You could take heavy sleeper and glass jaw instead of lightweight and thin skinned.
if you make a knife spear you can forego taking points in dodging and take more in intelligence (for book reading.)
Ideally just practice with one newly made set of clothes instead of making new clothes. Level up your fabrication level by making fishhooks and then make a wood needle and grind tailoring away.

glass jaw just seems like an overall terrible thing to have regardless of points, as well as heavy sleeper since you just sleeper harder and longer but still need to sleep just as often. are they not as bad as they seem?
also, if im going krav should i even bother with a knife spear? im unfamiliar with how martial arts work, is the wiki up to date on it or can you give me a rough outline?
and finally, what do you mean by practicing with one newly made set of clothes? like, disassembling and then reassembling them? im not sure what you mean here. and after i get a wood needle what should i make to grind tailoring with?
When you use a tailoring kit on any piece of gear, even a fully repaired one, you can try to improve it. At low levels you destroy it pretty fast bt as long as you have thread you can get xp. Honestly I usually just go directly to town unless I am playing a wilderness character. I will write a small guide soon, do you have epeirmental z levels on?

Let me put together a quick "starter build", deitus, using single pool
"Glass Jaw" is a good trait to take for points because of relative limb hit chances- you're usually much more likely to die from running out of torso hit points then head hit points, so the odds of the extra 20% mattering are pretty low.
Okay, very hard to kill starter build:
Stats: Str 10, Dex 10, Int 8, Per 8.
Profession: Traceur/Traceuse. This costs 3 points, gives you Dodge 4, the Parkour Expert trait, and a whole bunch of storage space right in your starter gear.
Negative Traits: Animal Discord (Natural animals essentially can't land hits on you), Glass Jaw (See above), Chemical Imbalance (it's not particularly impactful and actually often helpful early game since one of the most common imbalance effects heats you up, which is good half the time), Truth Teller, Trigger Happy (automatics aren't that much better than semi-auto anyway), Wool Allergy (very little clothing is wool), other traits to taste.
Positive Traits: Parkour Expert (Free from profession. You can easily dance along a counter while zombies follow you, moving back after each swing while they never get a chance to take a swing back- not that they could hit you), Night Vision, Fleet-Footed.
Skills: 1 each in melee, Tailoring, and survival- dump everything else into Dodge.
Depending on what other negative traits you take, your Dodge should be between 8 and 10, since the +4 (which is stupidly high) from Traceur applies as a flat bonus (i.e, you still buy dodge as though you had no points in it, even though you really have 4.) For context, the highest I've EVER gotten dodge after character creation is 7 (very few things are difficult enough to advance dodge past 6.) You're starting as high as 9. Run away from threats, you're faster than them on both rough and even ground, and laugh when things swing at you because they will *never actually land a hit*. You only fear fire and electricity. (also guns, until you find an Uncanny Reflexes bionic.)
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.
werent z levels supposed to be super buggy right now? i think ill pass on them for the time being other than that my world is:
>base game, craftable gun pack, bright nights, makeshift items mod, more survival tools, dinomod, beta national guard camp, more locations, boats, vehicle additions pack, tanks and other vehicles
>default world gen options (no npc's, no wander spawns, etc)
ill also try out what you suggested, drynwyn. im still really confused on martial arts even after reading the wiki. if you guys are on steam i could just add you on there if you wanted a more streamlined way of me annoying you with simplistic questions.
When raiding towns it is super important to pick your point of entry very carefully. Certain areas in cities are much more enemy dense and therefore more difficult. At the beginning your best bet is to raid a ton of houses. Normal houses often have really good loot, and special basements like gun nut or prepper basements can be a goldmine for items.
Always approach a city towards the most isolated groups of houses you can. Cities often generate with little suburb areas containing nothing but houses, and they are usually a safer bet especially for daytime looting. Smash a back window of a house to get in, stay in the darkness. Approach windows from the sides and {c}lose the curtains to prevent zeds in the streets from seeing you. If you get spotted by a few zombies pull them into a window frame and fight them one or two at a time. Find a house with a nice basement and make it a mini base. Stash loot there and make a pile of blankets/clothes so you can sleep in it.

