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.

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.

City

In the city's Retail area, you can visit stores to buy or sell weapons, building resources, medical supplies, and boosters. Under Info, you can access game and player stats. In the West of the city, you'll find a list of available factions. We're still constructing Trading, and we hope to expand into the South.
