When the PC greets another character, the player is given the option to take this character as backup for 100 influence, provided that character is not tired, injured or sick. A dead character reduces community Morale by 25 and negatively affects the attitude of all surviving characters. Another way of getting rid of an unwanted survivor is to switch to that survivor (once he/she has become a Friend, ironically) and commit suicide (by jumping off a high survey point or getting killed by zombies). The player is also given the choice to drive a survivor out of the community when that survivor initiates a Morale or Mercy Shot mission. It is not possible to directly harm a survivor however, the player might indirectly do so through the use of explosives or by choosing not to save them from zombies. A character's negative attitude can be improved by doing a Morale side mission if one is available, or switching to said character and finish a few missions or supply runs to change the attitude to 'Determined' or another positive one. Thus, it is important to closely monitor each survivor's attitude and keep an eye out for notifications on Morale changes. For example, a Sad character can bring down Morale even worse, if an Angry character is not kept in check, he/she may lash out and injure another character. Some characters are better suited to combat and exploring, while others are best at providing bonuses to the home site's Facilities.ĭue to the survivors' different traits and the game's random events, sometimes conflicts will occur at home that affect community Morale. As long as the character's trust level remains at 'Friend', the player can switch between characters in order to take advantage of that character's skill set. It is vital to spend time improving a variety of survivors to have a handful of combat-effective backups once the community's most useful members are tired, injured, busy, missing or dead.Įach recruited survivor has their own combination of traits, backstory and Skills. Only player-controlled characters can improve skills. After this Trust meter is filled, the new survivor is listed as 'Friend' and becomes playable. At this point it is only possible to recruit random survivors by using the Radio to offer shelter for wandering survivors (which has a chance of spawning 2 survivors at the cost of 100 Influence).Īfter a survivor has been recruited, the player has to fill a different Trust meter (by doing various missions such as gathering resources, which usually affect trust of the whole community). When sufficient level of trust is earned (the Enclave are listed as 'Friendly Survivors'), the player can choose to recruit all their members and bring them back home.Īt some point in the storyline, no new random Enclaves are spawned, the existing ones stop interacting with the player (no new missions is given) and it becomes impossible to recruit Enclaves no matter what the player does. Trust can be earned by assisting them in certain missions such as Trading, Supply Runs or Besieged. The higher the Trust level, the lower the Influence cost for taking items from their Supply Locker. Trust is the measurement of the Enclaves' attitude towards the player's community. None of the survivors in State of Decay are openly hostile towards the player's community however, some may express dislike or disdain towards them. All randomly generated Enclaves can be recruited, while the members of uniquely named Enclaves ('The Grange', 'The Wilkersons') are usually not recruitable. Many of the survivors are fixed and associated with storyline missions, while others are randomly selected and put in small communities (Enclaves with generic names like 'Friendly Survivors'). 4.2.7 Other survivors tied to storyline missions.
