March Digest #2

PC Game - SurrounDead

Got a few Access Keys (Level 0 to 3 inclusive, as seen below). As yet haven't found a use for them given I'm preoccupied with setting up my base to my specs. However, I have learned they are for very important quests/missions.

There is also an All Access key card but I've yet to come across it. Not that it will be easily found. Nor am I actively seeking it.

After clearing one of the cities on the South Coast, opposite the oil rig in the bay, I spent the rest of the session building a more secure base. Set up a generator so I have light at night. Spent a fair time working out how to align the modular system of construction. The advice given by the Steam Community wasn't exactly clear (to me) so I struggled for a bit until I got the hang of it. Even got a bed set up. Lol.

Will check out the haunted lighthouse at night.

Using lockpicks is so far proving disappointing because I keep breaking them. So I just a crowbar to break open when it is an alternate option. As I did in the locked building down the street. Found some good stuff when I broke in. 

Briefcases hold access key cards. But such cards are found anywhere, often in out-of-the-way places like in an abandoned church atop a hill overlooking one of the main towns.

==============================

Winter has arrived finally.

Down the road found an isolated farmhouse with an empty bunker. Figured to set up a more secure second base.

Ran across a fixed-location trader, Trader Joe, located not from this bunker. Like the isolated bunker, he's off the main road down a dirt road. And he's got a little secure compound surrounded by secure fencing. Entrance is through a shipping container. Keen to learn to modify such containers so I can do it for this new bunker location. 

Picked up a buggy just north of my first base. Stopped to help some friendly scavengers and there was the buggy. Repaired it. Fuelled it. Drove it back to my base. 

Damn! Just found the Surroundead Wiki. And the Interactive map marked with every location on it. Damn, damn, damn! Was having fun not knowing and endeavouring to find out for myself. Damn damn damn. Fun spoiled now.

End of this game for me.
