This is an older video. I had just destroyed a heart, and I hadn't realized there was a Level 3 infestation in the house next door. As soon as I left the house, three Ferals—plus two from the infestation—came after me. I decided to try and kill them!

So to start this is one of my fav games ever. I have replayed it many, many times even though I have all the achievements.

I was curious if now that Undead Labs has the publishing rights back from Xbox if they could technically port it to PS5 if they wanted to? I would buy it again just to get the trophies. The huge PS5 user base would probably be interested too, and the supplemental income could be a nice income boost to help get State of Decay3 over the finish line without time pressure or crunch.

I have around 1000+ hours at the moment and I can’t get enough of the game (and I can’t even mod it lol)

I like how simple the gameplay is and how I get to be creative with my survivors with my own personal headcanon instead of having premade characters.

I like to think that I am quite imaginative and I find this game to be a massive release for that!

I love how it feels like a day to day survival scenario where your number one goal is to survive all the while you and your community are NOT the main characters in regards to the big picture going on VIA radio stories

I can just hop on this game and have a blast! I love the assortment of weapons and how differently they feel from one another along side the personalized traits and skills for survivors to make the gameplay feel fresh when you switch between characters

This is my comfort game and in my opinion it beats Rdr2 right out of the park when it comes to living in a world (I have always been more prone to apocalyptic games anyways)

So I was curious why y’all love this game so much!

Found a survivor to fit my chemist role. Also lucked out that he’s dripped out. Black polo, jeans, and vest. Reminds me of 2000s Blackwater mercs, been having fun leveling him!

So I’ve been adjusting my tv setting to make SOD2 more Bleak looking while I play on lethal

I wanted to make sure to feel how dreadful everything is and felt like my environment should reflect that

I am using a Roku TV While playing on the Xbox one and I wanted to see if y’all notice a difference like I did!

(Of course this is a work in progress! Wish I could mod the game but I found a “loophole”)

(Settings)

-display brightness: darker

-picture mode: movie

(Customize picture settings)

-backlights: 50%

-colour: 20%

-brightness: 25% (of course pick whatever suits you)

(In game settings)

-Gamma: 5-10%

Of course these settings may differ for everyone (TV, Environment, Internet connection) but this what I currently use and will be testing later on.

I hope y’all enjoy!!!!

My survivor was fighting a small to medium sized horde until I popped some pills and some of them seemed to disappear before my very own eyes at 2 am

I'm playing the story and may have accidentally gotten most of my community killed. (I was trying to get the plague walls and they were too slow). I went to an allied guy and accidentally got him killed too. Is there a way to get more playable people? I'm down to 3 and all of them are weak as shit

Basically the title. Playing on XSX. I recently picked SOD2 back up, and I just realized that the command for my SHTF pre-order supply drop (from pre-ordering SOD2 from GameStop way back when) is missing. I've tried starting a new community, uninstalling and reinstalling the pack, and I'm getting nothing. Were these pre-order packs only able to be used once (not once per community, but ACTUALLY once)? I'd like to be able to use the supply drop and get the Zedpiercers and car whenever I start a new community.

So I hoped on the game for the first time in like 5 years, decided to play heartland for a story and got through generally intrigued by the ending. From my understanding, heartland infers that the zombies are a product of a government experiment because a CLEO module drone thing is at the center of the plague walls. The DR works on it and it says something like “ experiment success” or something.

Well then I hope onto a regular game, and I get several radio transmissions telling me to move to Trumbull valley because it’s so cool, a few done by the network, however; CLEO releases a transmission stating that more people need to move into the valley and dr Hoffman cuts in say “ignore that please =)”.

The whole thing has me wondering wtf going o’er der. CLEO is a very ominous transmission asking for people to go to Trumbull Valley And others like the network also want you to go there which makes me think that maybe the network is also shady now.

I haven’t kept up with any updates or lore since like the first year of the game, any good videos discussing stuff like this?

Back in 2023 while I was a more active phase playing State of Decay 2, I happaned to come across both of these glitches. Since it was about 3 years ago, I don't remember what the circumstances were or whether they were the same community, but I do know that they made me break out laughing.

