Facing is very important and as another poster said square will allow you to climb the ladder. Assuming you are facing the ladder you should see it say click square to climb. You can also hold down L3 when going down the ladder and your player will slide down the ladder faster then climbing down it.

Agreed. Don't know the abbreviated letters for European countries. But NE could be Netherlands and BE could be Belgium. Like RU could be for Russia. But the EU vs US should help keep you on the same contintent.

1st life, looted in some city along the beach. Ran into a zombie which turned into two zombies. After I figured out you are not out running them I turned to fight but with a stone knife I didn't last long. 2nd life, managed to stay alive long enough to get some basic items backpack, hatchet, and a bunch of junk that I would likely never use but kept it because it was what I found. Lived three days before I couldn't find water to drink died of thirst. 3rd life. Lived longer then the 1st and 2nd lives. Found a backpack and gun with bullets after two days of looting. Ran into two people but once I pointed my gun at them they ran away. I did the voice talk saying walk away or I will shoot. So some of us don't shoot on sight, but I would be cautious since that could change quickly. Have survived over 4 days now and learned your backpack can get 'ruined" and if you drop it on the ground you cannot pick it back up. So with a canteen, some canned food, and a can opener I am feeling pretty good. So I am out there in the world with a gun and bullets, food and water, and looking for some action now. Then again if you kill me first I have some decent loot on me. Side note - night time sucks at this point as it is really dark and in a normal survive situation I would go to sleep and wake up in the morning. Most of the time I find a place and hide out for the hour it takes for night time to pass on. I don't want to run around with a flashlight or anything that draws attention, but sitting or jumping servers when it is dark isn't much fun.

To craft anything have one item in your hands. Then cursor over other items in your inventory. If the circle comes up and says combine then you can make something. Hit circle and then hold R2 if there is more then one recipe you will hit R2 to change between what you can craft. It is very clunky and somewhat sucks as there really isn't too much to read to become more knowledgeable about crafting. I have accidentally stumbled upon things you can craft by just holding items and then cursoring over other items to see if the circle combine comes up.

PS4 is on 1.02.somthing. so if the crate/box is on version 1.03 the PS4 version will need to wait until the 1.03 patch.

US is going to be the United States. EU should be European Union. I would stick with the area you live to keep your ping lower. I haven't seen a ping on the PS4 for servers so I don't know how to tell your ping. If you go to a server that is really laggy it could be a result of the server being a long way away.

Also, if the item you are trying to equip is "ruined" you cannot equip it. So check the condition of the piece if the other suggestions above don't work.
