There's plenty of animals.

best "common" weapon is the winchester; not as loud as the enfield (I think) and loads of ammo around. We don't ALL have the ability to get to military bases for all the non-common h/w.

I've always hated multiplayer games (crap internet connection - time it takes to get playing; and perhaps I'm an antisocial git) so tried this solo. I've been alive a few days (200+ kills) and am wondering if the "stay alive" aim is starting to wear a bit thin; ok there was a panic when I lost blood and couldn't find wood (the hatchet saved me) but what do I do next? I'm playing in the NW (nice small towns with supermarkets) and am plucking up courage to go to the airstrip (approach from the N) but to do what? Just to say I've been there? I suspect I'll stop playing (the Alpha) when I eventually die. Guess that could be tonight... or next week. Guess that's why its FUN.

Desparately short of blood (2300) - not a wood pile in sight - but I have matches and uncooked meat. I finally find my first hatchet. Saved! Which made me think of thes words from this song... ...He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, He goes to the lava-try. Will Rocket go this far?

I just cut and paste lava-try from this site http://www.lyricsdepot.com/monty-python/lumberjack-song.html Its the shit-house to you and me :-)

Yer, you'll come across them eventually; I badly need to eat a cow or sheep but they're never around when you want them.

Same here. 1.6.0.1 client mismatches 1.6.0.1 server

There appears to be a mismatch betwen 1.6.0.1 clients and servers (1.6.0.1 servers are reporting to be 1.6.0).

Probably lots of stuff more relevant but I've been playing along to Mastodon. Curl of the Burl suits with "I killed a man because he killed my goat." Although I don't think I've seen any goats ?

I have my knife (in tool slot) but how do i gut the dead sheep? should it be a right-mouse click option? thanks. found the problem. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7679&pid=70871

^ but you don't HAVE to kill zombies to get into small towns.

OR don't die.

(for UK players) stuff gets a bit hectic after 3PM (kids home from school). This is a good time to try eastern US (eg NY) servers.

Ok, so I've done the basics but my next challenge is how to get blood and maintain temperature. I'm aware that eating can help with the blood but I think I need to know how to eat meat (kill -> gut[knife!] -> cook[matches!] -> eat). I've found loads of wood, so where are the knives and matches? Have seen none so far... Tents next...

(I've found loads of wood too). Supermarkets? Better venture into town then...
