Wow, I hadn't read this in a while ... wish i knew to pull out those sqf files before I re-started this one today.

 I still could - I played with settings on this one, using another post to somewhat guide me on what I was choosing.  

Bad part was on a couple I sorta picked the wrong thing.  I spawned at night for one ... full moon helps, buildings are lit, but starting out it's a long wait for any major looting.

 I set the zombies to .01 , 0% runners.  AI I set low as I could , both friendlies and the bandits/hunters...
I hadn't ran into any yet.

But i spawned in water , not sure where on the map I am, but there was an oddly placed mil area , nothing in the buildings ( that were on a hill) but there was a well, a campfire set , and a BTR fully healed sitting right there!
 Of course, not very "survivally" of me , as talk about a pure luck "find" , and armored, fully weaponized amphibious vehicle ... I couldn't pass up the chance to grab it.
Looting yielded me some water bottles not far away, I came back to the well, filled those.
 Hindsight, I think maybe loot didn't spawn in the barracks either because they were on the steep hill ( oddly placed), or I didn't wait around long enough for anything to spawn in.

I might go back later, just to see ...
Going back to the small town I found, I was able to pick up a couple jerry cans, a better back pack , a winchester ( one of my fav rifles to have starting out) , and a decent pistol.

 I picked the map 3.0 that opens up more buildings ( though Napf already had lots of open buildings )
I still need food ( last time I played, I had issues finding water/drinks) ...
 But doing ok atm.

My blood is low I think by the symbols, it starts off that way I think.

It'll be interesting to see if hostile AI still spam/aimbot me as much ...

I hadn't looted the whole town yet, I backed off went back to the btr I parked, unloaded gear into it, and drove to a house nearby.  I was hoping to get a sleep option to sleep through the night, but doesn't seem so with out a tent ( if sleep is even in the mission, I can't remember.)

 I'm lacking all the basic tools so far , knife, toolbox, axe or machette at least.  
So if I find AI to be "too much" in these settings, i'll try Rachels removal of sqfs trick too.  
So dying isn't a big deal really if i do, i'll retry off revert/save a couple times just to see if things pan out ...
As since you don't -always- start out finding a BTR , i wanna try and keep it/take advantage of having it!
 Thats the only reason right now, i'm not backing out and removing those sqf files already lol.

 but yes, this one seems to play out more like a "civil war" is going on, the way I low zombie/slow zombies set, maybe the "infection" is at the early days, bandits and military trying to control the island, I'm one of the unlucky "survivors" caught behind enemy lines?
