focus in this order
find sewing kits and broken gas masks this will allow you to access more of the zone without fear of dying from rads (ps. rads in this game kill you fast AF past 66%)
necessary for the more complex crafting (no duh) need for high lvl energy storage and solar power, wind power, and the mighty exosuit.
>while doing this bring back as many car batteries as you can in the mean time once you have a array of car batteries with sufficient charge you can begin to start selling you left over gasoline for money 16 a pop
(from the regular craft bench) this allows you do very important things probably the most used in my experience
they can clean water, make seeds from veggies, make sugar (wheat+chocolate) make gunpowder (sugar +ash= 10 gun powder) that enough for 10 batches of whatever ammo you need)
crafts all the ammo you need
starts on emission 20 and higher. has the best loot in the game every you do need to prepared
recommended. the lvl 2 mask from the bar as the rads is higher then a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
high end weapon if not the scorpion can make do with its decent damage and high rate of fire but you well need like 4-6 spare mags for it. the saiga excels in the bunker it does work.
beware the ghouls kinda tough
spider things are not that strong they just look scary.
some areas are littered with mines on the ground they are black round discs on the floor. powerful too yet to survive an blast. one shots the person who steps on it and the blast radius is no joke.

Some things I've found to
before the game actually starts take the garbage and place in the incinerator processing slots and hook up the gas generator to it was well.

Home is always on the east wall

the incinerator does not allow you take items out once you start the process so make sure you are ok with what goes in

scrap is twice as valuable since it also needed to make iron bars which will be important the whole game

make sure you get a backpack in the 60 secs for a better start. this is also the only way for you to place down the advance work bench since it weights 25 kgs

can be tamed with vodka in hand slowly poach and hit interact and boom! you got a companion
can be used as a source of power if you are having a hard time finding gas just need to craft the dwarf generator

you can get back your ♥♥♥♥ even after you die multiple times just make sure you do before the emission strikes.edit seems to not be entirely true so if your body decays to a skeleton loot does appear to be lost for good

speaking of death you will find yourself dying A LOT while you are learning to survive in the zone however lets take advantage of your deaths while you are at it. 1. re-spawning set health food water and energy at around 50% however you do keep the insanity/stress you had (unless you died from it then cap is 33%) this is just enough to run to your body and not enough to run back if you are in a hurry if possible take a quick snack and drink. then go for your run.
2. after enough time your corpse will turn into a skeleton and leave behind a turd. take them home with you. skeleton can be incinerated for ash and poo for the farm.

emission are about 15 mins per rotation. There is no specific count-down time for when the air-raid siren starts to plan ahead!

GET cables and stash them in a corner once you are ready for power you will thank yourself later

the bomber plane is appears tied to the host to in my case i was host and stayed inside the safe area for a while and towards the end i enter the zone and the bomber instantly spawned. bomber does seem to be client side so each player does have their own bomber to worry about. easy to outrun the bombs just look up and run the opposite away

Search cars! You would be surprised how many good items you can find in the cars. car with the glass intact

get the large cropper its the best 3 plants at once and 4x6 storage cells and 6 fuel slots
can use either poo or ash as fuel but poo does seem to last longer. good for about 1 +1/2 grows
the tactic i used with having three croppers for carrots at they can be sold for for 7 ruble PP and they is also how much the buy cost of scrap is. so carrots are a good stable supply of money and scrap late game.

the tall things in the bunker are
with the spetaz vest it takes 3 svd to the chest to kill player
ghouls take 4-5 shots with the saiga
spiders are 1-2 shots with saiga

the POI are always going to have the sameish loot and layout

for instances
this one for example will have a wooden wind turbine and a large cropper in it.

Also POI will have the same stash locations

mutants and monster

slighty stronger then the boars deers do fast melee attacks. sopmething of note once the deer get low on health it will began to run away
weakest animal in the game but will still kill you if you let your guard down
big foot lookin things are actually docile you can get as close are you want to them HOWEVER if you attack them in they will fight back kinda tough to kill with melee but not impossible
tall, white, ugly and has two heads (hence the name) twins are by far the toughest enemy to kill in the open world. beware as they are just slighty slower then your sprint speed so manage your stamina carfully around them
runs on all fours and pretty fast for a overgrown rat. while not as tough as the twins dont mistake that for weakness. is the most valuable trophy to kill for
had a lot of fun studying this one. tall ugly and kinda fast. first thing they start in a dormant state and are argo by sounds whistling counts but this can be use against them if planned properly.
once active they can then chase by sight and sound. they have a blinding scream with completely blackens your screen for about 3-ish seconds (medium radius and phases though walls) with this they will attempt to close the gap and grab onto your back and start to squeeze you to death this is about 10 seconds. you'll know if its on you since it makes sounds crushing you to death.
psycher getting grab is certain death. no way around it yet.
causes extreme insanity and dizziness requires line of sight to do damage

the only thing am gunna say is that only the stair and walls work when it comes to building inside the bunker

if you want to use the lower levels you gunna have to do something a little bit jank (see example)

also you can really only have two levels to take advantage of

Don't trust the Dwarfs! These little bastards will drink all your vodka and eat anything inside their pockets you place in them!(when you restart server) It's better to place items you want to save in one of the workbenches or sewing machine.

starting at emissions 10 when the apartments start spawning. they may not render at all leaving a void. to fix this have everyone return to the bunker, save then relaunch save. no need to restart the game. this also tends to happen more often when there are more people. also this was generate a new seed and restart the countdown for Emissions.

some guns appear to double shoot. example the Mosin will use two ammo but only fire once.

There is a weird bug where you will be constantly attacking but no animation will be playing. Be carful of constantly clicking the LMB and running into a teammate as you might just send them back to the void.

starting at emission 25 a beyond the destoryed city does seem to have render issues serious drop in fps

game resets emission after 36 and goes back to 0 this leads back to summer and the difficulty is just like starting a new game

cannot place the bunker structure on the bedrock.
if you really want to use the bedrock floor then build a stair case out of furniture items




Empty "bags" will spawn after picking up an object with storage, even when the container is empty. Reloading the save is required to get rid of these.