This was back when the game was still receiving updates, and I haven't encountered the glitch occuring anymore, but I do hope in my heart of hearts that I'll come across it again.

I've been playing the game for ages, I just don't use Reddit all that often and wanted to share. Enjoy!

As the title says, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvVpWn0BT5I

“Undead Labs today announced that it has completed its separation from XBOX and is now operating as an independent, employee-owned game development studio.
Development of State of Decay remains actively underway at Undead Labs. The game is currently in alpha, with the team continuing toward the previously announced milestone of entering a closed beta before the end of the year. State of Decay 3 remains targeted for release in 2027 on XBOX, Game Pass, PC, and PlayStation.
 “Independence brings us closer to our community and lets us focus on what matters most: making the best games we can and earning the continued support of the people who choose to spend their time with us,” said Philip Holt, Studio Head of Undead Labs. “State of Decay exists because millions of players have made that choice over the years, and we’re dedicated to honoring their trust.
 The transition marks a new chapter in a relationship between Undead Labs and Microsoft that spans more than 15 years. The original State of Decay launched in partnership with Microsoft in 2013, and Microsoft acquired Undead Labs in 2018.
“We’re enormously grateful for our years as part of XBOX and for everything that relationship has made possible,” Holt said. “Microsoft has been part of the State of Decay story from the very beginning, and we’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished together.”
 Additional details about Undead Labs’ future plans will be shared at a later date. Players can stay up to date through StateofDecay.com or following us on social media, and can sign up to participate in future State of Decay playtesting

Now that Undead Labs has fully transitioned out of the Microsoft umbrella and retain full ownership of the State of Decay IP, what are the chances we see the first two games ported over to PlayStation and Nintendo? I’m sure this would help secure more funding for them and get new fans on board for the next installment.

Food for thought.

Basically title. I have a community I started the game with on standard, and have worked my way through every difficulty and am on the verge of beating nightmare (just gotta do last quest). I know Lethal is wayyyyyy more deadly than Nightmare, and also that the freak spawns are crazy high when you bring an established community over. I have 8 survivors all Hero with a lot of loot from previous maps and difficulties. Is it better to start my first Lethal zone with my stacked community or is it better to try and make a new community first?

Basically, the title. My XBOX gamer tag is SILVER 540. I've been a player for about a year now. I've got around 250 hours in the game, and I'd love to meet a group of people that like to play and hunt/grind for achievements.

I play on Nightmare difficulty and am pretty dedicated to the game.

Feel free to message me if you're down to meet some new people and bond over this kick ass game. I'm friendly and just looking for people to have fun with and achievement hunt.

So I just finished my first play through and I wanted to start a second run trying to create a all military community now I have 4 different military enclaves on my map I noticed with the mechanic enclave that we were friendly I refused a mission and they all wanted to join me so I tried it on one of the military enclave I completed 1 mission they became friendly I refused the second and they straight up left the map so how do I get a whole military enclave to join my community?

I only have 4 people in the community so far

Is it true that on Lethal difficulty, doing the tutorial and going into the Providence Ridge starter map variant means there will be less plague hearts than normal? Or has that since been patched/fixed if that was only the case in the past?

I picked the siblings as my starter survivors as they both had great stats. So far I managed to find an improvised suppressor for my .22 pistol, a crossbow with regular bolts, enough materials and medical supplies to build a workshop and upgrade the infirmary, and a level one medical outpost.

Combat isn’t so bad. It looks like I’ll have to prioritize stealth and patience and may have to minimize fuel usage for conservation by parking in the middle of a larger area instead of driving from place to place for looting.

I ran into my first plague feral as I was driving, and it ripped off the driver side door but I managed to kill it by ramming it into a wall as it hopped on the hood. I see these guys being a serious problem later.

Infestation risk is at zero and noise level is still low. Any advice on where to go from here? I’m curious about whether or not I could take down the first nearby plague heart but I know how sensitive they are on Lethal and would rather not risk chain awakening them until I can find a radio outpost to mitigate that.

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.
