How can I survive my first night?
Quite often I find myself dying quickly. Just walking in a town scavenging for supplies quickly attracts zombies, and since it's near impossible to shake off zombies, and it takes so many hits from my fists to kill them, I end up quickly dying.
Is there some basics I should understand if I want to survive my first night?

Here is my strategy.
As soon as you spawn, search for a weapon. It can go from a baseball bat to a gun. You do not have any other choice than getting somewhere where there are zombies, thats where the loot is. As soon as you have a weapon you can start cleaning the area (if it wasnt already done with a painfully long and intense moment of punching the undeads) and then find other kind of loot (food, ammo, clothes, etc).
If you cannot find a weapon, try to get in a car, one that is not smoking if possible. Some of them still have gas in them so you can try to kill a bunch of zombies by driving on their face. This is a bit risky because there is not always gas and if there are, its not a lot, but you can easily kill a lot of zombies that way. You can also outrun them if you want, but you lose potential loot.
Once you've got some gear and a good backpack (if you find one), find somewhere where you can build a base. I usually go to one of those farms near one of the town (unfortunatly I do not know any other way to give their position :/ Thats a strategy I developped a few days ago, I am still discovering the game). Those places are not too big and are easy to defend. Plus, you can grow food there by taking seeds from moldy vegetables.
Fortify the place to get used to the game then after that you might want to consider going in multiplayer to get some action or find some fri4end and build the ultimate zombie fortress!
I hope this helps!

My strategy in desperate times.
Sometimes, this is your only option. Especially if you cannot find a weapon. Run straight through the middle of the town, collecting all the zombies (I know, you're about to give up here, but keep reading) And keep them a fair distance behind you. But don't lose them in the town. once you have all the zombies from the town. Start going down the road that leads away from the town. Then you can Sprint away as fast as you can from the zombies. Still heading away from town. Once you've lost them all. make a large circle back. Making sure you do not attract them again once you lost them. And loot the town as you please.
Also a good place to find a melee weapon or backpack is at the Lighthouse, you may spawn there, you may spawn other side of map. but look for a long piece of land sticking out into the ocean. You will probably find it there.
