelligence (unless that's changed, so set it at 4 to unlock all the item creation options).
Chop zombies up and turn their bones into sewing needles,
Mechs give you a chance to surrender, remember the key for emote or run like something runny.
Clean rags are important.
Always have a knife and a melee weapon.

Have they sorted the puppets out does anyone know? Last time I attempted to play they were jumping out of nowhere in masses. A lot of peeps at the time were moaning about it.

From what I understand, yes.
Although I haven't actually tried it for myself as I was too focused on crafting at base and let the others do the exploring when they changed it originally.
