What happens when you leave to other map?

[TeamBreezy]

Could someone explain what happens when you've done all there is to do and want to relocate with the same coomunity? Like do you keep all the resources and mods that you usually have in storage at the base? Or do you have to start over

Yes, you keep pretty much everything. All survivors, your whole inventory, outposts partially refunded, facility building materials and installed mods refunded. You also keep any car that is in a base parking space (plus the one you leave the map in). And you start the new map already moved into the new starting house.

You keep everything and get refunded the influence you spent. If you've completely scoured a map you'll probably end up maxing influence to 9999 on the move so if you don't want to waste anything make sure to tear down your outposts and spend down the influence a bit first. It shouldn't really matter much though unless you're going into one of the highest difficulties and want to mitigate as much of the challenge as possible. Store resources in the vehicles you're moving with.

You can calculate roughly how much Influence you would get back when moving by adding the Influence cost of the base you're living in + each Outpost with upgrades. Then using 65% of that sum as the amount you get refunded.

Usually that means 3500 + 300x6, or 1100x6 if you have upgraded them all to lvl 2... and so on.

So if you get back 65% (ish) of 5300, that's 3445, on top of what you already have. To be safe, I'd go to the Bounty Broker and buy stuff until I'm down to 6000i before moving. If you don't have that much Influence yet as you're earlier in the game, I would worry more about making sure I can afford the base I want to move into right away (after destroying a few Plague Hearts if necessary).

What I do before moving is to produce stuff (energy drinks, strong painkillers, ammo, fuel bombs or gas cans) until I have 25 of each resource. Of course, before I have a cook and a chemist, I won't waste Food on producing measly Snacks. Before I have a pharmacist and a medic I don't waste Meds and Ethanol on regular painkillers. Before I have Rifle/handgun presses I don't waste ammo "sorting". And before I have a Workshop 3 and a Filling Machine I don't produce (much) Fuel Bombs either. Taking excess rucksacks with you in cars until you do is wise.
