Holy shit that is a HUGE tip. I don't know what to say other than a massive thank you. It's a tremendous honor to play for you, and if you ANY content suggestions, I would absolutely be interested in hearing it. GGF is a 1 man op. I guess 1 fox and 2 cats op, so this literally goes towards essentials like food and gasoline. It's not something that gets lost in a sea of corporate fees.

I mainly can't curse on KZbin. It's not as true anymore as KZbin relaxed its swearing rules, but it's a habit now. I can curse as much as I want in the comments though. It's not really in my personality though. Pretty much all of this money is going to that new modem I need to get the internet running correctly right now.

I hate that Whitney Field is the best because it's on the ass end of that map. However, the abundant small facilities and draw the zeds function really push it to the top. FC is my 2nd favorite. I use kitchens to boost so I'm irritated that the grill is permanent.

[@ArnoSchmidt22]

My second favorite base in the game. My favorite is the Corner Office.

[@easyJat99]

🫢

[@kaistapley7126]

why does everyone hate the corner office it seems to be a running joke now 😂 (tbh i hate it but imo the spawns there for hordes, ferals etc literally SURROUND the office base) is there an actual reason for it being the poopiest base in the game

[@GitGudFox]

It's an overpriced base that is a death trap because the human AI doesn't fight well indoors.

[@andrewwashere82]

Love your answer, lol!

[@andrewwashere82]

The Corner Office is defensible in LZ if you use op tactics. I know, I've done it.

[@axelastori484]

16:53 i agree Fox, its beautiful. It's funny to see Trumbull from Sod1 to Heartland and then this final form. Mount Tanner seems like Olympus

🤔 yeah they most likely did it on purpose to give you that sense that "this is where it all began."

Fox: "This is the second best base in the game" Ofc, when theres the Corner Office!

[@sinnedkwik1330]

Love Farmland. Center location is great. Love the 4 big slots for auto shop, lounge, especially. I use plumbing for the hydroponics and stamina bonus. I have farmed some influence by building and destroying the Haven Device bc it automatically starts a siege. Love the videos keep them going.

[@GitGudFox]

👍 I like this base myself. I don't like it quite as much as Whitney Field as I really like the 3 large / 5 small combo, but this is probably the next best.

[@BrianBBBB]

Daily Reminder: Git Gud Fox really hates the Corner Office

[@METALFREAK03]

I know this is late but what I tend to do here is haveoutposts in each town sort of areas and leave a van there (if I can a one with the 9 slots). Once filled, I drive it back to my base and then drive it back only to the outpost to pick back up my impaler. The only problem is bugs, sometimes the game will yeet your vans and you lose everything within them. However, this has only ever happened once to me and usually I never leave rucks inside these vans over play sessions.

[@GitGudFox]

🏅 interesting idea. I like it. A high investment idea, no doubt, but I like it.

[@geroffmilan3328]

I'm running an 11 person community in Whitney Field on NZ right now, day 83. Whitney is great, but I think no.1 is the Container Fort. Ample slots, good built-in facilities & although it's on the SW corner, there is a lot of looting to be done nearby. Will give Farmland Compound a look this week.

[@GitGudFox]

Container Fort basically trades 1 entire large facility to get just 1 more small facility. Container Fort: 2 Large / 6 Small. Whitney Field: 3 Large / 5 Small. Whitney Field has WAY better facility options.

[@Dbf1339]

Idk if container fort is better but I like It design wise a lot because metal walls in a zombie apocalypse are great.

[@MrKdl1969]

The rucksack stratedgy i use, when on a loot run, once impaler trunk full. Go to an outpost, change survivor. Load them with rucksack, then change survivor. 8 survivors plus impaler is 12 rucksacks. Get a lot of looting in far away places done. Fuel and repair vehicle at outpist

[@GitGudFox]

You can definitely do that. I don't do it because I play multiple save files on stream, so I often forget to unload them since all of the save files start to blur together.

[@danieladdington2461]

The influence farm from Whitney is great, but I'd rather play the story lines through Trumbull and worry about influence with other farms. Makes farmland #1 in my book.

