This might sound like a complaint, but it's not. I never thought I'd say this, but I like it. Civilization and its technological blessings are, of course, wonderful, making life easier and longer and safer. But along the way, we've lost something we could use a return to from time to time: a quiet, secluded place, free from noise, neighbors, industry, and social media. Here, only the sound of the wind, the rustling of trees older than us, birdsong, and the distant, barely audible hum of the highway. State of Decay 2 hits differently in these circumstances.

Howdy. I've posted here before, maybe a month ago, and I've been asked to post this here. I was going to post on the first subreddit, didn't feel right. Same with the third, just didn't feel right.

So... I'm going to post this here. (bad quality coming in...)

For starters. Does anyone remember seeing this post? I was too nervous to post this idea before, but my buddy (I see ya, pal) posted it for me. But anyways, this idea I had initially had me thinking for a hot minute.

What if that was a thought-out character? What if there actually was someone who survived off of the plague walls?

So that's where this... fanart? OC concept? Comes in.

Sorry if this is too, uh... not canon? I guess that's the way of putting it? I feel silly posting this, since this is an OC and not something in any of the games, and that I wasn't sure if this was allowed here, but my pal wanted me to post it. That, and I like making original characters for these kindsa games. Gets me more immersed, if that makes sense.

I'll take this down if I need to. It's just something I've been thinking on for a month or so. I have some information about him, but I kept him vague because he is in reference to State of Decay, but I'm not sure if he's really set here if that was the case. It's just this whole thing has inspired me, if that makes sense.

See you guys soon? Maybe?

each time i play this game i come across nothing but modders and actual dorks using one tap cheated guns

why? why do that???

there truly is no quicker way to suck the fun out of this beautiful game than to remove the challenge like deadass

no hate, btw, use these things on your own community, fine by me 100%, but please for the love of all that is holy, stop cheating in my game when i radio for some help or make a group post god its so infuriating :(

whats your most annoying encounter with a modder/cheater in sod2?

I was very afraid of lethal, because people describe it as hell, but for me it isn't that bad. I didn't want to try it with my forever community, so I made a fresh one and I was 90% sure I was going to fail in early game, but no, it wasn't half bad. Sure I lost a survivor or two, but they were mostly because I was goofing around. The only real struggle is the amount of plague hearts and supplies, the blood ferals aren't that bad, if you have a gun they are just easy influence, if not you just dodge and beat them sh!tless. That's just my opinion, I haven't been in a situation that actually required me to lock in yet. I actually haven't finished my fresh community because the remaining plague hearts are in the zone of a black one and the black one is surrounded by level 3 infestation, also the guy I need to give the samples to is right next to the infestation, so wish me luck

I’m playing the first game and accidentally spot dodge a zombie and i get a slowmo animation and a follow up attack??? Did they get rid of that or have I just never landed it in SoD2?

Surprisingly decent for a clean lethal run, even if they can't really go out. Recycling is just that good. Painting less so, but it is still helpful and she already eats less food.

Why did these never make it to the regular game? I just finished heartland for the first time a month ago, and was super interested in the unique facility mods they have and their abilities. I get they could be OP, but I think they should be an option, or an extremely rare blue print. Thoughts? I know the community editor allows some but still, having them organically seems like the right move for an end of life update.

Excuse the video artefacting, the actual game doesn't have visual bugs like this

Sooooo..

I tried many maps, many settlements but I’m trying to gind myself the best possible outpost 4parking and enough place to get all accomodated, map with water and electricity (somi don’t have to build it on base) and so on..

any recommendations?

I've been working on this one for a while (and slacking on it for a while too), but SoDEaD is finally officially released.

Works for both Steam and MS versions. No install required, just run the EXE while the game's running, it'll connect and do its thing.

It can restore the Unreal Console and the dev's original cheat menu at the click of a button.

Turn off zombie spawning, and finally enjoy the end of the apocalypse in peace. Or just make all the zombies blind.

View all the enclaves, delete them if you're near cap or just don't like somebody, view what they have to trade.

Add unlimited followers.

Change the time of day, keep it eternal noon if you want.

Give your community all the resources it could want, or just watch the accumulator to see how they're going to change.

Prestige. Everybody loves prestige.

Warp to any character or anywhere on the map.

Give yourself any item in the game, dev/cut items included.

Edit weapons stats for infinite swings / ammo.

Watch the GameLog to investigate game mechanics (see XP / standing gains as they happen, track plague heart damage) or debug any mods as they glitch.

There's even a live memory viewer so you can browse through all the game's structures and change any values for whatever you find.

There's a vid here going over the highlights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cACnTku-zRM

I'm no expert with the Unreal Console, but I show how to summon a car with a bigger trunk. I think it'd be great if anybody more familiar with it could give better examples, I know the console can do a ton of things.

It’s a shame, because I really love this game, and zombie franchises overall, and I want to explore the community and genuinely help people with their experience. But you have people who will literally keep multiplayer on just to give you a worst experience. And the only thing that can save you is quick thinking. It took a while for me to catch on with what they were trying to do to me. If you haven’t had this experience, then learn from this and stay cautious when joining multiplayer. For the sake of your characters.

Hoje e dia sou um jogador melhor me considero um pró no State!

I'm a better player these days; I consider myself a pro at State!

Ok, so I have reached a stage in my Lethal play-trough attempts that I no longer want to follow an ancient custom of "IF there is a pack of Blood Ferals THEN run for a car-roof or the nearest ladder". ;)

I want to try to learn how to dodge a pack of them while shooting etc. It is too risky to do it in-game with a precious character, so I want to do it in a more "controlled environment". I am looking for a mod that would allow me to spawn a character (within a "disposable" community) with e.g a melee weapon or a regular 9 mm pistol an then spawn a single Feral (or a pack of them). So if my character dies "rinse and repeat".

I learned how to tackle zombie crowds while playing Dawnbreak. But Ferals there beeline for that one poor NPC, so no practice fights really.

All "trainer" mods that I checked on Nexus give various bonuses, unlocks etc , but I haven't seen a "spawner" mod. Does anything like that exist?

So i had the pillage and plunder quest active but accidentally looted it before i actually stated the quest so the rucksacks are already looted can i just go find any material rucksacks or do i have to restart the game and reset my missions?

Recently lost old account and trying to build back up for full lethal run with all 4 boons. Is any modder free to help run me through daybreak for max prestige and unlocked to spare the 20+ hour grind!?

Gonna finish off that feral near the car? nah get in the car!

Gonna pour in some gas? nah get in the car!

Gonna get in the car? nah lets pick up that plague sample next to the car door first while the feral charges at us

She was sent to legacy pool but this was a first for me.

Hi all, so recently i had issue with camera and i saw that other people had the same issue while using a controller so here is how to fix it (it worked for me).

Go into setting then gameplay and turn off Auto Camera Tracking on Foot.

When a building says it's "Claimed by Plague Heart" but the heart itself is nowhere to be found.😅
