Like any survival game, play with some friends. I got three of my friends groups into this game and they all loved it. Those first few days ingame are definitely a bit scary lol. Don't play this game on console, it's been abandoned, but on PC there's a bunch of support and mods. Even having only played the vanilla game, I still have loads of fun. Just one of those games me and my friends go back to every year on our breaks.
