What's in it is scary. How about killing the church for seven days and settling down?

You'd better not. The church is defenseless. If there is no ghost town in your game at first (some MODS don't have 00 cities), you'd better find a higher building to settle down, and then run to the roof to settle down. If you have patience, you can add a cabin on the roof and live in it yourself. You can mix like this in the early stage. When you have a better gun or motorcycle, you can start looking for big cities.
