Once we started using hour heads it got much easier.
1. Go dig up Coal and Nitrates.
2. Make a Blunderbuss.
3. Go looting as a group
4. Do just run around like you own the place. Start sneaking in and get the sneak bonuses to your shots.
A Blunderbuss is pipe, glue and wood. Ammo is Gunpowder, Rock and Paper. There is no reason not to have one over a spear. The Pipe and Glue is the hard part but you can get pipe from any sink. For glue we need bones. Dig up the stuff to make gunpowder (even unproductively without an Alchemy station). It only cost 1 pipe to repair.
They aren't as limitless as stone spears but if you are with someone else with one they are very effective. If you solo they are a waste of your time and you will just lose them (they don't shoot fast enough for you to survive solo). You are better off with stone weapons.
You have to sneak now or you will get overwhelmed. Even in a big group. Slamz, Vera and I were crouched going into every room. That helped a lot in speeding up the clearing process.
Last night felt like a real survival game finally.
