@twitch7515 Жыл бұрын
I feel the same way but thought in the opposite direction, where the center of the map was always a coveted urban area, densely packed with resources, zombies, defensible positions, and friendly/neutral/enemy enclaves. But why not both? I also prefer the idea of being able to turn any cleared outpost into a main base, so that you can choose your location from the start based on strategic location and current or foreseeable community needs. As you accrue supplies you can fortify the main floor and build walls. As your community grows you can expand the size of your walls, possibly enveloping nearby buildings (which could be a cell tower, mechanic's garage, gas station, house, etc.) into your base, or simply expanding your yard to give yourself more outdoor small and large slots. I don't mean to suggest that the game should go all Fallout 4 on us with uber levels of customization. Presets are enough because enemy enclaves will be capturing, fortifying, and growing their territory, too. This would mean that all of the currently-designed bases would be something you can capture as outposts. If you choose to capture them instead of using them as a base, they could be treated as unique/prized outposts, similar to landmarks. Go ahead and capture the Drive-In, even though its location doesn't make it a suitable main base. You instantly gain 2 beds. Upgrade it once to unlock the bonus to morale. Upgrade it again to unlock a small slot. Upgrade it a final time to unlock a large slot. Then assign your crankiest community member to that location for some much needed R&R. Switch to them whenever a quest, enclave, or plague heart pops up in that area. Just make sure to patrol the road(s) between your base and outposts once or twice a week to make sure that hostile units don't cut off supply lines. Having your auto mechanic and engineer work together to build a turret atop your vehicle will help clear the roads and finally make use of those full auto weapons that tend to collect dust. A truck with dual AKs mounted to a rotating turret? Yes please! It is okay to make noise when you'll be gone a second later. Expect to lose some trunk space and fuel efficiency. Or use a generator at your base to charge up an electric vehicle for a stealthier option. Let's throw in a hybrid SUV while my wishlist continues to grow out of control. Speaking of growing... Don't have an engineer to help you build your base efficiently? Assign your gardener, pharmacologist, and pathologist (the latter is the only necessary person, but the other two help speed up the process and use fewer resources) to a lab where they can genetically engineer fast-growing and fast-dying Plague Walls to seal off an alleyway or otherwise create choke points. Have them genetically engineer a way to grow plague hearts, while you're at it, so that you can infest strategically chosen buildings to harass or otherwise make enemy enclaves think twice prior to entering certain areas. Upgrade them further with modified plague samples so that zombies near your plague hearts don't attack your community members. Expect to lose influence with people who don't like zombies in their neighborhood. Of course your pathologist will need to concentrate on their work, so keep their needs met within the safety of your base's walls. Such a valuable member of your community might get kidnapped or otherwise wind up working against you. Red Talon might be especially interested in weaponizing zombies. The Network might be interested in removing a zombie's violent tendencies. With whom will you share your results? Both? Neither? They might just try to take it without your approval.

Being able to Max out all of your communities skills with the movie theater makes it invaluable in my opinion. You really glossed over that part. You can take a person with no skills and Max them without ever having to take control of them. Very useful. Even if you don't stay in the base forever.

@OutdatedLeon3 жыл бұрын
From the way zombie sieges work in SOD2, the roof isn't really that optimal for siege deterrent. If the sieges work like in SOD1 - where multiple hordes spawn on the roads a few blocks away from your base and march slowly towards your base, the roof then can be a good sniping point for picking off these deadheads who slowly come to view. In SOD2, they're doing it like in SOD1:Lifeline; but it's done in a worse way - sieges just spawn zombies in view - right next to your door. In Lifeline, zombies do not spawn that close - they spawn from across the road before zerging to your gate.This means that you will still at least have time to shoot them down from afar - about a few seconds before they reach to your walls. In SOD2, zombies just magically appear two feet from your gate. And if you tried it, you'll find that it's quite difficult to have a clear shot on them on the roof when they're right next to your walls. And yeah, I do miss the old zombie sieges in SOD1. It gives me not only time to prepare but also the clearance to strategize how I'm going to deal with them - do I use my vehicle to drive them over on the street? Or do I stay put in the base and aid my fellow survivors to snipe the zombies? Or I do actively go out and there and lay landmines on the roads? It gives me the freedom to do problem solving other than "guess I'll wait here and shoot my guns".

