So today there was a State of Decay livestream where they announced upcoming "Forever Communities" features coming to State of Decay 2, at some point in the near future (no date was given yet). You can watch the full stream on YouTube here or check out the below notes and quick summary video from the stream. So here's what is coming with the "Forever Communities" update (as of right now):
- Legacy pool update - you will be able to see a lot more information on the legacy pool screen when selecting survivors, such as their inventory, skills and traits
- Five save slots - currently the game only has three save slots where you can play three different communities but now with five save slots, you can have a community on each map (since there are five maps)
- Legacy recruits - during your game you can "recruit" someone from your legacy pool and you can also send someone away from your community and put them in the legacy pool
- Supply locker sorting - sort by various criteria and filters
- Salvage almost anything from your supply locker
- Continue after legacy - you can move right to another map after finishing your legacy
- Claim any base - so after finishing your legacy and going to another map, you can claim any base but it will cost influence and you need to meet the base requirements (number of people)
