How to Create a Strong Community in State of Decay 2

Have you ever thought about building your community in the State of Decay 2 without being stuck in the endless loop of influence farming? Let me walk you through a breezy step-by-step guide that’ll have your community thriving in no time without the usual grind.

 

 Investment Checklist

Before diving in, let’s make sure you’ve got everything you need:

• Time: Set aside around 20 to 30 hours of playtime. The example I’m sharing took about 18 hours.
• An empty slot in your community
• Open slots in your legacy survivor pool

Survivor Tips

1. First, leverage your legacy survivors and the handy Recruit Legacy Survivor radio ability to max out your survivor pool.
2. Start fresh with a new community and pick a difficulty level. Quick tip: Green difficulty will get you there fastest.
3. Take a moment to roll the stats for your survivors.
4. Want an edge? Opt for the trader and warlord legacy boons. You’ll thank me later.
5. Check out the hero bonus for each survivor in the Community window once the game gets going.
6. If “Tough Negotiation” doesn’t pop up as a bonus, wipe the slate clean, delete the community, and give it another go.
7. Feel free to gear up your survivors with weapons and supplies as you see fit.
8. Those with the “Tough Negotiation” bonus? Send them straight to the legacy pool.
9. Then, kick off your target community game and bring those legacy survivors on board with the Recruit Legacy Survivor command.
10. Rinse and repeat until your survivor pool is looking robust and ready for action!

Choosing Survivors to Your Community:

• Choose any map,
  The map you choose is important. Meagher Valley has an announcer box facility, which starts a siege on demand. That’s my everyday choice. If you need more vehicles/more facility slots/more quest options/etc you might want to choose a different one. I won’t provide a list of maps because it’ll take a lot of side research and a lot of information to list.
• Select any difficulty you prefer,
  Nightmare is perfect for this type of community. Nightmare provides a decent amount of freaks, yet it isn’t as difficult as Lethal, so it’s actually easy to progress at a decent pace.
• Choose any legacy boons if any. A list of legacy boons at the end of the guide,
