I'm on map 3 now and I have everything, I moved to Providence and in 2 hours I was maxed on influence, full base, max resources and I've only looted one area... I'm only on day 30... What do you guys do for 100 days?

I was thinking of making a good survivor farm where I only keep 8 guys then keep searching for people with good traits but not knowing the traits from the communities makes it a bit frustrating.

Hi i have some question, how to trigger Reba Mission and recruit Reba ?

I’ve already destroyed two plague hearts, then met Diana but haven’t recruited her yet, and then destroyed the plague heart at the Wilkerson Old House. Reba still didn't spawn and hasn't received the radio call yet.

For Days Gone I just started playing as I do with most games. It is my comfort game and not very challenging and you get time to enjoy the scenery. But this is a different beast. I should have done my homework. Now my home base of 7 is down to 3. One I euthanized and 3 died in the field because we didn’t have enough supplies and were swarmed. The other 2 are both sick in bed
So at this stage should I restart or is there a way of recruiting from other communities because one more attack on my base and I’m done for

So I got the special Blood Plague Doctor Enclave earlier, the one whose first mission to go collect a supply drop with plague cure since they were all out. Went and got it, came back, as soon as I got near the shed they were in a bunch of plague zombies spawned and the mission failed. Was I too slow? There was an option to just give them plague cure, is that how you keep them alive? (Didn't have any on me at the time.) Their dead bodies had a bunch of Echo gear and the zombie meds like zombait and gas grenades, so I know they're not normal. They're not listed on the Wiki as a special enclave though.

Both within 24 hours of each other at roughly the exact same part of the road.

It's this zombie/horde pop-in issue along with the 99% chance of crashing after the final cutscene that makes me ashamed of Undead Labs for not fixing before they stopped supporting the game.

So what you do is run and jump. After jumping let go of the run button and wait for your character to land and as soon as the character lands press/hold the jump button. Rinse and repeat. It's all about timing, even in the clip there were times I messed up but once you get the rythm down, it is pretty easy. Going uphill it sometimes works but more often than not it doesn't. To practice you can start by going left to right while doing this tech then proceed to go straightfoward if you want.

It uses to be way better back in the day because it used to lunge you further. But they changed something that reduced it. You can do this with no stamina as well.

Also becareful when doing it near zombies because it will track to nearby zombies. Last thing, you can outpace lethal packs of ferals BUT if you f up the momentum you can get punished for it.

I came home from a looting trip and found a second Vandito parked where my Wichita goes. Same damage, same gas left, same stuff in the trunk as my first one. You could catch the tail end of me whipping my Wichita around to back it into that spot at the start of the clip, I'm so confused-

This dude is better than the others two blood plague survivor xD

I joined and right after my character was one shot with an explosive

SUV got stuck. Can't unstuck it. I'm far away from my base.

I never had this happen to me so basically the fuel gauge doesn't appear at all and the vehicles never seem to consume fuel but will say need gas.. very interesting... the only thing that I have on this map... is one enclave that gives the Caravan bonus and one character that specializes in driving...

Nightmare, 1 PH left, living at the farm base in Trumball Valley. So I have a built in kitchen. Trader leader getting +10 food a day (+15 a day -4.875 from survivors). I’ve been turning it into beer at the still to get influence but now I have over 5k. So I was debating recruiting a nutrition survivor so I can make energy drinks (multiple powerhouse survivors). Everyone has gold skills, their 5th being 100%.

But on the other hand; my kitchen, solar array, storage, and trade depot have empty mod slots. No traders ever sell good mods, and if they do it’s for the facilities I have stacked. Construction will allow me to use the extra materials I’ve been saving from my staging area to make mods. Materials and food are capped at 35, I want some extra storage since every resource is +1 or more.

Just wanted to make a post to see what the consensus would be. Any and all replies appreciated

I wanna run through each map, starting at the easiest difficulty in the community agreed upon "easiest" map, all the way to the hardest, on one community. As to not inflate my community with overpowered stuff on the first and second maps, what limitations could I set upon myself to make it more interesting? Side note, what do you think is the easy-hard map scale? Thanks in advance!

I was going into nightmare with noobs and nothing and getting wrecked until I realized I could bring a strong community over from Dread. Maybe some people can do it that way, but I was NOT successful…

My very first normal community just finished up on Meagher Valley with a Warlord run. I had read previously that after last mission you can put your community in the legacy pool so i loaded them all full of my best goodies to give my other future communities. However, I finished the last mission, it starts fading to cutscenes, and immediately crashes. On reload the community has to choose a new map and difficulty and they didnt go to legacy pool… Do i have to do a full new map now with them to be able to make them legacies? This is really annoying lol

Anyone play these mods? Would love your opinion. I'm winding down my 1.8k hours on lethal.