Once again, dead on, well made and well informed. Great job! If I may, these are my own strategies and thoughts on the Mall. Mileage varies of course: 1. Locating Materials is something that takes 35 Influence (which you can get in minutes of normal gameplay) and will always generate a rucksack. As long as you dont mind going to get it (which is admittedly a pain in Drucker), you never have to worry about materials. Just keep on top of it. 2. There's a Dewitt Van at the restaurant just down the road. Pick it up and put it near the gate as a handy little rucksack storage. 3. I, too, am baffled on why you can't turn the dojo into something else. It's not like its full of anything, just mats and training dummies. 4. Small concern but worth mentioning: this place is a pain to secure upon discovery. There's usually not many zeds inside, but lots of nooks and crannies you have to clear. It's easy to get blindsided by a lurking zed when you are checking back rooms. 5. It might be worth your while to stockpile some ammo before moving in, then go into a big building frenzy to get set up. Then go off and explore. As long as you have 3 ammo to burn each time, you can let your folks at home deal with the sieges at max level. 6. Another drawback is that this place only has one outdoor small slot: if you want a still you need to sacrifice the watchtower: if you dont have a Red Talon watchtower to use instead, this is going to open you up to more sieges. 7. Another possibility is to tear down the bunks and just use outposts for the housing needs. Naturally, this will cost you the White Noise Machine morale bonus (if you have it) 8. Setting up some hydroponics farms, then switching them to meds, and using them to build Plague Cure Cases will make you a fortune. It is, of course, a lot of work and slot sacrifices to do so. 9. Sieges suck at this place if they get into the stores. Then you have to go in there and clean them out, and the other survivors will often linger inside, making it worse. 10. If you are living in this base, I'd recommend The Kaiser as your vehicle of choice. It's very durable, it's pretty fast, it is remarkably nimble, and has decent fuel economy. That makes it a very good car for this map in general which requires so much driving and is inconvenient to repair pit stops. The only thing that will suck is its small trunk space (4 slots). Again, the ranking was just right. I think it speaks volumes that the Starter House ISN'T at the bottom. It's not because the house is so good, it's just the bases in Drucker are so bad. And this map is no fun to navigate, with all the meandering roads, clumped civilization, and the terrain and littered roads giving you many, many places to get stuck with your car. Finally, there's one more perk that should be said for the Mountain Lodge. You have the high ground for sieges. In fact, if you perch yourself on the Northeast ridge just outside the fence, most zombies will spawn at the foot of the mountain and charge uphill, making them sitting ducks, especially against a Gunslinger. Your other survivors should be able to take care of the other fronts.

I've found that in Drucker county, how you build a base is a lot different than in more open maps. There's a distinct benefit to focusing on being material and fuel positive, and using the auto-shop and staging area to their utmost ability. Being materially positive means having access to ammo via a munitions tech, and taking advantage of the auto-shops' active abilities with upgraded vehicles shines in a map where you're stuck to long roads and narrows clogged with hordes.

The Cabin Park motel comes with 3 free beds and an open center area so it is easy to defend against sieges without characters getting stuck/trapped on objects. The 3 free beds is equal to another small facility slot so it is effectively a 5 small slot, 2 large slot base. I like it.
@GitGudFox Жыл бұрын
Thing about beds is all they do is protect you from -7 morale per character. Most players overvalue beds because the game makes you think they're important. Example. 3 Characters without beds = -21 morale. Build 1 shelter with 2 beds now = -7 morale because 2 beds blocks -7 morale for 2 survivors. INSTEAD Build 1 latrine and clean latrine = +9 morale. How? clean latrine is +10 morale x ALL community members. +10 x 3 Survivors = +30 Morale. +30 Morale - 21 Morale from no beds = +9 morale. This is why beds are not good.

