Save Your Influence for the Biggest and Best Outposts
When you first start going about scavenging for materials and resources to grow your community of survivors, you’ll be told to just claim an outpost. Don’t go and just take any outposts you can afford, though. In fact, you’ll benefit far more in the long run if you save up as much of that precious Influence as you can for some of the bigger and better outposts in State of Decay 2.
There are three different types you’ll likely find on your travels. Those which simply offer a safe space and maybe some extra beds. The more useful ones that add an extra unit of a specific resource to your base’s reserves every day, and finally the utilities outposts that provide base-wide power or water. Of course, as you move up through these, the more expensive the outposts will set you back. While 2,000 Influence for an outpost may seem a lot, having a constant source of power to your base is well worth it, and you’ll be rewarded with better crop yields and more crafting options as a result.
