I really hope that make a SOD3. The concept is great, building a community with random characters, having a story form around your community, ect. It just has lacked polish.
All I want is to get rid of the endless spam of infestations. A mod tool would be enough to fix the game in general. There's just a bunch of little tweeks that are needed.
It might seem out of place in a zombie game, but a sort of loot progression system actually works great in survival games. I forget the name but there was this flash game I played years ago on kongregate that had a similar gameplay loop (go out, get resources and weapons, come back and base build), but it was even more addictive than state of decay because there were different levels of items and rarities
@@KnightKnowledge For me personally even after coming from State of Decay 1, I found 2 kinda fun but to frustrating to keep playing for very long. I've returned for Juggernaut, and I'm not sure if it's the improved tutorial or the new map, but I'm having a lot more fun this time.
I used the baseball field at the valley and use the parking lot for all the cars and rucksack's with a trader leader.my base runs itself every new day I go up plus one or two at daylight
I’m a veteran at this game and have been playing it for years but I still love to watch tips and tricks just for entertainment but I gotta say for a little channel I was impressed with the amount of professionalism so good job bro
Over 5 years ago I was unemployed and played State of decay 1. Was so much fun. Present day, I am playing state of decay 2 while unemployed. Lol, the world is funny
@@TheSushiandme o yea ik im gonna be moving out in about a month but i either need a job or file unemployment cuz i have a whole 50 dollars in cash to my name😂
In my head I see the ideal State of Decay: DayZ map size, The Division's graphics with some Rust base building/resource management sprinkled on top. Good game, but every time I'm playing I can't help thinking "this could be so much better!".
No game is perfect and SoD2 is far from it, BUT for the Permadeath + Random extreme threat (Only ever played Nightmare mode), I've found it the most fun, most thrilling game I've played in a long while. Even just a random trip out to find gas can turn into some epic fight for survival. Love it!
@@johntaylorson7769 It has a lot of potential, true. I loved the original and I was so happy when I found out SOD2 was coming. BUT...the game has so many bugs and design flaws that every time I'm running around being chased by the undead, I can't stop thinking: "God! I wish I was playing a better game."
@@Empress_Theresa Ha! I do know what you mean. I have a bunch of games like that which I really, really want to love, but can't help myself thinking 'If only this were game X, this would be better'. It really is a matter of each to their own. I'm new to the whole permadeath mechanic, so a game where I can't stab F5 for quicksaves is a whole new world for me!
Speaking of exiling members.. I got a gravestone in my community screen because I exiled someone and they got mauled by zombies about 15-20 meters after leaving the front door.. Apparently, they still "count" as a member of your community until they despawn.. I have had 0 deaths in my community aside from that exile dying..
@@Abbertown TBH I don't recall if I did or not.. Been a very long time ago.. as in 6+ months ago.. Recently started playing again (in small sessions here and there) and saw the tombstone and instantly remembered why it was there..
Just a tip, you can park multiple cars in a spot if you put them close together, it's probably a better tip for moving base than anything but could be helpful.
Here I am watching this video as i repurchased this game on pc thinking that this was a big channel, then I looked at your subscribers and my mouth dropped. I know theres videos everywhere, but this was very informational and straight to the point. Thank you sir
Another tip: against standing enemies, you can neither do a normal back-facing, nor special forward-facing Finisher when completely out of stamina. You can, however, very quickly grab and push a target from behind to not only drop them to the ground, but also knockdown an entire line of other zombies. Note that you will need to quickly spam the push (Spacebar default on PC) after grabbing a target, or your exhausted character will immediately release the zombie.
Nice video for begging players. Things to remember: When changing bases the number of AVAILABLE open vehicle parking spots of where you are MOVING TO are the number of vehicles that will move with you. The best way to farm influence is with a Pharmacologist, level 3 infirmary, and a pill press mod. You will be able to craft strong pain killers cheaply and make a huge profit off of little resources (meds). Powerhouse + Discipline + CQC provides the best melee build in terms of stamina conservation. Equip the character with a random blunt weapon and your finisher move will be a front facing grapple with a head stab. This will remove the necessary step for dodging behind and it is absolutely quiet and more efficient.
One thing I learned the other night was always check the trunk of drivable vehicles, even if you have no intention of taking it! My community was on the brink of starving, and I randomly thought about checking a car I found to see. Found a food rucksack in there that kept the community going juuusstt enough to get a nice source of food!
