The Million Dollar Line

The Million Dollar Line is designed for hardened players who want the ultimate challenge. Be one of the few people that can say they have visited every tier 0 to 5 POI.

Instead of simply surviving indefinitely, the aim is to push through 766 POIs in order, take on points of interest, gather resources, manage risk, manage your inventory, and finish with a total cash value of at least one million dollars.

You will need to survive the horde nights on whatever prefab you end up on as you move through the line. Pick wisely!

"Make Money Or Die Trying"

• Start a fresh run using the latest version of The Million Dollar Line.
• Use all default game settings. Any changes are made by the mod.
• Settings that some players may wish to increase (not decrease) are Difficulty Settings and Blood Moon Count.
• An autoplay instructional video will only play the first time you spawn into a new game.
• You will need to complete the standard starter quests. You do not have to meet a trader or complete a dig quest.
• Travel through each POI via the north or south teleport line. You cannot move over or under it.
• Once you have travelled through the teleport line, you cannot move back.
• If you move beyond the red line on the east or west of the POI, you will die instantly.
• Do whatever you can to make the highest amount of money by the end of the line.
• Every 10 POIs, you will meet a trader.
• Dollar bills and Dukes have been swapped. Dukes can be scrapped into brass or sold to the trader.
• Cash can stack to $50,000 and can be bundled like meat in packets of $50,000.
• You can claim to have completed the challenge if you make $1 million and use that to purchase the winner’s trophy at the end of the line.
• 766 POIs cover 36 km in-game over six 6 km lines that travel up and down the map.
• The default challenge allows players to place a bedroll at the start of each 6 km line. If you die, you will need to make the walk of shame.
• Players also have the option to spawn on their backpack if they wish, or play permadeath if they want to show off.
• If you choose to spawn on a bedroll or backpack, all nearby zombies will be removed from play; unless you are playing multiplayer and are not the hosting player.
• Map overlay settings have been added to the standard game to help you plan your travels through the line.
• If you choose to, you can pass straight through a POI and ignore it.
• An addition to this challenge is the Collectable Dollar Bill. These have a base value of $200.
• You are given an extra-large backpack. Yet, when travelling the line, space will still be at a premium.
• Vehicles have been left in the game, as you may wish to make and sell one. Vehicles do not successfully travel through the teleport line.
• Blood Moon zombies will always spawn from the east and west of the player.
• Airdrops will fall directly on the player, wherever they are standing when the plane passes.
• Treasure maps can be read, and the digging circle will always appear directly at your feet.
• Ammo can be bundled like meat in packets of 100.
• If you want a forge, workbench, etc., you will need to carry it with you. Make a land claim block to pick it back up each time. The land claim pickup sound has been nerfed to save your hearing.
• This overhaul includes PGz Storms Brewed, which is a mod that allows you to be out during a storm in all biomes. During a storm, the weather will restrict your vision, change the temperature, and reduce your run speed. You can complete biome quests and make the relevant headgear to remove the debuffs.
• This challenge requires dedication. It is estimated that if you loot and harvest every POI, you may end up reaching day 400+.
• Screamer spawn rate is default. PGz has not increased this game mechanic. When moving from POI to POI and wrenching a lot of items, expect more screamers than you may be used to.
• At the final trader, you will be able to purchase the winning trophy and complete the challenge.
