Summary of the first day:

So the end times have come and fellow man wants to do nothing more than to chew the contents within your skull. It's time to go defend yourself, the zombies may look like they want to give you hugs but really it's all an elaborate ploy. Looking around your spawn there should be a weapon around in the drawers or cupboards, equip the best you can find; ranking from spoon (Insanity wolf recommends a spoon) to knives, to pans and rolling pins to baseball bats and axes. Deal with any immediate threats close to your spawn, is better to be safe than sorry. NEVER and I do mean never, go outside of your spawn house without a weapon, even if it's a spoon you should equip it, you'll most likely be spotted by those eagle eyed critters, even from off the screen.You won't start off hungry or thirsty so the second priority after dealing with threats is to find where you are on the map. Some people like to aimlessly wander and explore, and that's fine, but the map is pretty big and all the good juicy loot is spread out far enough that you simply won't get what you need before everything starts going downhill after the second week. You could implore the dark souls method of dying and infinite amount of times before learning the entire map in your head (And good luck with that), but for the rest of us, looking up a map is important (The game itself doesn't have a in game map yet, hopefully we can refer to that when its updated). The best way to locate yourself is to look around for any landmarks such as roads, store types and the ground layout. A good orienteer can deduce where they are by checking the neighbouring houses and looking at the spawn house and matching it to a location on the map. This will give you a sense of direction where to go and where to plan your base.Here is a link to the map: MAP LINK Begin nomming on the fresh content of your fridge as that stuff will start going off in late game, if you've already planned on moving to a new spot to cover as much area as possible on the first day then you might as well raid the contents of your fridge and eat it ad hoc. Grab any cans or chips with you. If you can find one, grab a whiskey bottle, water bottle or orange soda bottle, and that can be used as a water container on the go. You get all this advice on filling water in pots before the supplies are turned off, but we aim to be self sufficient by then so don't worry about that.What you want to be doing aside from the usual survival is to start to position yourself in a good location, near warehouses and housing areas. These places will no doubt have a high density of zombies, but you should be able to kit yourself out within the first and second days.You don't want zombie voyeurs looking at you from your bedroom window, so close all curtains and sheet up all odd windows which can be found in cupboards, if you don't want to risk the first day, you can sheet up the spawn house as a temporary measure if you haven't planned a route yet.General survival, plan a base, look for long term items and eat as you go along. Don't even bother with meat and raw stuff, go full veggie, pre-cooked burgers are also good. Keep upgrading your bags too.
