How to build more stuff for my home?

[Plumpeach]

Or how do I create more homes? I am only at the church and I used the two slots for library and sleeping area..how can I expand? I have created an outpost near it at a home but can't create anything there.

every home site has a different amount of space.. i use the trucking company, it has the best enclosure for defense and the most space for addons
outpost are just safe zones that may give you a small but steady amount of resources, you cant build on them

How do I find more homes than? where is this trucking company?

There are specific structures you can move your home base into. The first one is the church. From there you can move into the walled off house in the middle of the first town. A large farm near the center of the map, The fairgrounds, The large trucking warehouse at the north end of the big town, and two different houses inside the big town. However you cant move into new bases until you reach a specific part in the story. Eventually you will be radioed that the church isnt a viable base anymore and you will be sent on a mission with the radio girls brother who will make you drive around and look at a couple of the potential bases. After that all but one of the potential bases is unlocked. You cant use the fairgrounds until late game after the bridge gates are destroyed.

As far as slots for building the base "modules" each potential base has a set number of blank slots for you to fill and one or two preset slots that are already selected and cant be upgraded beyond the default module which makes you choose between a base with a lot of slots but a crappy repair shop you cant upgrade. Or one with a crappy kitchen ect...

The outposts are for setting up "buffer zones" around your base. Zombies and Freaks cannot spawn in the white area inside the red ring at outposts. You can also use the base management menu to set up traps at your outposts to destroy hordes that wander past the outpost. Hordes cant spawn inside of "safe zones" but will eventually wander into them. Besides using outposts as a spawn buffer around your base you can set up outpost in remote locations far away as safe havens where you can go inside and get supplies from the lockers if you are in danger. The supply lockers your enclave own act like Resident Evil 2 item chests as in they are all interlinked vie item teleporter. Lockers in other groups enclaves however arent linked to yours and only show what they or you have feed directly into that one locker. Now if you build an outpost in a spot that has some kind of known resource in it (Ammo, Materials, Food, ect..) if you outpost that structure then it will trickle feed those resources into your home base resource pool once a day and you dont have to worry about dragging the crap back to base or sending someone else out to get it.

You need to clear out the structures and then use the radio to move bases. The larger structures have prerequisite population needs before you can move into them. The warehouse and fairgrounds require something like 15 people in your enclave before you can move in.


Fred posted a lot of usefull info. The State of Decay Wikia also has a lot of usefull info on housing and there is probably a housing guide in the steam guide section for SoD.
