• Scavenge outside and explore the map. It is essential to find as many resources and buildings as possible, as it will become harder to explore and find items as the zombie numbers increase. Most of the town should be outside on day 1, with as few people staying inside as possible.

• Do not build a Hovel Hovel or a Tent Tent. The (AP) spent building these can be better spent outside, finding defensive items.

• Do not build the Portal Lock Portal Lock as this wastes resources and is generally not helpful to the town.

• Build the Workshop Workshop,the Watchtower Watchtower and the Search Tower Searchtower. If you cannot find the Electronic component Electronic component to build the Search Tower Searchtower, then build the Pump Pump and the Water Purifier Water Purifier.
  • The Day 1 attack is low, with a maximum of 29 zombies. With enough people scavenging in the World Beyond, you should not need to build any defensive structures. However, if your town is disorganized and your defense is low, then Great Wall Strengthening Wall Upgrade v1 is a good option.

• Upgrade the Search Tower Searchtower if it is built, and the Watchtower Watchtower if it is not.

• Assign somebody to shut the gates, preferably every night. This person should have a reliable internet connection and the ability to be on before the attack every day.