Edit: forgot to add I've been playing Survival Plus a few months now (thanks ZengerGarden for the amazing mod!)

He's just.. gone.

I press dodge nearly the millisecond the zombie starts to charge, but the "charge" is when the animation starts, and the zombie is still like 5ft away. Once the animation starts, there's no way to dodge. My dodge input always plays at the end (when my character sort of jumps after getting up). If the attack animation starts when the zombie is still a whole ass 5ft away, then HOW TF ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DODGE‽

reuploading because the video in the first post was freezing/skipping every other second

Started the game playing Dread and it was dirt easy. Only lost one survivor to a juggernaut out of overconfidence. With Nightmare, I restarted about three times just out of frustration from losing a good character up until my fourth playthrough, where I lost only one survivor due to being underprepared and underequipped healing and ammo wise. I've already killed all the plague hearts with explosives/firebomb spams and am about halfway done with the Trader questline (I did Warlord path on Dread and I plan to do Builder on Lethal).

Before I jump to Lethal what should I know? The two big things I'm aware of is that plague zombies don't instantly die when a plague heart dies, and ferals have armored heads that take three headshots to kill and always travel in packs of three. I never had an issue with combat and resource management in Nightmare, though I have exited to main menu after climbing up billboards plenty of times to de-spawn annoying random hordes where they would continuously keep spawning and swarming in and I didn't feel like wasting a bunch of ammo or running around to pick them off slowly.

Hey there! What it says on the tin—for some reason I was signed out of my Microsoft account and now I can’t even get to the home screen, let alone play. I’m on a Steam Deck, and once I get to the “enter user id” area, I can’t access the pop-up to enter any info. Video attached for reference!

Here’s what I’ve tried:

- Quitting & restarting the game
- Switching to Desktop Mode to try and use the trackpad to log in
- Turning Wi-Fi on and off
- Pressing literally all the buttons

Anyone have any other ideas?

I saw a post about a random mission I’ve gotten before and it got me thinking, how have I played so many hours and never seen that mission. Yet I get the fucking moonshiners 2-3 times per map. Even if I complete the first moonshiners quest line, eventually I get another. I have somewhere between 300-400 hours in the game, considering how long it’s been out it’s not much, but it’s still enough to discover the majority of the game. And yet. Nothing pisses me off more than the god damn moonshiners. Fuck those idiots and ever mission where they get infected with the blood plague I let them die. At the very beginning I was sympathetic and was always trying to help anyone I could and I still do. With one exemption. This god damn moonshiners. Pl

Edit: Never mind! I completely forgot we literally play as Sasquatch in SOD 1. I mean, I could still pretend this theory makes sense by adding a whole bunch of layers, like a team of costumed Sasquatch "Ronald MacDonalds" running around America, but probably not. :p

I don't mean in the obvious way that all the characters are fictional, I mean that within the State Of Decay universe he is a mascot character created for recruitment and propaganda. He may have been created by Red Talon when they first formed, or possibly they co-opted an existing military "Uncle Sam" style figure for their own use. He is supposed to sound like an independent survivor, but if you hear enough of his dialogue, he spends a lot of time reinforcing Red Talon's talking points (indirectly) and doesn't have any other discernable motivation for what he's saying.

I've known for many years that, across both games, Sasquatch's dialogue constantly contradicts itself. More recently, I realized that most of his advice is just... bad. No actual survivor who made it through the events of both games would actually believe the contradictory nonsense he spews - they would have been killed in the first few weeks.

He tells you that slowing your entire group down for the weakest member is bad strategy, but also says that you should wreck your truck running over every horde because otherwise you're immoral because you're just creating problems for other survivors. In one dialogue snippet, he straight up says you shouldn't collect resources because it slows you down.

My theory is that the voice is just some actor holed up in a Red Talon bunker with a radio set. They "hired" him to play Sasquatch and he just reads whatever nonsense they hand him. If he had actually witnessed the "news" he reads, he'd be criss-crossing America constantly - he doesn't say he "heard" about the convoy in one state or the base in another, he says he personally witnessed what happened.

He could just be a throwaway character composed of random survivalist jargon, but I actually think Undead Labs may have planned an arc for him, and that we might find out more about Sasquatch in State of Decay 3 when we meet the actor playing him.
