I feel a little lost.
I have nothing but the same few things to do in the game.
Gather food and wood from the forest.
Explore either gets me in fights I can't win, I can capture girls etc. or increase intelligence.
The farm lets me sell food and wood.
The underground city lets me train, and have a shop for things I don't see a use for.
I need metal for recipes, but I haven't found any.
So is the game just build up your cabin with some of the things and that's it?
Okay. first.
You need to raise all stats higher.
STR - fight, in the arena train(there is chance to buy vitamins and raise stamina to 140)
train in the fire place. train with all guests and companions after 18:00 at fire place)
ENDurance- you can endlessly trin it at the fire place (less damage in fights) armor helps too
train and fight at underground until 80 place max there is no futher story i think. you still can still train there
INT there is some requirements for it at building and at some events
to raise it give food to veteran survivor +1 INT each time
after you get church running at settlement you can raise INT by reading books there
after you get nursery and library, your scavengers can loot books and you can read it at the library (at 100INT it gives you only 2 INT)
Fights STR + knife + gun + (crossbow + arrows)
hand fight - low damage
knife - just higher damage
gun(need ammo) and crossbow(need arrows) - are single kill
Slaves to get slaves more easy you need STR stat, maybe some items too
you need to get companions faster to raise their stats
at 18:00-20:00 you can train all guest and all your companions (2 times per day)
you also can train some slaves at the Basement in the evening.
Try to get guests with appopriate skills faster, you can wind up back some events if you do not like the results upper left button.
Guests
Scavengers - is must (it can give you rare items or materials randomly)

lamberjacks - (wood worker to get more wood) (to get wood) (need axe to assign to forest)
