For half of 24 minute days, I am huddled in a corner. I don't like alt+tabing out as it breaks the immersion which is most of the fun of this game. Even if I built a brand new house with multiple walls and defenses, I'm pretty sure the nights would be the same. Night time is not even a challenge. It's simply impossible. No matter what weapon you have, if more than one zombie agros on you, you're dead.
The next night after the screenshot above, a zombie that spawned directly below me in the house and then proceeded to rip apart my kitchen. My options are jump down and fight to my inevitable death or just wait it out as they destroy the house. Infuriating.

Ahoy Survivalists, Our Massive Alpha 9 update is finally here with a multitude of new additions, improvements and fixes here’s the skinny. The biggest addition is our beautiful new Randomly Generated Worlds A.K.A. Randomz-gane which have full gigantic cities, roads, rivers, lakes, cliffs, mountains, roadside and wilderness locations and feature all biome types.
>
We’ve also reworked the entire in game GUI with new Art, Truetype fonts and many new features including fog of war, waypoints, friend tracking and recipe search. If that wasn’t enough we’ve added some major Buff System enhancements including, Broken Legs, Sprained Legs, Dysentery, Drowning, Concussions and First Aid Kits.
>
We’ve also including new rendering enhancements including soft shadows and underwater effects. In addition the player can now craft a full cloth armor set and use scrap iron build and upgrade forts. Folks this update is jammed packed with features!
Day 63: The 7 day wave managed to take out some of the reinforced concrete outer wall. We learned that barbed wire doesn't stop spider zombies and nearly caused us a problem.
Day 66: The 2nd floor overlook / zombie killing platforms have been created and tested. Mind the fall, you will break your leg. Food and water are now created on our garden (care of @BobbyDigi) in such surplus that we can now venture out, exploring the world looking for exotic materials and recipes. Perhaps we may find something to live for in this apocalyptic world.

I've lost many hours of my life to this game this week. Good lord is it hard to survive the first night.
Lynx stands on couches.
Look how inconsiderate I am. wtf.
Would be happy to try this again. Many patches.
It has become HARD.
I've got a server running at home, with something like a 15 player cap. If memory servers the public dns looks something like:
ic-east-coast.asuscomm.com , port 25000
[spoiler] pw: icrontic
(wtf how do i spoiler tag)[/spoiler]
Setup is mostly 'stock', but I did tweak the air drop rate to be more frequent since its a fun and distracting mechanic. Any feedback welcome.
fixed
That's wha.....
Ah, never mind. Too easy.
This is where I am at in this game

Fuck.
Jimmeh works in our water hole while some local citizens watch.
Not a bad mining haul, if I do say so myself. It only took three days!
Friends for life... and then death... and then death again
Peaceful night
