I have over 55 hours now and no keys, looted all of apartments 8 times, checking floors etc, my question is can i get away with not checking every stove and fridge? have started just looking at every other type of container bar them when doing loot runs unless i need the food/ juice. Is there a list somewhere for the type of loot to the type of storage? And lastly do certain areas drop keys more often or is it all just RNGods?

I have a long mod list, over 20 of them, but I consider them all to be mostly "gentle nudges" in terms of how they affect the experience. The overall gameplay loop and strategy doesn't change much, it's just dressed up with some QoL changes. Container Peek and Wallet and Cash are probably the biggest departures from the original gameplay experience.

However, in scrolling through the list of available mods, I can see there are ways to completely change how the game is played, from complete AI overhauls to effectively turning the game into something resembling STALKER or Metro.

How do you prefer to mod the game? Do you tweak a bit here and there or is your experience unrecognizable compared to vanilla RTV? Regardless, what is your favorite mod and why? To me it might be the Feel graphics mid just because no matter what experience you're going for, you can make it look better very easily.

Ive tried using loot modifier but that one seemed ti cause duplicates of items to spawn on the ground everywhere, which was very weird and annoying.

I tried a mod called Mega Loot but thst made the first corpse i looted spawn 2 keys and the first crate nvg…

Anyone have any suggestions to make opening 20 military crates feel less like an absolute troll without literally trivializing the game?

So I went for it, decided that I'd be happy to lose my entire save, it's not like I had that much loot or anything stashed in the cabin and tent, I'd made peace with losing my save.

Got to apartments and started looting and came across a few beers, vsd, other really nice guns, armour, the whole shaboodle, then in the last apartment I find not only the gymnasium key but also a friggin water lock!!! (I had one before when I completed docs quest but died on my way back).

It was at this point where I was half way looted through the map, full to the brim of loot and with what I'd found I decided to hoof it back to the tent. Made it back to the tent in outpost with no issues.

That loot run was the most exhilarating fun I'd had playing a game in a long time! I genuinely was absolutely fine with losing my save and my initial plan was to go to terminal and look for the oil things but obviously the rng gods decided otherwise.

For my first time in a permadeath area it was intense, scary and just thrilling and I'd recommend to anyone if you've not ventured there yet then to make peace with losing everything and go for it, high risk - high reward is an understatement, literally every apartment I went into had a special crate with some juicy loot in them. The real fun was in how thrilling it was!

If it weren't for the gym key and water lock I would have looted the whole map but my god I've been hoping for a water lock for quite some time and to get access to the patient file at the same time was just the cherry on top of the cake!

Can someone please help with steps i need to take to start modding, i checked some page out explaining what you will need but im a bit lost, is there a page or video that explains it step by step, maybe a YouTube video, for dummies preferably as im not too comfortable with all the lingo used.

So I've made it to the point where the Traders go on a little road trip together and disappear for 10 days . Anything I should be particularly aware of or should maybe seek out during this time? I stocked up on about 30 melatonin and was thinking about just sleeping through most of it , and I have plenty of food to get me through the energy and hydration decline through sleeping . But I'm wondering if this is a good time to farm anything in particular, or if the military units are starting to move into the green areas more ? I thought I actually had one more day before they left and was preparing the Run for the general list the doctor and the arms Trader but when I got to the generalist he was gone . It was a weird feeling, like in the 90s if you're over at a friend's house and then went home to find that your family ran to the grocery store without you and there was just this slightly Eerie feeling except this time Mom and Dad are gone and there's Bandits roaming around .

Also just want to say I'm absolutely Blown Away by the atmosphere ​ that the developer has created . A long moments of peaceful calm , and then suddenly a shot rings out overhead and a bullet smacks the tree next to you. This has actually successfully peeled me away from Arc Raiders and it's almost everything I want in a game. Going to try out that Co-op mod now that a buddy of mine picked up the game .
