Need help with outposts

[RandalMcdaniel]

I feel like i played this a long time ago

and there was a thing where like.. you shouldnt loot an outpost fully before converting it

like if you leave some food on the shelf and dont loot it, then set up the outpost, then it becomes a food outpost right?

I rememmber you could like.. fully loot an outpost. Then couldnt set it up because the game didnt know what kind of outpost it would be so there was no option to set it up

should i be fully looting locations then clicking "claim outpost"??

cheers. Just got new 12700k cpu yesterday this is first game im testing! so smooth!

This was a thing in the first game. And you're correct - if you left a food bag in a container, when claimed the building became a food outpost.

You don't need to worry about it in this game so you're free to loot everything. Each outpost has a 'static' bonus. Tartan Marts will always be a Food Outpost, Clinics will always turn into a Med outpost etc etc.

I think it depends on what difficulty you're on. If you're playing on Green or Normal, maybe Meds since Food is pretty easy to get. If you're on Dread or higher, I'd say Food. The survivors eat a lot more as the difficulty increases.