[@GitGudFox]

Well, you could play with the storylines, then move into Whitney Field.

[@Mark_Greg_Spudnik]

@@GitGudFox with izzbee that's free easu rucksack and weapon farming. In addition to Willie Pete grenades op just for playing the map. Not to mention you can farm influence with the haven device best of both worlds

[@Reynaldo-Pequeno]

One of the downsides of this base, is the fact that you can't call supply drops, you need to drive away to call for them.

[@GitGudFox]

🏅 That seems to happen relatively frequently in Trumbull Valley. Great point though.

[@forgivengaming9758]

Love the video fox, been a minute since I've been on this channel and it looks like I have some catching up to do. I love this video as a callback to some of the work you used to do years ago. Your base and perk/skill reviews were my first introduction to the channel. Always love to watch your analysis videos.

[@GitGudFox]

After this series, that's what I'm going to be focusing on again.

[@ProxMackintosh]

They really made Farmhouse go above and beyond and become a way better base than the first game. Tho I do miss some of the features of the same base from the first game heh.

[@GitGudFox]

I mainly find it strange how they played around with the prices.

[@omkarmahapatra5746]

My 2nd favourite base. 1st being Strip Mall. That base has really good built-ins.

[@GitGudFox]

Not a fan of Strip Mall, but I do like Farmland Compound a lot.

[@BaeBunni]

purely on the interior of the base it's one of the top 3 bases in the game. Yea 4 large slots can be a bit high butnot to bad but there is tons of easy sight lines for the entry areas zombies can come in so any npc meandering in the middle of the base will likely aim and shoot anything before it can get in. Half of the walls are chain so npcs will shoot through them instead of running outside to so it reduces their chances at leaving the base to fight a Jugg and it is one of the best bases because of it's location on the map.

[@GitGudFox]

That's why I'm still giving it the "2nd best" base label. I would prefer 3/5 slots but this is still very good.

[@CT-nb5lm]

My favorite hands down based on location.. Only The bas eon the hill in Drucker is more centrally located..

[@Valterius87]

One thing I didn't hear you mention is, you only need to block 3 doors on this base to have that security when the inevitable siege happens, with a 4th spot that is tucked into a corner that the Ferals always seem to find. I choose my base when swapping maps based on defense alone because the build phase is loud and can cost you survivors. This one is my favorite, and it's super comfy. I'm glad that it was beefed up compared to its SOD1 counterpart. EDIT: The 4th little spot was actually making me mad because I just plain missed it the first time I played on this base. There would always, somehow be a zed cruising around the base, when all other doors were blocked off. This base is CRAZY strong, especially when you can just pick it from the start of your map playthrough.

[@GitGudFox]

I don't block gateways because the superior defense is to just leave the base. Anytime a siege hits, you can just drive away, and the siege will complete while you're gone.

[@Valterius87]

@@GitGudFox Good point, I am just one that likes to shoot the zeds and having that one spot where all of it shows up at your step. Good videos, thank you for your content :)

[@GitGudFox]

You might like 7 Days to Die then. You can build your base from scratch there. That's a pretty common strategy too, to create a kill zone where all the zombies have to scramble towards you. Electric fences. Auto turrets. Land mines. Barbed wires. All kinds of defenses can be used to slow them down or kill them. Very fun game.

[@Valterius87]

@@GitGudFox I will check it out. Thanks :) I love the appeal of SOD2, and all of the things the devs got right, and even all of the annoyances of what I feel they got wrong, intentionally or not. Thanks again for all of your content.

[@Bloatedhedgehog]

So sad to see this play though is ending, might be finally time to revisit sod1 for breakdown And still think this base is best ingame over Whitley field although I’m doing my 100 day play through on Whitney field for the achievement

[@GitGudFox]

💯 until UL nerfs Whitney Field, it's gonna be the king!

[@benpeters9851]

I'd like to see them in make bases fully customizable in State of Decay 3. Where you can cordone off areas. Instead of outposts multiple stationed bases you could oversee

[@GitGudFox]

Yes, I'd like to see full customization and unlimited customization as well.

