I’ve been trying off and on for years and I always ragequit when that one zombie hits the tent area for the 20th time in a row after an hour of the early game
There’s a technique you can do called a “scratching post” by the community. It helps to deal with the “single zombie ruining everything” situations.
If you have an isolated building, like a sawmill or cottage, or a space at the edge of a patrol where zombies can still get through if the timing is right you can place a single wood wall down just between the structure and the horde. Zombies will always prioritize attacking nearby walls over other structures so it will give you an extra moment to get some troops to the area before things get out of hand. Just keep in mind that zombies slapping on a wall will make noise that attracts more zombies over, but it it will buy you an extra moment to react.
Same, friend. I severely underestimated how tight you had to keep your patrols in the beginning. One stray zombie turns into a hundred instantly.
I legitimately needed to put the game down for a month or two in the beginning because the learning curve was so frustrating for me.

So the mutants will come to kill me
It’s cool if you just want to complain, the game’s frustrating, but don’t make a post titled ‘help’ if you don’t actually want help.
Don’t be an asshole, of course I want advice, it’s that I’ve read up on all this and still have no clear course of action
