Welcome to AffenBiss AffenBiss is coded in-house instead of a pile of mods: our own bank, our own claims, our own events. This covers everything that differs from the normal game. Search on the left or start here.
Your first day →
Your first day The first steps, so you don't start from zero after your first death.
How it works Check your starter kit: school bag, club with saw blade, hunting knife, flashlight with battery, water, food, bandages and a note. No money included. Find the AffenBiss button in the left sidebar: profile, leaderboards, claims, vehicles, tickets, FAQ and this guide. Find a house and claim it: right-click the house, "Claim house". Free up to 20 x 20 tiles. Claim a car, even without a key. Then nobody can steal it.Collect cash without shuffling items: right-click a corpse, wallet or bag, Take cash . Grabs it all at once into your inventory. Deposit any cash you find at an ATM . Cash stays on your corpse when you die, your account doesn't. Vote every 2 hours: 10 to 50 $ to your account plus a package.Good to know After logging in you get 10 seconds of login protection from zombies (green countdown above your head). On your first death you keep 80 % of your skills (journal, works automatically). The AffenBiss menu ← Welcome to AffenBiss The AffenBiss menu →
What your body needs Zombies aren't the only thing that kills you. Keep an eye on the small icons on the right edge of the screen: they show how you're doing. Hover over one to see what's going on.
Good to know Food and drink: Fresh food spoils fast, canned food lasts almost forever (bring a can opener or a knife). Tap water and power won't last forever. Collect bottles early and catch rain. Unboiled water from a pond or barrel makes you sick.Sleep and mood: Tired survivors hit worse and see less. Sleep in a safe, locked room. Boredom and sadness drag your mood down: books, music and good food help.Weight: Carrying too much makes you slow and exhausted. Bags and backpacks hold more when you wear them or carry them in your hands. Fetch heavy stuff like planks and metal by car.← The AffenBiss menu Understanding zombies →
Understanding zombies Zombies hear you and see you. Quiet and careful survivors live longer.
Good to know Noise attracts: Gunshots, car alarms, smashed windows, loud music: anything that makes a racket pulls in zombies from all around. Quiet beats fast. Press C to sneak.Nights are dangerous: On our server zombies are really active at night, and then about one in ten is a sprinter. During the day they shamble slower. Plan your trips for daytime and be back before dusk.A bite is serious: A bite infects you, and the infection is usually fatal. So never fight several at once and don't get surrounded. AffenBiss has a rare Knox vaccine, see "Making the Knox vaccine".← What your body needs Fighting without dying →
Fighting without dying Hold the right mouse button to aim, left to swing. Space shoves a zombie away. Once it's on the ground, stomp it. One enemy at a time.
Good to know Endurance: Every swing costs energy. Out of breath, you hit weaker and move slower. Back off before you run out, and fight at doors and corners rather than in the open street.Weapons break: Every melee weapon wears down, hover over it to see its condition. Always carry a spare. Guns are strong but loud: one shot in town brings half the town.← Understanding zombies Treating injuries →
Treating injuries Press H to open the health panel. Right-click a body part to see what you can do.
Good to know Stop the bleeding: Bandage bleeding wounds right away, a ripped piece of clothing works as a bandage. Disinfecting (alcohol, disinfectant) keeps the wound from getting infected.Glass, bullets, fractures: If glass or a bullet is stuck in the wound, pull it out with tweezers. Broken bones need a splint made from a plank or stick plus a bandage, then lots of rest.Rest heals: Eating, drinking and sleeping well makes wounds heal faster. Change bandages regularly, dirty bandages cause infections.← Fighting without dying Loot and base →
Loot and base Kitchens have food, bathrooms have medicine, garages and sheds have tools. Open cupboards, fridges and crates nearby, their contents show up in the loot window on the right. Press M for the map.
Good to know A safe home: Pick a house on the edge of town, not right in the centre. Close the curtains, board up windows with planks and nails, shut the doors. Here on AffenBiss you claim your house so no stranger gets in: see "Claim a house".Plan ahead: Build rain barrels, collect seeds, look for a generator. If you think about water and food early, winter won't scare you.← Treating injuries Getting better →
Getting better Every skill grows when you use it: carpentry when building, cooking at the stove, aiming when shooting. Press L to see your progress and levels.
Good to know Read books first: Skill books multiply the experience you get, but only if you read them before practising. Volume 1 covers levels 1 and 2, volume 2 levels 3 and 4, and so on.Magazines and TV: Magazines teach recipes, for example for traps, repairs or weapon care. Early on the TV is worth it too: some shows give experience as long as there's power.← Loot and base Tips for Build 42 →
Tips for Build 42 AffenBiss runs on Build 42. If you know Build 41, a few things are new.
Good to know It's dark: Nights and houses without power are pitch black. A flashlight, lighter or lantern belongs in your bag. In the dark you spot zombies late.Crafting with stations: Many recipes need a workbench, an oven or a forge. The crafting window shows what you're still missing for a recipe.Learning recipes: You don't know many recipes from the start. You learn them from magazines, through your profession or once the skill is high enough.New crafts: Blacksmithing, pottery, masonry, carving, glassmaking and stone tools: with enough time you can make almost anything yourself.Animals: Chickens, cows, sheep and more can be kept. They need food, water and a pen. In return you get eggs, milk, wool and meat.Empty-handed: No axe? Stones and branches make simple tools and weapons. Good enough to start with until you find better stuff in a garage.← Getting better All ways compared →

Claim a houseA claim is your property: nobody can touch anything there without your okay. House plus a 2-tile border, sheds included.
Claim a carNobody else can start a claimed car, strip parts or siphon fuel. You don't need a key for this.
ATMOne account per player, no card or PIN. Both characters share it. Your balance survives death.
