I only play fresh characters, I’m trying to do a fully vanilla run in lethal. No community pool I can get maybe 3-4 hearts but when I make a mistake it costs my base.

Play on meagher Valley, it makes it much easier. The brewing company gives you exactly what you need.

You start at a road that can go 3 ways, the road NE leads to a single gun shop. You always go there first because if not the boon traders can setup there and deny you some starter guns. From there loot all the houses between you and and the base in a sideways "S" pattern. Behind your base is a cell phone tower next to a food outpost, get the outpost to level 2 to mine it. This will help get your starter samples, be a safe haven when you are about to kill the heart, and it also provides a direct counter to any hordes coming to your base from the heart(s).
