Thank you for the answers to the plus.  I have found the manual interesting but way too wordy when I need to know what key does what stuff.

Set the camera to follow the characters but to my mind, it doesn't work well and I have used the Q and E keys but sometimes i swing back and forth without being able to centre the camera and it feels a bit like being on boat.

I am finding that it is easy to miss small things that are important and that means that using a top down view is frequently not appropriate.  Got lost in the Ag centre and wandered around in circles a lot till I found out how to switch the fans on and off.  This happened because I was not looking at the walls but only the floor as I moved the guys around.

I found it was easier to save a lot and reload in the ag centre so that my characters never got infected.  With my manoevering issues I didn't want to add the possibility of turning into a zombie because i didn't watch the clock.

Also, it turns out that some skills I didn't bother to invest in are needed at my next stop in the game.  I played the ag centre and the radio tower without paying any attention to the communication skills.  In the Rail Nomad Camp, it appears I need more of them but I don't have the additional skill points yet to invest in them. 

I am enjoying the game generally, though I haven't played in a couple of days and am not feeling like I MUST get back to it, like I have with a number of other games.  It would have been very helpful if it were possible to put notes on the maps of places to return to, at least.  I may need to wait till someone puts a really big walkthrough together that has readable maps in it because of my navigation issues.
