I agree that this is a very survivalist map - the player needs to watch their pollution, resources are scarce and building huge, sprawling bases is not an option. Many players w...

If you make yourself some 70 normal bullets and build 18 walls, you ...

You will have to use a sub-machine gun and armour piercing bullets (about 40 clips) in conjunction with building a tiny (3-by-3 or 4-by-4) walled-off area around yourself (once you have provoked the medium biters).
