    I'm a big fan of the Farm and Pterodactyl Park because they're so versatile and have a couple of unique chokepoints. For the farm, I tend to block the eastern and northern entrances with vans or trucks. There is a gap in the defenses behind the generic building and that can be blocked with a long car. You can climb to the second floor of the barn and perch there sniping whatever comes to the western gate. For the Trailer Park, I do as you suggested and just concentrate there. I will mine the trailers outside the walls or even put two vehicles there to block zeds from climbing up onto the trailers. I love this video and that discovery you made of Fort Marshall is very genius. Keep going!

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад +6

      For Farmland, blocking doors will absolutely do nothing.. If you test multiple sieges in Farmland with different doors blocked, the results will always end up the same.
      Juggs can't enter the north door. So it is unnecessary to block it. Blocking any other door is pointless since they all lead the zombies to the open center.
      The south east wall gap is nothing to be worried about. When zombies climb over the wall there, they will just run where the fight is taking place..

    • @GyorBox
      @GyorBox 2 года назад +1

      @@StateofDecayScience -- From my experience, the only door in the farm compound to block that does any good is the one that is behind the barn.
      Juggs can get in there, and if they catch a community member in the close quarters of the inside of the barn, then it's curtains for that community member. I always block that door, and create the killing area in the center by allowing the east and west entrances to be open.

    I'm baffled but grateful for knowing that simply not choosing to repair the watchtowers could make such a huge difference! Thanks for that information. Still, I think I'll keep the Farmland Compound as my main one for Trumbull Valley. As you said, keeping a facility that dones't obstructs line of sight in the middle is more than enough to help with it's defense thanks to the open space it has to fight.

    Great guide! the idea of base layout is really vital to higher difficulty survival, but it feels like its barely been a thought in the minds of the devs. Watchtowers don't work, zombies just waltz through unbarricaded doors and the bases themselves don't feel like they are designed around getting sieged. Your testing makes it easy to figure out things the game doesn't really tell you.

    Wow, thank you so much for your videos, I really find them helpful!
    Two questions though:
    If I'm in the RT Daybreak FOB, what is going to happen if I already have someone with the Demolitions skill and I start the mission to get the RD Contractor? Will he have another random Red Talon skill?
    My second question is what happens when I leave the RT base in which I repaired all facilities before, and return later in the game - will I have to repair everything again? I moved in (on lethal) and was so happy about the Red Talon guy, but he died very soon after :D it would be great to get the opportunity to start the mission a second time (and not to repair the sniper tower). I am very short on Influence and basically on everything else too, so I can't just try it out - it would be way too expensive.
    I'd be so glad for an answer!

    • @StateofDecayScience

      If you already have munitions + electronics in your base, your base members themselves will say, "I can do this myself!"

    As always, another excellent video and guide for State of Decay 2!
    One thing I am curious about though - on any base that comes with a watchtower, especially bases with an already active watchtower, could you purposefully allow yourself to run out of materials and thereby break the watchtower? While I haven’t tested it myself, I feel as though it could have promising results on bases like Whitney Field, and increase their ability to defend sieges as long as you keep the tower broken.
    It’d obviously be a hassle to wait to get it all set up, but also interesting if it works!

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад

      Never thought about it. Don't know whether they will break or not. Will do a test!

    • @ErrantJourney
      @ErrantJourney 2 года назад

      It's an interesting idea, however, there is no way to predict which facility will break first. You may end up waiting for all facilities to break before the watchtower. The problem is for example, if the infirmary breaks first, you will have to wait to see what breaks next because if you fix the infirmary, ti may break again the next cycle before the watchtower. There are no rules to what facilities break or the order in which they break. It is all completely random.

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад +2

      I tested it. The built in watchtowers will never break. Because they don't have daily maintenance cost. Should have checked that first before waiting multiple hours for the result.

    Hey Rvid, I found a way to get the network signal booster and white noise machine mod which always worked for me when I last played the game.
    In Trumbull valley, you’ll be given a mission by Ray Santos where you have to find car parts with a Network agent. You'll then have to drive her to a place and talk to her to finish the mission. Just before ending the mission, choose to trade with her and you’ll find a Network signal booster mod in her inventory (this is better than waiting days & weeks for random network traders to appear). You can trade with her only before ending the mission.
    And Izbee has the white noise machine mod in her inventory, which you can buy from her.
    I last played the game back in November last year, so I'm not sure if you can still buy these mods the same way after the latest update. You should try it and if this method still works, make a video on it.