You can also craft food at gardens as well. It requires some crafting materials, labor and makes noise, but it's what I did when I was low on food as well
Great video! I would suggest using 2 vehicles in a V shape to block gates. The stupid AI tend to open the gates outward and it will wreck the vehicle. Keep up the good work.
Also unless it's changed with the new update, I kite juggs away from cars whenever they get close. Had plenty of cars ruined by juggs coming at my base and just bumping them over and over
I have watched many of these 'tips' videos and this is the first one that actually gives tips that are not obvious. Thank you, especially the quick finish tip. Brill. This was so useful thank you!
There’s one thing i did forget though, if you complete a game did your entire community transfer or was it just three? I remember always loading 3 survivors with loot that i wanted to keep, but now i saw some sort of inventory with 50 space for survivors from previous communities.
@@gewoonvictor6163 when you finish a legacy, your entire community goes into a pool of 50. In future new games you can select from that pool to use 3 of them or use totally new, random ones
One of my top tips would be to arm your survivors left at base with shotguns and 7.62 rifles. Even blood juggs don't stand a chance. I haven't lost a character during a siege since my third playthrough, about 50 playthroughs ago, using that method.
Hi! Great work and videos. I came here from tips#2 video. One thing that I liked from your videos is your speech. I'm from Argentina, I know english, but you speak clearly and understandable like few others youtubers out there. I like that. Makes easy for me to understand you. Keep at it.
solid tips, getting back into it after 2 years and going strait into nightmare mode i totally forgot about saving resources joining my friends games and the trick with the cars for defending base
Played the first one literally to death (giggidy) and started this last night, and its been a mad rush over and over and over. Thank you, was doing okay but my base was a wreck, so really thank you for these tips
Never played State of Decay but I decided to download it for Xbox 1 and when I tell you I’ve been played for like 12 hours straight. This game is excellent
if your on dreadzone or nightmare i’d recommend using a stealth character and if you do i’d use the crossbow its really helpful when fighting small groups of zombies and if you fight a large group use hide and use firecrackers and molotovs to deal with them
For skills I always run Backpacking and Resourcefulness for the extra inventory slots (+1 from each) to put a couple stacks of ammo into and keep my backpack slots open.. Of course, the default 2 slots are for HP and SP regen items..
Great video. You can also save rucksacks in the community's inventory after unequiping through a "trade sale" with an ally. Its been a life saver for me.
@@johanhereorahummerhielm9034 its been a bit since I last played, but I used to enlist a follower from allies and when you trade/sell with them, i would be able to "unequip" the rucksack id be holding. Unequiping allowed me to store them in my community inventory until I was ready to use them!
Finally a quality zombie game TH-camr I love zombie games as well I can spend hours upon hours playing I guess because I grew up playing games like left for dead with my family and I miss those days
Some more tips are 1. when trading with enclave you can un-equip rucksacks if you have available space in pockets or backpack then can store in storage 2. while in another game you can transfer rucksacks to your base when in a trunk of vehicle and they are equip in the rucksack slot 3. use the Xbox official club to find people to play with(don't know what it is for steam)
Even better tips... use the trader glitch to store rucksacks in the inventory (as opposed to in limited storage and/or cars) and use the mod glitch to stack mods and get 8 outposts.
I have found a way to get rucksacks into your inventory, have a rucksack on your back, go to an enclave click on trade with enclave, go to the rucksack on your back an press X on Xbox square on ps, it will then put it in your pocket, head to your supply locker and store them
how do you get them back out and deposit them? I had one in my inventory and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on my back so I could deposit it. I thought it was a bug lol.
Tip 2 is great, and learnt it early on, I do it too for the same reason, rucksack storage, and have encouraged both my friends to do it in their play through.
I park VANS in my parking slots. They hold more, 8 slots, and you can go crazy and put all your MEDS in the Ambulance, FOOD in the BBQ van, Materials in the Dewitt Van, ETC.