[@MingWLee]

Without any special feature from the base itself, Farmland Compound is the best in overall aspect. Sure Whitney Field is fantastic bc of the Bell feature, but without it, the 3/5 base option combo is arguable as best base. Personally, I treat Tumbull Valley as a vacation map bc you can really just lay back and relax a bit even in Lethal Zone; and the view you mentioned at the end, sooo pleasant to see and it remains me the Rockies. I would say go to Whitney Field if player prefer Urban vibe, and Farmland Compound when they prefer a more relaxing vibe.

[@GitGudFox]

🏅 3/5 is really good. 4/4 is interesting, but I feel like that 4th large is a luxury slot.

[@MingWLee]

@@GitGudFox Yes it is! And more flexible in endgame playthrough.

[@Someone-lg6di]

@@GitGudFox for me I perfer 3/5 since after the third large the rest are just flex slots and I believe small slots have better flex slots then large slots ironically

[@DJones-tp4yi]

Even better, the Refugee clinic is actually more like a Field Hospital because of the +10 health but it is missing the other benefits

[@GitGudFox]

The main benefit of the Field Hospital is being able to activate Primary Care twice.

[@Dbf1339]

They should have made it an 8 man and added 2 more small slots. It’s obvious they are pressing for Trumbull as a long term community map

[@shushupyounaughtyminx4832]

My favourite big base is the strip mall just due to aesthetics, but I do like this base

[@GitGudFox]

This base has really good facility options. You can have pretty solid setups here. It's also a lot more outdoors which is a big advantage.

[@razor6827]

Personal favorite is the lumber mill, I love the space you get

[@GitGudFox]

I find the 5 larges a bit awkward, but it's unique.

[@AnhNguyen1986]

What I don't like about Whitney Field is the second watchtower, which takes up a small slot and consumes ammo. I'd prefer this Farmland Compound.

[@GitGudFox]

It's 2 ammo per day which is 1/3rd of a rucksack of ammo, so you lose 1 rucksack of ammo here every 3 days. You can literally earn the rucksack back (200 influence minimum) in a single 3 minute siege which is repeatable because it is a feature of Whitney Field. Whitney Field is the best base in the game. There is no comparing it on an objective manner. People may have preferences that are personal, but Whitney Field is objectively the most powerful base in the game.

[@AnhNguyen1986]

@@GitGudFox Sure you can buy ammo with the influence from sieges, but I like everything to be as automatic as possible. With that in mind, I'd need 1 more small indoor slot to make this base perfect.

[@zer08927]

Just moved into the Farmland from the RT FOB base. Still playing around with the large slots to get the item bonuses. Hopefully they haven't nerfed the parts farming from the salvage furnace yet.

[@GitGudFox]

Not to my knowledge. It should still work!

[@jasonevans1854]

Love this base but what makes Whitney field the best is the alarm or horn to attract zombies is the winner use that and have a trader don't have to scavenge

[@GitGudFox]

You want to use my UltraCash strategy to take that to the max. It will give you over 1000 influence per zombie siege.

[@leorodriguez39]

I have a group of survivors living in farmland compound and I can’t seem to find the claim outpost station

[@Dbf1339]

My favorite base for long term use. It actually looks like a home base and not a business with beds. Located in great position. Whitney field for me is just not my favorite visually despite being good for influencer farming

[@chubbydemon9696]

This is such a close second for best base of it were cheaper at maybe 2000 influence i would say then the only thing that could save Whitney field would be a more central position on the map but it definitely has the slots available for the salvage god combo with the 120000 parts i salvaged I can say it can pay for itself though.

[@GitGudFox]

Yeah it's a great base and location. I like the map too.

[@rebelchcrik]

Just moved from the brewery in meagher to this base on my second map for the Dread run. Four larges are going to be Farm, Lounge, Trader and Car workshop (later a sniper tower to keep Threat lower). Which one of the 4 slots works better for a sniper tower, as in "they can actually see the enemy and dont shoot the roof of the buildings"?

