Yeah, I remember that. Learned it the hard way when I moved into a region I wasn't familiar with. Spent 2 days just wandering around looking for a base with a low enough influence cost to move into.
Does anyone know...do your facility mods come with you to the new map? Or do you have to detach them and put them in storage before switching. Looong ago in the beginning, you had to detach them and put them in your storage or you'd lose them. And in re: cars. I take my best cars and park them in parking spots (by themselves without any others crowding them). It seems..that the AI takes the cars that are parked in spots near the front of the base.
Can you go back to providence ridge? Are there better homes than the fire station? Love this place, think it’s best in PR but if I can get a better place I’d move rn
@@GitGudFox there is always something I pick up from your vids, plus I can understand what your saying. I don't have 2 minutes of usefulness and 20 min of fluff.

Changing difficulties shares the same rules as changing maps. It refunds all of your outposts and moves up up to 2 parked cars into the tutorial house of the new map you chose.
@@GitGudFox changing to a higher difficulty removes all leader boons you have if you didnt earn them on that higher difficulty. if you want a leader boon in dread or nightmare zone, you have to complete the leader legacy on that difficulty first
Thank for this video, so helpfull! When changing maps, does your legacy resets as well? So you can switch between your 2 favorite maps to get all 4 legacy boons?
I am wondering if after I completed all the Legacy Goals and Personal Goals quests and after I switched to another map if the quests were restarted. Because they have some good perks like Plague Heart Supplies and Luxury Supply Drop. Can someone give an exact answer
Can you go back to the area you leave? In my experience breaking down rucksacks is the worst thing you can do I once broke a fuel bag open and got 1 can fuel and a molotov cocktail, when you drop the rucksack you get, I believe, 3 to 5 fuel so deposit and withdraw from the workshop one at a time. Doesn't matter I just killed all hearts in Drucker county. I never moved from Mikes Concrete. I like it there it's easy to keep everyone extremely happy 2 hydroponics a lounge sniper tower. I went through the level with no kitchen when or if I needed to make snacks I would just destroy my garden make the kitchen switch back afterwards. I discovered you don't need a kitchen to make them happy. This allowed my safehouses to be I believe water 3 fuel and 2 ammo and they can be left and taken as needed. I need a base that is similar to Mike's concrete in the other maps suggestions?
The game I'm playing now is an eternal one. I ignore the legacy missions and just move to the next map when the current one gets dry. The main focus I have is to assemble a team of the best survivors possible. I keep recruiting survivors and immediately ditch them if they don't have superior perks to the current crew counterpart (surgeon, mechanic, etc). This has bitten me on the butt a few times when I lose someone with a superior Hero Skill (which you dont know until you work them up to it). Highly prized perks are morale, food and bed bonuses. I don't typically care about penalties to XP and stamina/health leveling, as they don't matter once you max up. But resourcewise I've been using most maps to build up a stockpile of Bulk Plague Cure (which is why you dont kill the last plague heart until you are ready to leave the map). But I'm finding the Squelones Brewery Trick is even better -- with the proper setup your base endlessly stockpiles valuable goods from resources your base makes daily. So now I don't want to leave.
This is how I play. What map and base are you at? I just started playing a month ago. I’m at lumber mill. Everyone is ranked up and I’m just stockpiling goods at this point.
If you have the qualifications to go into an 8-man base, you can go directly to it after the game loads, but you'll always start in the beginning house.
What happens if you leave a map that has been wiped out (loot) and then Return back to it? Does all the loot from buildings get replenished with items or does it stay empty?
Yeah, it's all repopulated with stuff... including the plague hearts. You also will have no map knowledge of the region and will have to reveal all of the buildings all over again.
If i move to other maps do i lose all the stuff i have on my base storage? I dont know if i only keep the things i have on my survivor or if i keep everything on the base storage.
i cant research new areas with a level 3 command centre is my game fucked -edit im dumb either i did it a long time ago or you don't have to research new areas any more cause i see map exit on the map
No, it does not. I just so happened to be going for the 100 days myself, doing so organically, and I actually HAD to change maps (well, reset my current map) because by the time I decided to start the legacy missions, I had so many enclaves on the map that it was actually causing my legacy missions to loop back to A New Beginning. Just a fair warning to those going for True Grit organically (i.e. actually settling a base and not idling at the top of a billboard on a fresh save) to start you legacy missions ASAP so your map doesn't max out on enclaves. Anyhow, when I reset the map, my day counter was still at the 100+ value (I think 103) when I got there.
Was wondering I upgrade my command center to 3 n its says I unlocked new territories but theres nothing to let me build those territories ..is there another I need to do to bring up the territory actions? I'm in need of help .. Do I install a mod??
They changed the way it works. Once you have lvl2 command center, you can just drive to the designated areas on the map, and it'll ask if you want to change to a different map.
@@GitGudFox I need help, since patch 28, I can no longer do research to switch territory. HQ says the option is available, but button doesn't show up, and map exists are greyed out and it says "locked".
why reseach new teritories not on my cm its lvl 3. this happen to me before i dont remember how i solve it but i wish to change map im tired of thrumbull valley with lethal i cant do story mission coz of zombies so i want to change map and difficulty. how to fix?
So they eventually changed the rules for changing maps. You only need a level 2 command center. After that, you will see icons at the highway edges of the map, large black and white icons that depict the exits. Drive to them, and when you get close enough, it'll ask if you want to change maps. You can also change the Lethal Zone difficulty without leaving Trumbull Valley. There's a difficulty section in your game menus that let you adjust the difficulty sliders. Keep in mind that changing the map sliders will reset the map, but you'll still be in Trumbull Valley.
They changed it since then. Once you get level 2 command center, there will be big circular icons on the map that indicate where you can change maps. They'll appear where the road drives off the map's edge.
When i changed maps, i kept the car i was driving like in the video, but i lost some stuff from my supply locker. Not alot of things but i was not happy. but idk.
I think i half to leave cause my legacy got stuck, hearts are destroyed and also did mission where i get visited by some1 with information, new i got to redo selepration and training mission and again stuck
@@GitGudFox ok, tried to play again after years last time i played i had to quit to menu no option to leave the map, new game lags a lot it use to drop FPS only near plaque hearts, maybe it doesn't like the old save or cause of the new added thing, even after going to trumble valley same issue there
@@GitGudFox i also know a glitch that i played a day or 2 and no option to recruit ppl i had 4 or 5 and room, it wasn't even a option in the dialogue or if i remember correctly i didn't even get missions from neighbors i was pissed cause i needed ppl to move and i was stuck with progressing the game
No, only if you beat the game. Anything not equipped on your characters is lost when you beat the game. If you have more than 4 cars, those won't all make it though.
Zack has the right of it. Pretty much everything transfer over, but you don't get to double dip on the 1 time benefits like the warlord and trader boon since it's once per save file thing.
@@GitGudFox yes you right , i try to get 1 more survivor because im at 11 now and i already use warlord informant mission to get 1 survivor , yes changing map is reseting warlord legacy mission , but when i doing the informant mission in new map , i cant recruit the survivor , no room lol , haha what a waste , i think it lock the recruitment if you already done it in the other map , fyi i cannot finish builder legacy cause its looping at useful utilities

