Guide:Surviving

Please Note that you may play Radiant Residents how you want to. It's entirely up to you how to play the game. This is just a guide for those who want a tutorial and quick overview of the game or anything of the sort.
This page will be for a guide on how to survive the apocalyptical waste land. This guide will be for 1 - 5 players. This guide is only for the endings. (Will be updated in the future for the late game guide)
== 1. 60-Second Section ==
At the start of the 60-Second Section, grab as many items as you can. Send 1 or 2 people out to find and look for the Gas Mask and the Backpack. Also send one to focus on flashlights as these can only be obtained in the starter house. The rest will gather food, duct tape, soap, water, blueprints, map of the town, basically anything they can get their hands on, shove it in the locker. You would want to try to prioritize items that are hard to get on Expeditions. Try to get as much things as possible before the 60-Seconds runs out. Here's a list of items you would want to possibly have. 
====== For Endings: ======
Battery for the Into The Future Ending
====== For Survival: ======
Must Have: Gas Mask & Backpack
Prioritize: Medkits, Food, Water, & Soap
Optional but will help: RatTraps, Bug Spray, Flashlights, Duct Tape, & The Map.
Optional: Weapons (Baseball bat & axe), Blueprint, Toolbox, & Toys.
== 2. The Basement & Going On Expeditions ==
At The Basement you are now in the main gameplay loop of Radiant Residents. The main strategy is to survive until you're open for an ending. But that is difficult with all the creatures and Hostile NPCs that will come. You surely will need to go on a expedition. You're open to many choices now, but you are also open to immense danger. There will be problems in the bunkers that you will have to attend to (Broken pipes, Low Power, etc.). You will have to take care of your hygiene, food consumption and water consumption in order to survive. 
=== 2.1: Day 1 Expedition ===
If you're lacking resources or need more, you can always go on an expedition. Since it is still the first day, there won't be much threat. However, you still must be careful as you could end your run here. It is advised to bring a weapon that is preferably not the stick on the expedition as the stick is the worst weapon in the game. See the location you are going to an expedition to for a deeper guide.
=== 2.2: Staying alive ===
In The Basement, you will get ambushed by many creatures and NPCs. You will have to persevere and get a weapon(s) via. the computer (emails). Fix any problems in the bunker and fend off incoming problems.
=== 2.3: Day Guide ===
Day 1: Sleep or wait. Set up rat traps if you want to, or go on an expedition if you're low on resources.
Day 2: Check your email for possible weapon trades or buffs to your basement
Day 3 - 6: Get either the Syringe, Crowbar, and/or Skeleton Mace.
Days 6 and onward: Fend off the monsters and NPCs while fixing all the problems in the bunker. You may go on an expedition at any day. Wait for an opportunity to get an ending. 
== 3: Endings ==
At the moment there is only two endings, Into The Future & Alien Saviors. See Into The Future and Alien Saviors for tips on those, respectively.
== 4. The Beginning of Late Game: ==
If you went for the Into The Future ending and met the Future Scientist and got his Laser Sword, this is a good time for a Late Game run as the Laser Sword is the best weapon in the game.
(TUTORIAL FOR LATE GAME WILL BE ADDED IN THE FUTURE) IT HAS COME!!!!!!

This strat will consist of 2-4 players. This strategy will not be for endings (I learned this strat from current #1 leaderboard player "as of feb 9 2024" ) This contains Glitches rng and no rng versions con-current version 1.0 (Useful guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9exJUjEE0 credits to him)
In the 60 second section you focus on flashlights, backpack, gas mask, blueprint, radio, map, a weapon (preferably axe), and tool box. If you don't get all these (but duct tape), go to the neighborhood. (if you didn't get flashlights, restart)
After the 60 second section you will proceed to send everyone but one person to go out to grocery. That one person will spam sleep till they run out resources. Ignore all broken pipes etc. (glitch version) If you want the run to be easier do the vent glitch proceed to spam open/close one vent with 2 people. You have to time it and after a bit you stop and if it says close vent and it's closed you have done it correctly. (Do this at the start before going on an expedition if you plan on doing this.) Once people go on expeditions the person that stayed spam sleeps, and the people that are out loot preferably duct tape and low resources. Once they have a full inventory they go back to the exit and camp. (unless really low) Do not roll any rng based things like grandma and wheel. (even if doing rng strat) once they spam sleep to day 10-15 the people expeditioning go back. Make sure to keep vault defenses up and firewall. "upgrades to get firewall protection, vent co. (if not glitch strat)" Keep doing this until day 20-25 sleeping 10-15 times every time u sleep. (If in danger make the others come back if ur low) "rng/ glitch part" When you reach around day 20 you use the v-pose glitch to hyper speed. (Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aboD68gQM8w) Once you do that, go somewhere (like neighborhood) and run around and get the stuff there you need.
