. I didn't know about the friends list... being able to jump into the same world as a a friend is a great touch. I was amazed when I saw you arrive!

Haha, yes, I was wandering around the map looking for a place to build my new pad (more on this below) when I stumbled across that other camp.

It was a lot of fun traveling about and checking out different locations! I'm unsure about the loot aspect; if one person finds stuff in, say, a locker, is that locker then empty for other people that you're with? I realised that I may have been picking up too much stuff instead of sharing it
. Our team-up was also a great chance for me to practice aiming with the gun. Before, I'd tended to stick with a melee weapon 'cos my shooting was terrible, but I got a bit better last night

You can either "scrap" or "store" things you have already built. Storing things lets you reuse them for free, but even when stored they still take up budget. Scrapping things will earn you back 50% of the materials you spent to build the item. So you're better off storing if you can, but sometimes you have to scrap to make room in the budget.
Uh-oh... I have made a big mistake. I scrapped nearly *everything* in my camp, thinking that I was getting all of the materials back... not just 50%
. I gotta make a new camp from fresh tonight and so I guess I'll have to start a bit smaller this time