I'm a little iffy about breaking windows since you can make a makeshift crowbar real easy and I think opening the window with it makes no noise.
With a makeshift spear you can f to hit from a 2 tile range. This is good for the fat zombies since infections are a bitch to deal with.
Tailoring is easy to train and a good investment. If you can find a grocery shop, try to get shopping carts and G grab them. The ability to move lots of stuff makes looting easier.
When raiding cities and houses you can do it during the day, but the lighting that allows you to see zombies also lets them see you. The inverse is true at night too. If you can't see them, often they can't see you either.
Always, always, always try to butcher zombies. Treat them like lings. If you don't get rid of them, they will come back.

you can also mash the corpses, but this can damage your weapon and i dont think it gives any survival skill. Also drains stamina really fast.
Smashing windows does make a bit of noise but i dont think i have ever aggrod a zed that way, other than ones in the house i would have had to fight anyways

dinomod might make some things people are telling you about zombies a little wrong and/or more difficult. I don't think it only adds dinosaurs but also changes zombie behavior
The only thing it changes about non-dino shit is it modifies the sewer and swamp spawnpools to have dinosaurs, and adds a map feature that spawns dinosaurs.
t. guy who read the github files
in advance of my eventual forum ban, I just wanted to say
you are mom is gay
they are feared because they have high attack damage, but their accuracy is pretty poor.
if you have at least Dodging 4, they can barely hit you
Dodging is, IMO, the most valuable skill to get at char creation because:
-It's hard to raise from 0 to not 0 in game (because you get killed).
-It's nigh impossible to raise to values higher than 6 in game.
As a result, points 0-4 in Dodge are a valuable investment, and points above 6 are similar to Traits and other things that can't be reliably picked up after character creation.
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.
Butchered a shit ton of bioweapons, got like 8+ Mk. II Power augments, and a bunch of other random ones, none too powerful, but things like the fingerpick and torsion ratchets. Had to drive a looted luxury RV across the map, since my puny bike couldn't carry all my sick loot, and absolutely trashed it on all the stuff I ran into. Finally get back, and get started prepping the procedure to install the bionics- took three-four codeine pills, took an aspirin, drank a few swigs of fruit wine- then my heart stopped.
Take two codeine and wait, once your painkiller slowdown hits ten percent you can install. The restriction is fucking retarded anyways, given that the game already has a system for simulating pain, you can willingly inflict pain on yourself in other ways like cauterizing wounds or stepping in lava, installing cmbs doesnt actually increase your pain level and in their descriptions cbms explicitly state that they are entirely self contained and have everything you need to install the bionic. It's not consistant, it's not realistic and it's not fun. Kevin just refuses to backpedal at all on it because he for whatever reason seriously feels like it needs to be in the game

Hulks aren't all that bad tbh. I find shocker zombies worse.
Just walk backwards along a counter (if you have Parkour Expert) or sprint around rough terrain. It's pretty easy to get hits on hulks without letting them swing back.
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.
Shockers suck but once you get diaelectric capacitance CBM they are easy modo and a good source of power storage CBMS. Acid zeds on the other hand remain deadly forever unless you wear a survivor wetsuit below your other armor which adds shitloads of encumbrance

I never found acid zeds to be particularly bothersome. The acid is harmful, but they're fragile and easily shot down. They consume a little ammo and dropping them makes noise, but they haven't given me any serious grief.
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.
If you are in a confined space or they get a lucky shot spitters can cause some major damage to your legs and even break them, if you have to move several squares to escape the acid pool. On characters of mine that reach late mid game spitters are usually the only basic zed type that can still cause me any significant damage

depending on what you are making you will need a certain cooking level, all the proper ingredients, a heat source, something to cook with like a pot or pan, and in the case of many nonperishable foods like oatmeal and rice some water as well
