When you spent over two hours just waiting to make this and get told that, it's pretty **** The game does some things right, but even after 40 days, I still wasn't getting attacked and didn't need to build any defences in my shelter. It tells you to wait 30+ real-time minutes. And when you do make it and start recycling. This wouldn't be a big problem if you didn't need a lot of plastic to build certain items. Your characters will get radiation poisoning if you don't equip them with gas masks for expeditions, but each of these requires 2 plastic, meaning if you run out of plastic, you are stuck to broadcasting for traders and the game is pretty boring with no ongoing expeditions. Yes, they consume your precious resources.

This bizarre occurrence made me not want new characters because I was doing just fine and you cannot take the auto-mode off them (their loyalty needs time to increase). Despite a character joining my shelter and having no stress, within a few real-time minutes they said they were too stressed out and leaving, so they set fire to something. If my high charisma character is not engaging in conversation with a stranger, then it just doesn't make sense since I cannot choose so. For some reason, during encounters on expeditions, the game seems to randomly select 1 of the 2 characters to interact - meaning you basically want 2 characters with all high stats. Survival becomes incredibly easy and fights from the start can be incredibly easy with the right pet (RIP bears). Except any challenge this game presents can end very early on. You have to craft stuff to gain more from expeditions, in order to craft more stuff. The loot is RNG, what traders have is RNG and that is a good thing. There is a large assortment of items obtainable in the game, along with a plethora of craftables.

Unfortunately comes with some serious flaws. There is a large assortment of items obtainable in the game, along with a Cute survival game.
