SCUM: Survival Tips to Find Things.
How to Find Necessary Things
For immediate food
- Look for gardens behind houses – some of the trees/bushes are harvest-able.
- Farm lands along roads often identified by being stonewalled off.
- Lots of olive trees and bushes look like chop-able ones, but all over the map.
- On the ground, look close and you can find lettuce, onions, watermelons, potatoes.
- Grapevines are obvious.
- Deep forest mushrooms….Examine first.
For immediate water
- Any fresh water, otherwise Wells, or Watercoolers in office spaces.
Note: in SP, wells and coolers seem to need to be examined before they start to fill, but literally 5 minutes later and magic. I might be wrong or it might change so leaving this in parenthesizes for now)
In Town
- Cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores (food).
- Schools (bags/clothes, supposedly books too but not me).
- Specialty shops in town – Pharmacies, Police stations are extremely high priority.
- Garages and Sheds – extremely high priority.
- (open tab, some stuff is just laying around or looks like furniture).
Out-of-town gas stations = best go-to spot IMO for backpacks, including hiking bags (outside by the tables too).
I could spend hours trying to think of things but there are a lot of unique specialty locations all across the map or tucked away somewhere. The University (books/meds) comes to mind. Oh yeah, and the Airfield! (christmas). The Tuna Warehouses too.
Hope this helps!