I must be naturally good lol I only have about 4 hrs clocked in from one play through and I have toooons of gas, toolkits, a few cars, my base all upgraded(obv not fully but I found a bunch of mods while scavenging that are helping a ton at the start), tons of guns and mods and my base is fully stocked on almost every resource, tons of consumables and my first 4 characters pretty geared up, and a 2 outposts for medicine and ammo generation, plus the military outpost you get from that mission. I got more going on but i think you get it lol tbh I found a sedan with like 8 storage spots that I swap out with a ranger SUV with 6 storage spaces and looted almost everything in my immediate area on the character I mainly play ass with an 8 slot backpack and a follower with the same bag as an extra inventory space and someone to watch my back while I fill one character’s inventory before swiping to the other. I use mainly stealth kills with a crossbow and a silenced AK or melee stealth kills to get around and trow all of the rucksacks in my truck, fill my pockets and bags with consumables and ammo, then have 2 extra rucksacks on each characters back. When 2 get tired I transfer everything from my trunk, keep the rucksacks on them, then switch to the other 2 for another quick run. Im on day 3 or for and i send 2 out in day runs and 2 others on night runs. That’s where I’m at rn, trying to rack up 2400 or so influence to buy the power plant or reenforced truck stop place. I’ll definitely use some of these tips though, especially that quick finisher one, that’ll come in handy very often.
If you are feeling the game is not giving you enough of a challenge I recommend you to play on the higher difficulties, but only if you really feel like it. At the end of the day you are playing to have fun so don't feel lees for playing on standard zone or as they call it: "easy mode"
Just a quick update regarding the Rucksacks. You can actually store them directly to your base while you are in a multiplayer session by just going to a car that is parked in a parking space and storing the rucksack from there. So the resources will be stored directly to your colony that way.
Bonus tip in case you guys didnt know. Juggernauts can be easily killed by back ramming them with the rear of the vehicle. It can be tedious, but it's the safest way to kill juggernauts, plus the vehicle will survive, just the back doors will fall off, however its sorta cosmetic if you're on your own.
I like to get the leg sweep ability which also kills zombies easily, also I would recommend jamming the fuck out of ALL of your characters before you do the legacy mission, per example give em all a rucksack and get all your good ass guns and loot so next time you use them in a community you will have a BIG head start
One other tip climb walls if you are being chased by zombies the zombies will climb but fall and lay down for a while in that time you can kill them with quick finishers.
Knight Knowledge great also buy a few or 1 red talion soldier to have a very powerful shooter or melee. For every town you start and you can bring that person from the last town.
My friend introduced me to the original State of Decay and it was tough for me to get into it (I probably could have tried harder). I’m not too sure what made me start playing State of Decay 2 but I definitely fell in love with it early on. I’ll put a bunch of hours into it then stop for a while but I always come back it’s always fun.
New player here. I would never have thought of using cars to block base entrances, for example. Definitely super useful, so thank you! Do you have any tips on the easiest/safest ways to deal with infestations, plague hearts and juggernauts?
Infestations: take your time, and aim for the screamer(s) first Plague Hearts: takes about 4 pipe bombs or 3 C4s. Clear all surrounding plague zombies first. Juggernauts: kite them walking backwards while firing at their head. When they charge, double dodge. Execute when they drop to a knee.
Infestations, I try to always have a car or two that's a beater (truck with plow if I can find it) and just honk outside til they come out to get run over...then mop stragglers. I also typically send someone with weapon handling after them as there are few times that are worse to have a weapon break than with screamers drawing in more Zed's. Plague hearts, I often save for later in the game and wipe them all at once. Many persue tech to build explosives and as soon as they get enough, they go hunt one. I find that after a week or two in game I have everything I need naturally, explosives, ammo presses, high end guns, and often even the Beowulf which I use for both plague hearts and juggs.
@@kylethekidable I did that thing with the car for a while to clear infestations, until I almost got myself killed when I also attracted a nearby bloater and a feral. What I started doing lately is set up some fireworks just outside the house, then back off and once the zombies pile up, toss a couple molotovs to clear most of them in one go.
Also I figured it out that if you are getting swarmed by zombies and maybe a feral and you can't fight them off and don't want to destroy your car. Get on top of it and pick them off one by one
Agree 95% on info. Bt in my opinion #1 thing to look out for is mods( things you can add to spaces in ur camp that allow you to make certain items or give certain buffs) my fav: ammo presses,parts mill and improvised weapon table. After that any weapon u come apone on especially hi-power guns the ones that use this ammo: 5.56, 7.blank blank and 50 cals
There’s also a fighting specialization that gives you the “Slam” attack, which throws the zombie over your shoulder and onto their back, at which point you can finish them on the ground.