Finally a simple short video about this!
Fixed it even more now
Back in the day, you couldn’t drive through to the next map. You end up carless on the other side of the fence.
Yeah, I remember that. Learned it the hard way when I moved into a region I wasn't familiar with. Spent 2 days just wandering around looking for a base with a low enough influence cost to move into.
@@GitGudFox they really need more maps for this game.

Can you do an update to this vid for the jug ver?
I’m trying to survive for 100 days. Would this have any effect on that? I’m trying to get the achievement
It shouldn't affect things if you stay on the same difficulty. You can change maps htough.
Can you go back to providence ridge? Are there better homes than the fire station? Love this place, think it’s best in PR but if I can get a better place I’d move rn
the wooden thing is better in my opinion, give u 5 big areas to build and also free materials

Here's my question... what happens to all the stuff you have in your storage locker?
Nothing, it stays in the locker.
Do I have to beat the game to switch maps?
No, you can switch maps as long as you have that option unlocked in your command center.

Awesome information thanks 👍
Extremely late but what happens to your old base and supplies also do you get your influence back from all your outposts?
They come with you. The outposts are sold off and you are refunded a portion of the influence.
What about the missions? Do they have new missions on new maps or just finish up balance unfinished missions?
It resets things back to nothing, so you won't have any missions.
Do u keep everything in your stash?
You get to keep all your items.
