Unpack your bolt and nail boxes. Most boxes do not come with the full 20 pieces, yet take up the same space as 2 stacks of 10. You also cannot add bolts or nails to boxes, so you essentially carry less items for the same amount of space.
Better cutting items yield more resources. A metal axe gives more than a stone axe, hacksaw gives more than an axe, and a chainsaw gives more than a hacksaw. For rags the stone knife gives less than a proper knife, and a knife gives less than scissors. with the right equipment you will do more production in less time. When filling the tool requirement for construction use your worst tools so that your best tools can be used longer.
Drop the seeds. Farming is a thing you work on after you make a base. Farming takes a lot of preparation to get up and running. You need water, so you have to build a well and wait for the well to fill up. You need multiple packs of fertilizer, anti fungal, and pesticide. The plants need constant monitoring and take time to produce. The plant growth cycle is effected by what zone you are in, and a zones temperature effects weather the plants can grow at all. Work on a base and getting a vehicle before you think about farming.
Searching puppets is great if you are leveling up your perception skill but the items they carry are often in to poor of shape and cannot be repaired past 50%. Ammo found on them is of such poor quality that it will cause jams in firearms. I personally avoid searching them unless I am desperate. Be mindful of your items condition. Once the condition gets below 50% you may not be able to repair them to 100%.
