What kind of cook do you have? Do they have vegetarian options?

Finally, relying on an alarm clock is a good way to get your base broken into by a stray horde; instead you should keep your wrist watch on you so the time display is still shown when sleeping NEVER set the alarm if you don't want to attract attention.

Also for crying out loud - mention that creating a water reserve in the early game is just as important as food (especially considering that the default "Auto-drink" setting wastes a lot of water you could be saving)

Pretty sure I just disable sleep requirement, and use the sleep allowed function to skip long nights; also "Do not cook" - is bad advice for anyone in it for the long haul, you get much less nuitrition out of non-cooked foods than you do out of cooked foods. That being said, you get the most bang for your buck out of cooking in MP when you have a dedicated cook while everyone else loots and shoots. Also as others have mentioned the TV Programs are not permenantly missable, each exists on a VHS Tape you can use even after the comms blackout and power failure.

Project zomboid players after they cant read and watch tv irl to not die

I prefer to not watch life and living and watch the same episodes later after reading the books for maximum efficiency.
