Why base building deserves a dedicated page
State of Decay players care about more than combat. The long-term loop depends on where the community lives, what facilities support survival, how resources are spent, and how risk changes around the settlement.
This page should remain a pre-release hub now and later split into facilities, crafting, food, medical, morale, defense, vehicles, and best-base pages when enough verified details exist.
Settlement questions to answer at launch
The first post-launch update should test whether settlements are modular, how building slots work, how survivors contribute, how crafting upgrades unlock, and whether co-op players can alter another player's base.