[@Dbf1339]

I believe the middle slot by the radio center

So like… an enclave moved into this location for some reason, idk if it’s a feature but I’ve never seen it but like how do I get them out? Or if I can’t how do I claim it???

[@GitGudFox]

Specific enclaves with a sub-story will take over main bases. You won't be able to do anything with that base until they leave. You have 2 options. 1) You can complete their quest chain. 2) You can draw zombies to them and kill them. This is easier on higher difficulty because the zombies are both larger in number and do more damage.

[@easyJat99]

Hey, what are some tips for retrieving a dead characters vehicle on the other side of the map on lethal? When Carrie died, her impaler was lost on the other side of the map, and it's also next to an aggressive enclave. So any tips for getting it without risking people running there?

[@BaeBunni]

get a gun and someone with gunslinger pops heads real easy and stand near a fence. If that isn't feasible just buy another car we all have the ultimate edition vehicle call in now.

[@sinnedkwik1330]

If you can find a crappy car to use in the interim. There is the option of the ultimate addition call in, but you may want to save the money. Ive done running there. I would use someone with gunslinging and marathon in light carry with a scent block and or zedrenaline when you approach the hostile enclave. Good luck.

[@easyJat99]

@Sinned Kwik I think thats my best bet, I don't wanna spend 1k influence, and im pretty sure there are broken cars near my base so that may work

[@GitGudFox]

You got a few options. 1) Scentblock and run with Marathon 2) Locate another closer by car, get it working, then drive to the other car 3) Call in a car: everyone has access to Ultimate Vehicles and Independence Day vehicle deliveries

[@biofringe4983]

I absolutely love this base for so many reasons BUT because of the map that it's on I have to rank it 4th on my list, which is also where I place the map itself compared to the others. So with a map that ranks just above Drucker County the base itself can only account for so much.

[@GitGudFox]

I think the map is fantastic, possibly the best in the game. The best landmark, the 2nd best base, the strongest midgame with insane options like immortal Chavez and Izzbee for easy Lethal Zone boon farming. The start is a bit rough, and Marshall is annoying to drive around, but Trumbull Valley is just a pleasure to play in.

[@coryryder9070]

You got 3 options. 1) Use 2 small slots for a Crafting Still Level 2 (water) + a Generator Level 3 (power). The Trader leader is needed for both. 2) Use 1 small slot for a Still Level 2 (water) + a power outpost. Use the still to craft beer to help finance the outpost. 3) Don't use anything in the base for utilities, save up a bunch of influence, and claim a water and an power outpost.

the only thing i dont like about this base is theres a few spots where they could have added a couple more small slots. like that second bunk room is inside but no small slot its a huge waste. also in the bunkyard theres so much room for mor small slots and they dont do it.i have this meatwagon from the dlc it gives me 10 trunk slots plus i can carry 1 ruck sack on my back so my characters can carry 11 ruck sacks on 1 trip lol .

[@GitGudFox]

The amount of space isn't really a factor in the slots. If you count up the amount of slots a large base has? They basically have the same quantity of slots compared to other large bases. Whitney Field: 3 large / 5 small. Farmland: 4 small / 4 large. Lumberyard: 5 large / 3 small. See what I mean? They just wind up adding up to 8 give or take 1.

[@GitGudFox]

Different slot sizes, and you are building the Sniper Tower to get the Sniper Support radio call-in which the RT tower doesn't have. Also, there are more small facilities that are good compared to large facilities. You only really need 2 large facilities. The 3rd one is a luxury and the 4th+ is overkill.

[@Upsetkiller456]

Why are beds pointless?

[@GitGudFox]

Because the penalty they cause is not very bad. It's like -7 per person missing a bed. Instead of building a bed that gives you 2 beds (+14 morale), you could build a facility that gives +10 Morale x All Community members. So if you had like a toilet and 5 communities members? It would give 10 Morale x 5 = 50 morale, and it would continue to scale up even if you got more community members. Beds on the other hand? Only prevent a -7 morale loss per person missing a bed.
