Lifeline: Are there bigger bases?

[SporkofDeath]

One thing that always bugged me about the original campaign was that the arbitrarily selected base locations were all arbitrarily too small to build what I wanted. Are there any locations in lifeline with more build spots than the largest ones in the original campaign?

[Gnarl]

The base is good sized, but it's restricted as to what you can build. Like no farm, and 6 of the 10 or so lots are pre-built.

And there's only the one base. It's great fun to defend though, Lifeline is about guns and bombs.

I've wondered myself...

Lifeline should have more bases it sucks we only get one and cant build everything.
bah my vehicles dont even repair for whatever reason.

[Poor Dick]

But you don't really need your vehicles to repair...

The only reason my vehicles took damage in the main game was because they were the most efficient way to deal with all enemies, save Bloaters and Juggernauts. Here, you just stop the vehicle and gun down every hoard.

It's not like you're ammo starved... I was drowning in ammo by the time I was done. I had 4-5 stacks of most rifle ammo types - and I didn't even use a weapon that wasn't an assault rifle the entire game.

Black Friday is the only base. However Black Friday has more useful pre-built facilities than any base of any of the previous maps.

Storage
Beds
Kitchen
Library/Ops Center (research)
LZ (call in support drops)

With four additional open-slot facility slots. With a Generator every facility is automatically upgraded.

[Team Mark]

Yeah but of the four free slots you kind of have to build a latrine due to the high rate of illness without one, so you really only get 3 free slots. Still, the pre-built ones are much better than previous versions.

[BridgetFisher]

There is no room to build the latrine, I dont like that the only base doesnt have room to build everything. I think that is mean.

It's not mean.. It's there so that you have to make the difficult choice as to what is more important? They did this so that you have to prioritise what is the most important.

In the main campaign, you always get swarmed in lots of side-missions and random missions that you can do... You need to prioritise between them all for which should be done first (same in Lifeline but even more important because if you don't have a high population you could fail the sieges).

I personally think it's a great feature because it actually gives you the important choice of deciding for yourself to survive.

I never built a latrine. Fully upgraded medical facility (I think for Lifeline it's called field surgery) took care of illness for me. Maybe I've been lucky, but two times through the game and no one ever got sick once I had it upgraded. I built a workshop upgraded to ammo, generator eventually upgraded to surgery, training facility, and medical facility. Should be all you need.
