we are getting up to 36 survivors in this new game. if we want to take the risk and put 4 of our survivors on the line to attack a nest or scavenge further away we should get that option.

one unseen screamer could be enough to devastate our community by killing 4 of our community members.

I am also hearing followers can’t die? That sucks, with 36 survivors it should be our call if we want to risk losing up to 4 characters in one bad day. Adds an extra level of risk and decision making for us.

Would you like to see more random encounters, hidden locations, rare loot, unique survivors, or dynamic world events?

What could make each journey feel different instead of repetitive?

Or at least that’s how it seems to me, since the zeds around them manage to spot me from across the street—or even further away—while I’m crouched. I’m in NO position to buy that item that masks my scent. Any tips? Especially since vehicles seem pretty much useless in the area affected by the Heart?

Am sad :(

This animation is not used in the game. (Sreenshot only, because the animation is broken.)

I find it funny how, at least for me, it seems like this story is told precisely when I'm playing with female characters; it's happened to me at least three times in a single playthrough.

i think my internet must be slow haha im still waiting guys… guys?

Hey folks,

I had a bit of a strange experience in game a few days ago and it's been playing on my mind ever since. I've tried a few searches through reddit, google exc. but haven't found anything similar. I'd like to start by saying I am aware this is likely just a coincidence, with a couple of bugs occurring at the wrong (or right) time. But like I said it's been bothering me, so I'm hoping someone else may have experienced it or have some sort of insight.

So... I was searching a regular house when I started to hear a weird noise. It sounded like a low growl but not distinctly like any specific infected or sound effect I've heard before. Started off quiet but then began growing louder. So I stopped moving, trying to figure out where it was coming from, thinking some kind of special infected was about to jump through a window. It got louder and louder until suddenly it just stopped. But at the exact moment it stopped one of those god damn carved bears just popped into existence right in front of me.

I think I was quite tense because I was trying to figure out where this strange noise was coming from, getting louder and sounding like it was getting closer. When the bloody bear appeared I genuinely jumped in real life.

The only explanation I can think of is the noise was some kind of bugged infected sound or unusually loud ambient noise and the bear carving just failed to render until that exact moment. But the timing was so perfect I'm struggling to accept it. But I can't think of any other reason for it that makes sense.

Has anyone else come across this? Even if you've heard the strange sound or seen the bear pop into existence individually? If anyone has a theory as to what could have caused this I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Anyway, if anyone has read this far, I thank you. Sorry for the long post, I'm not the best at putting things down on paper (or screen).

Cheers!

A curveball glitch broke my game. Had the container fort, and everything... and one glitched curveball taking my resources ruined it all.

Never going to turn curveballs on again, unless rhe devs can confirm they work, or can provide a way to remove glitched ones... thats just not cool at all.

Holy cow! It actually happened. Guess what Daddy is gonna be doing as soon as I get off work.

I think vehicles should be much harder to find and maintain in State of Decay 3.

We're already so far into the apocalypse now; finding vehicles in any working condition should be quite difficult. So when you're out looting and you finally spot one, it should feel rewarding. Like you progressed the community.

Next thing you know; your car is breaking down. You need to find parts to repair it. We know that parts will be the go to, but imagine that one part being a sparkplug.

In state of decay 1 when a facility was being built, sometimes you would need a specific item for it to progress. Example: upgrading a garden will possibly ask for you to find heavy gloves to upgrade it. Same concept, but with vehicles. This could also expand with facilities as well. (That's another discussion)

So... Would you prefer scarce vehicles for a more challenging experience, or easier access to cars for convenience? Let's talk about it.
