==Game Modes== | |||

The | |||
== | ==Tutorial== | ||
This is a quick introduction on a small map to introduce the user interface to new players. You don't get to choose any character traits or professions. | |||
== | ==Beginner== | ||
This mode is played on the main Project Zomboid map, but with fairly easy settings. This is the mode to start with after you have done the tutorial. You can choose to start in either Muldraugh or West Point in [[Knox County]], Kentucky, USA and you can also customise your [[Player]]. The player can choose from a selection of heads and skin tones, and a list of [[professions]] and [[traits]]. Negative [[traits]] give positive points while positive [[traits]] spend these points, so you must take negatives to obtain positives. | |||
==Survival== | |||
The same as beginner, except all of the settings have been made more difficult. This is how the game is supposed to be played once you are experienced, but is not for beginners. | |||
==Sandbox== | |||
The map is the same as for Beginner or Survival Modes, but the settings are customisable. In the '''Saved Presets''' box at the top, the Beginner option (1) is the same settings as the Beginner game mode and the Default option (2) is the same as the Survival game mode with 8 Months after the Apocalypse (3) being a further extremely hard setting. The defaults for those presets are shown below with the numbers next to them. | |||