I was messing with my upgraded workshop after doing their missions and noticed that I was able to make upgraded tool kits even though my mechanic was an engineer. I was on Cascade Hills when I noticed this though. Could this make or break that facility in the truck stop? Maybe. A lot of the times when I play online with people 80% of them are asking me if the auto shop is a worth while option. A lot of people want upgraded cars and the passives from it, it would seem. I've often told people though, that you should only build it when you want the upgrade kits and if you can't afford them from wandering traders. Then destroy it for a better facility. I still agree with the rating since you can't tear it down when you don't need to use it and don't need the fuel efficiency with so much fuel storage. That and fuel isn't really hard to come by if you actually look for stuff.
@GitGudFox5 жыл бұрын
That's not a bad idea. You'd at least be able to use the autoshop. The problem I have with the autoshop is that it's not really a facility I like to have constructed 24/7. I prefer to build it, use it for the upgrades I need, then tear it down when I'm done with it. If I need it again, I just build it again temporarily.

I don't mind this map, really. The valley was the last map I played, and at first, I hated it, because the roads are so clogged. That, of course, is because I'm so used to having to drive on the roads, lol. I like Mike's Concrete for Drucker County. I prefer the central location, and I don't usually seem to be missing much as far as facilities. I do really wish I could get rid of the darn generator, and get an additional small, but, oh well. Also, I think the fuel tank should have a watchtower effect, as it does put you up, above the walls.

Imagine if we can combine the Container Fort with the Barricaded Strip Mall. It'll be a Fortress Strip Mall. All huge containers surrounded the stripmall, and we got a nice building with flush toilet and shower! Water supply is nearby, we can also get a power station or put in our own generator (not counting the builder legacy boon). Surround by huge containers that zombies can't knock down, we can then build a big drop-down gate at the front. We can have a fortress that can withstand even harsh weather during the winter.

Even with max shooting skill and a rifle with a scope, they somehow miss their target that are very close to them. How about a big fat juggernaut moving slow or a screamer that standing still? I saw my survivor missed the screamer as it was going toward my base. The survivor got an RTX Stormbringer with 61 bullets in the magazine. I heard "Bang, bang, bang and more..." and the damn screamer is still close by screaming at the top of its lungs.

This place I've also found can sometimes be short on needed resources.. on standard difficulty. I ACTUALLY like the drive in.

My favorite (non container fort) base in the game is Mike's Concrete. The location is great, it's INCREDIBLY easy to defend (park cars at the side doors and back wall where Zombies jump in) and put a watch tower at the small slot in the front. Since it's not right on the road where hordes wander past the only time you need to worry about them is during scripted sieges, and with the back and sides blocked with cars the only way for zombies to come is right at the front allowing for easy defenses.

I found this map to be by far the easiest map to deal with and complete as there is only one grouping of buildings that can not be scouted by a billboard/scout tower, there seem to be far fewer plague hearts on this map as this is the smallest of the 3 maps, and the starting base is in such a great location that you can gather supplies and build your enclave support so quickly that you can be fully prepared to move into of the better bases and start taking out all of the plague hearts by day 3. Though until watching this video it never occurred to me that anyone would continue to just not follow the roads to their destination. After playing several open world racing games, it's just burned into my mind that for the most part it's far faster to just take the roads. There are a few things you can cut but basically if you can't see the road you're trying to shortcut to, it's not faster
@GitGudFox5 жыл бұрын
People don't have trouble with DC because they lack the imagination to find shortcuts. It's because people waste more time trying to find shortcuts and decide driving on the road is the most efficient path instead of potentially wasting a great deal more time finding shortcuts. It sounds to me that you simply have a high familiarity with this map, or you haven't really thought about how much more efficient the other maps are due to their simpler terrain.

Honestly the map probably fits my playstyle far more than anything else. Though it is probably true that I have a better understanding of this map, especially now that I've been trying to complete all four legacies again on the harder difficulties, with this being the map I've put myself on for these playthroughs. As for the other maps, I've got a decent understanding of where everything is and a few simple cuts I can make, but having done only 2 playthroughs on each, 1 by myself and another helping one of my friends on the Hills map, and the lady friend through the Valley. There's definitely more on those maps that I could probably take advantage of that I just haven't yet taken the time to discover. Though DC seems to be the simplest map with the least to learn
