Check my load out and map then head out for one or two missions and return to base. Every day starts out with a good night sleep in a clean bed. So the first thing I do when exploring a new area is establish a new home base. You will need to plan a lot more since you can't fast travel and of course you need to carry food and water with you at all times.Īmmo now has weigh so picking your weapons and loadouts is also more important.Įstablishing non manned settlements is a great way to have a clean place to sleep, produce clean water, plus storage. However the longer you are on the surface eating and drinking you system will adapt and you will get sick a lot less. Keep a mental note of where all the commonwealth doctors are because you will be needing them. When you first come out of the vault your immune system is not prepared so you can and will get sick a lot. Mostly when I need to save and quit the game. That said I use gophers SoS mod but sparingly.
I would be careful with the mods you select or you will pretty much mod out all the challenges that survival mode brings. I am currently lvl 40 with none of the main quest started. I have been playing a new character in Survival mode since 1.5 released.