@@kanelittlehales8 I've encountered situations where i've used the quick finisher and you see them use the offhand weapon and the main weapon still gets damaged (turned yellow). Could have been a glitch or a delay in durability when used previously. Thankfully it has only happened twice over easily 100+ hours of gameplay and primarily dispatching zeds via quick finishers.
in Co-op you can access your own supply locker to add or take supplies and not 100 percent sure but im pretty sure if you put a rucksack in the truck then transfer it to base it will go to your own base so you don't need to change out people.
I had this happen and couldn't figure out how to "requip" the rucksack. I thought it was a bug. How do you "get back" the rucksack to deposit it? I couldn't do anything with it, the rucksack was in my storage and I couldn't figure out how to "apply/deposit" it, when I grabbed it it would always just go to my inventory and not my back
Here’s a pro tip. Always maintain positive relationships with the forgotten soldiers. Easy missions and they always have military weapons and ammo to trade
if they add multiplayer server Wars between groups or peace and building bases in the map. For example, each group contains a leader and 20 recruits so the server will be permanent. This idea does not exist in games and I hope that this game will be in the third part.
PvP ruins games that are mainly PvE. I’ve been playing SoD2 since launch and will never support PvP touching it, so if you want to play something stupid like that try that garbage pile ARK: Survival Evolved
For me facility mods and text books are highest. I prefer to make my base almost all self sustainable when possible. Pretty much agree on everything else though.
Im actually suprised you have less than 1k subscribers. The way you give tips is so professional, and easy to understand. Very nice.
Glad you liked the video, gotta start from somewhere! :)
i have changed that in one more
I agree with that, well done
Agree 100%
Almost at 2k now, well deserved too!
I really hope that make a SOD3. The concept is great, building a community with random characters, having a story form around your community, ect. It just has lacked polish.
I hope they change the tether system too and fix the multiplayer issues.
All I want is to get rid of the endless spam of infestations. A mod tool would be enough to fix the game in general. There's just a bunch of little tweeks that are needed.
So many things they could improve, a proper crafting system, items that drop from zombies, the possibilities are endless
It might seem out of place in a zombie game, but a sort of loot progression system actually works great in survival games. I forget the name but there was this flash game I played years ago on kongregate that had a similar gameplay loop (go out, get resources and weapons, come back and base build), but it was even more addictive than state of decay because there were different levels of items and rarities

Tip 4 I learned real quick playing daybreak for the first time.
My favourite specialisation is sword play, it's fun to sprint up to a board and make them crawlers in a couple of seconds.
when the horde gets too big, the leg swipe of swordplay is invaluable! They can't chase you if they're crawling on the ground!

2. while in another game you can transfer rucksacks to your base when in a trunk of vehicle and they are equip in the rucksack slot
3. use the Xbox official club to find people to play with(don't know what it is for steam)

Just started getting into this game and your video helped a ton... thanks.
Tip 2 is great, and learnt it early on, I do it too for the same reason, rucksack storage, and have encouraged both my friends to do it in their play through.
I park VANS in my parking slots. They hold more, 8 slots, and you can go crazy and put all your MEDS in the Ambulance, FOOD in the BBQ van, Materials in the Dewitt Van, ETC.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that did the same thing 😂
Great video. Concise and clear, perfect
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
extremely helpful, definitely subscribing and coming back, i will use these, great video, idk how 6 people disliked the vid
thanks for the support! Can't please everyone, as long as it helped one person, I'm fine with that!
Good tips with nice format for learning
Quick tip if you bring a trader with you your able to put the rucksack in your inventory and put it in your storage
Love these games, great community and a caring developer. Can't wait the update and SoD3
Just started playing this on Xbox Game Pass. Thx for the tuts!
Have fun!
