[2023] Beginner's Opinion A21: Difficulty, Water and Antibiotics

Since you are a beginner I highly recommend that you play one of the PREGEN maps rather than Navezgane. Navezgane is a work in progress and it is a much more challenging experience due to distances you must travel and the fact that traders are in more rural settings. The PREGEN world will have your trader right next to an urban area so you will have plenty of places to explore and scavenge for resources.

Most everyone here is envious that you are still in that phase of coming to grips with the game! :)

Funniest thing is that someone says to not play on Navezgane map, someone else perfectly explaining why that is, and still the "Official 7 Days to Die Wiki" on fandom.com (article: "Beginners Guide") says to play on Navezgane map as Beginner.

Thanks for explaining the thing with honey. I did not realize that. Learned something :-)

The wiki just hasn't been updated probably. Navezgane used to be perfect for beginners but with recent developments with the magazines, and water, Navezgane is no longer so easy. I'm betting that when they have time to get to it they will move the traders to be much closer to the urban areas.
