IRL zomboid is worse because there are less offline resources available now than the 90s, gun ownership and reliability depend greatly on where you are in the world and what laws restrict you, population is exponentially greater, the environment is much more toxic (UNICEF doesn’t even recommend you try to boil rainwater anymore), and extreme weather makes survival in the absence of modern technology extremely difficult.

- Everything went to shit anyway
- I have higher than average survival skills
- I am a cyclist in an area with alot of trails and not so many people
I’d say I would give an IRL Zomboid a try

Lucky… you only have a fraction of PFAS you need to test for…

Yes, I know there is some stuff which is already everywhere, I just meant that in The Scenario i wouldn’t have to worry much about local rainwater quality, even if I was picky like that:)

This is for the time before you will have a safehous with everything powered by readily available commercial solar cells.
(just in case, anything I comment about here would only work in “everyone is a Zed but you”, because otherwise survivors, and more importantly, surviving people in power, will fubar each others and everyone else’s lives, and no long-term idea will reliably work)

A home improvement box store (in a non-crowded area) is not far from me, and there are multiple bike lanes leading to it. So, tools, pickup trucks, generators, everything

Yeah, and plumbing into a filtered sink from the rain collectors too

How to make new filters?

How dare you make me start thinking about how to best connect my two rain water tanks to my house.
This will consume at least 5 minutes of good pondering time! I hope you’re happy

Not me. I played “what if zombies” a few times in my head, and have come to the conclusion the best place to be is the factory I used to work at, and I fucking hate it there with every fibre of my being.