I must be naturally good lol I only have about 4 hrs clocked in from one play through and I have toooons of gas, toolkits, a few cars, my base all upgraded(obv not fully but I found a bunch of mods while scavenging that are helping a ton at the start), tons of guns and mods and my base is fully stocked on almost every resource, tons of consumables and my first 4 characters pretty geared up, and a 2 outposts for medicine and ammo generation, plus the military outpost you get from that mission. I got more going on but i think you get it lol tbh I found a sedan with like 8 storage spots that I swap out with a ranger SUV with 6 storage spaces and looted almost everything in my immediate area on the character I mainly play ass with an 8 slot backpack and a follower with the same bag as an extra inventory space and someone to watch my back while I fill one character’s inventory before swiping to the other. I use mainly stealth kills with a crossbow and a silenced AK or melee stealth kills to get around and trow all of the rucksacks in my truck, fill my pockets and bags with consumables and ammo, then have 2 extra rucksacks on each characters back. When 2 get tired I transfer everything from my trunk, keep the rucksacks on them, then switch to the other 2 for another quick run. Im on day 3 or for and i send 2 out in day runs and 2 others on night runs. That’s where I’m at rn, trying to rack up 2400 or so influence to buy the power plant or reenforced truck stop place. I’ll definitely use some of these tips though, especially that quick finisher one, that’ll come in handy very often.
In SoD2 your community can crumble in a second from 1 bad move ,so never think your in the clear.
you must play on easy 😂.
If you are feeling the game is not giving you enough of a challenge I recommend you to play on the higher difficulties, but only if you really feel like it. At the end of the day you are playing to have fun so don't feel lees for playing on standard zone or as they call it: "easy mode"
Morale is the hardest part of the game for me
How do you not have a lot of likes this video is great for returning players like me
it'll hopefully get there one day!
Just a quick update regarding the Rucksacks. You can actually store them directly to your base while you are in a multiplayer session by just going to a car that is parked in a parking space and storing the rucksack from there. So the resources will be stored directly to your colony that way.
Great tip!
great channel man i'm so surprised you don't have more subscribers, you got my subscription very helpful info!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the support!
Damn good video - just bought SoD2Juggernaut on sale and this is a great help !
Have fun!
Bonus tip in case you guys didnt know.
Juggernauts can be easily killed by back ramming them with the rear of the vehicle. It can be tedious, but it's the safest way to kill juggernauts, plus the vehicle will survive, just the back doors will fall off, however its sorta cosmetic if you're on your own.
I like to get the leg sweep ability which also kills zombies easily, also I would recommend jamming the fuck out of ALL of your characters before you do the legacy mission, per example give em all a rucksack and get all your good ass guns and loot so next time you use them in a community you will have a BIG head start
I like using the leg sweep as well when things get hectic & out of control ;)
This is a great video. How do you only have 2000 subscribers?!
One day at a time :)
One other tip climb walls if you are being chased by zombies the zombies will climb but fall and lay down for a while in that time you can kill them with quick finishers.
I've noticed that too and take advantage of them being prone!
Knight Knowledge great also buy a few or 1 red talion soldier to have a very powerful shooter or melee. For every town you start and you can bring that person from the last town.
@@FibroidAuto Yep; their specialized skills are a combination of all 4, which is pretty OP
My friend introduced me to the original State of Decay and it was tough for me to get into it (I probably could have tried harder). I’m not too sure what made me start playing State of Decay 2 but I definitely fell in love with it early on. I’ll put a bunch of hours into it then stop for a while but I always come back it’s always fun.
This is one of my favorite games of all time.
New player here. I would never have thought of using cars to block base entrances, for example. Definitely super useful, so thank you! Do you have any tips on the easiest/safest ways to deal with infestations, plague hearts and juggernauts?
Infestations: take your time, and aim for the screamer(s) first
Plague Hearts: takes about 4 pipe bombs or 3 C4s. Clear all surrounding plague zombies first.
Juggernauts: kite them walking backwards while firing at their head. When they charge, double dodge. Execute when they drop to a knee.
Infestations, I try to always have a car or two that's a beater (truck with plow if I can find it) and just honk outside til they come out to get run over...then mop stragglers. I also typically send someone with weapon handling after them as there are few times that are worse to have a weapon break than with screamers drawing in more Zed's.
Plague hearts, I often save for later in the game and wipe them all at once. Many persue tech to build explosives and as soon as they get enough, they go hunt one. I find that after a week or two in game I have everything I need naturally, explosives, ammo presses, high end guns, and often even the Beowulf which I use for both plague hearts and juggs.
@@kylethekidable I did that thing with the car for a while to clear infestations, until I almost got myself killed when I also attracted a nearby bloater and a feral. What I started doing lately is set up some fireworks just outside the house, then back off and once the zombies pile up, toss a couple molotovs to clear most of them in one go.
Also I figured it out that if you are getting swarmed by zombies and maybe a feral and you can't fight them off and don't want to destroy your car. Get on top of it and pick them off one by one
very helpful tips, thank you 💙
Gregory Agcaoili - The nighttime stealth ninja... with astigmatism.
