Where do you start, and what can you expect?

Welcome

Welcome to the world of the living dead. A barren wasteland of opportunity for those who survived the worst of it. You find yourself alone and weak in the city of zombies, Zed City. Use your stronghold to build up a secure and industrious homestead. Explore, scavenge and hunt for survival in this bleak unforgiving world.

Core Stats

Your core stats act as your main pool of resources for performing activities, for example you will expend Energy when training in the gym. If you're hurt within the game it will effect your Health pool and so on. It is important to track your Core Stats and try to improve them. There are many consumable which can refill or bolster your core stats, such as Zed Bull and Beer.

Level

Your player level dictates which stronghold buildings you can build. You can level it up by earning XP in all activities such as hunting and scavenging.

Energy

Energy is used for all hard physical activity that takes a toll on your body, this includes hunting and fighting Zeds and training in the gym.

Immunity

Your radiation level decreases when exploring the City, your radiation exposure goes down slightly after most scavenging and exploring attempts. It will regenerate 1 every 40 seconds. This can be increased with clothing and perk points.

Morale

As you explore the world and try new things, this will take a toll on your mentality and effect your Morale stat. All activities will decrease your morale depending on how experienced you are with the activity. Doing an activity for the first time will decrease Morale by about 2x the Rad/Energy cost, and decrease to 1 Morale over time.

Health

Health is your pool of life, as you hunt and attack Zeds any incoming damage will affect your health pool. If you lose all of your health you will be sent to the hospital for 2 minutes and enter a recovery state. You can heal yourself with various items including Med Kits, and you can increase your Health recovery time by upgrading the Medical Bay in your stronghold.

Player Funds

Money

Money is used when purchasing upgrades for the Stronghold. You can gain more money by selling items in the shops or the player Market.

Zed Coin

Zed Coin is the premium currency within the game. Players get Zed Coin for supporting the game development and helping cover infrastructure/development costs. You can spend Zed Coin on upgrades for your stronghold and refilling your Energy or Radiation.

Making Cash

In the City almost everything has value and forms part of a supply chain somewhere, Logs become Planks, Iron Ore becomes Iron Bar and so on. There are many different items and resources to collect and craft. Once you have hoarded enough supplies to last you should head over to the City and sell some of your spare supplies.

Things to Do

Zed City is a survival simulator with a focus on survival aspects such as Scavenging and Hunting for survival. You can also get a car and start to Explore the world further away from the city.

As you progress further into the game you can join a Faction. If you have enough spare supplies you can build you own Outpost Buildings on the out-skirts of the city.

Joining/Starting a Faction

Your faction begins with a Base, which displays the faction rank, number of members, and amount of respect earned through raids. To access the members list, go to the Camp. There, you will find information on each member's current level and role within the faction. You can add items such as barley seeds, dirty water, and water via the Store. Additionally, the faction Farm and Distillery are located here. Second in line is Raids, which improve your faction's standing and respect. Activity lists the faction's goings-on, including the outcomes of raids.

Our Zed City meeting place for players to both add and comment on posts. Which can be anything from discussions about Zed City to players talking about their shared interests. We've included a handy how-to guide on making your forum posts stand out with little Syntax tips and tricks. And for the none tech savvy myself included, Syntax in this context means to make things bold, italic or both etc.

+==Welcome==
-:You will encounter zombies trying to bite you, but don't worry. You will learn all the skills and tools you need to handle even the worst that Zed City has to offer. You will scavenge various locations in the city to obtain items and hunt for zombies. You will receive a basic stronghold, which you will need to upgrade to increase your chances of survival. Your main focus during the early stages of the game will be to grow your player and upgrade your stronghold. Head over to the Quests section and begin "Welcome to the End." Doing the quests will help you gain valuable experience and teach you the basics. In the future, you will receive items upon completing a quest or section of the quest.