No one said he was a good stealth ninja ;)
Sick video my guy, this is professional. Btw I subbed
The fact that you even have Greg in your group and haven't exiled someone with those negatives makes me wonder
A great hero bonus can negate many negative traits. Meal Plan for some players is quite desirable.
you literally play exactly the same as i do even using cars to block doors and extra rucksacks lol i thought i was the only one who did that.
Car blocking team, high five!!
Do the rucksacks despawn? I didnt hear if he said in the video or not
If you leave your rucksacks inside a car they will never despawn. About leaving them in the ground, I think they do.
Thank you bro this is exactly what I needed! Psyched to play this game now :-).
Have fun!
Agree 95% on info. Bt in my opinion #1 thing to look out for is mods( things you can add to spaces in ur camp that allow you to make certain items or give certain buffs) my fav: ammo presses,parts mill and improvised weapon table. After that any weapon u come apone on especially hi-power guns the ones that use this ammo: 5.56, 7.blank blank and 50 cals
I went back to state of decay 1 and i forgot how it was different and more difficult, and i started to like it more
I’m so lost and so intrigued by this game, love just being along for the ride!
You are so underrated. Great work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Priority on my list was the toolbox repair kit.
Definitely; been making some rookie mistakes in Lethal and those repair kits are saving me!
There’s also a fighting specialization that gives you the “Slam” attack, which throws the zombie over your shoulder and onto their back, at which point you can finish them on the ground.
I believe that is through Endurance :)
Yeah, I forgot the name. It could be helpful to conserve weapon durability as well.
the quick finish doesn't affect durability it's your offhand smaller weapon that is used
@@kanelittlehales8 I've encountered situations where i've used the quick finisher and you see them use the offhand weapon and the main weapon still gets damaged (turned yellow). Could have been a glitch or a delay in durability when used previously. Thankfully it has only happened twice over easily 100+ hours of gameplay and primarily dispatching zeds via quick finishers.
nice to know I have just lost 2 survivors trying to take down rival humans on the map juggernsught was right by them
Another good tip, if you are ever in trouble and need a quick escape from a horde you can just jump on a car.
in Co-op you can access your own supply locker to add or take supplies and not 100 percent sure but im pretty sure if you put a rucksack in the truck then transfer it to base it will go to your own base so you don't need to change out people.
Great video! Been playing for awhile and still learned from it!
I'm glad! Cheers!
You can store ruck sacks in the normal inventory. Just unequip it when menunopen with a person you recruited and can trade with.
I had this happen and couldn't figure out how to "requip" the rucksack. I thought it was a bug. How do you "get back" the rucksack to deposit it? I couldn't do anything with it, the rucksack was in my storage and I couldn't figure out how to "apply/deposit" it, when I grabbed it it would always just go to my inventory and not my back
such a chill nd good vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
those star skill book sometimes you can get by mission helping network people searching something, I got 2 fishing books from that mission
Sometimes a skills trader will come by too which is nice I usually just grab fishing and recycling
Sweet Video, just got the game and this was very helpful
Here’s a pro tip. Always maintain positive relationships with the forgotten soldiers. Easy missions and they always have military weapons and ammo to trade
i have to do this; running out of ammo frequently helping my friend in nightmare mode
if they add multiplayer server
Wars between groups or peace and building bases in the map. For example, each group contains a leader and 20 recruits so the server will be permanent. This idea does not exist in games and I hope that this game will be in the third part.
PvP ruins games that are mainly PvE. I’ve been playing SoD2 since launch and will never support PvP touching it, so if you want to play something stupid like that try that garbage pile ARK: Survival Evolved
Yeah it would be cool if the weather would change, also would love to see other ppl on map.
hopefully more of a server, and less leashing. I wasn't a big fan of player hosting
For me facility mods and text books are highest. I prefer to make my base almost all self sustainable when possible. Pretty much agree on everything else though.
I should use an asterisk and clarify that certain facility mods are more worthwhile than others; all depends on your unique situation :)
Just got into State of Decay 2 again. Great video! I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. TH-cam Algorithm is weird, I suppose.
Thanks! State of Decay 2 is one of those games that are so easy to come back to
Thank you so much pal. Your tips are very helpful
Glad they helped, have fun!
