Resource outposts - those that grant an income of food, fuel, or another resource - can now be upgraded to unlock increased benefits and skill training options for your community.

It’s a day-to-day concern as you plan your community’s expansion. This change means that defeating plague hearts is no longer just a checklist item you complete before starting your legacy. Plague hearts tend to congregate where humans do, so expect valuable bases and outposts, as well as denser neighbourhoods, to be covered by plague territory. In densely-clustered maps, that could mean destroying multiple hearts.

Bases and outposts within these spheres cannot be claimed until the heart has been defeated. Plague hearts are now surrounded by an area of malevolent influence, known as plague territory.

To vanquish the evil, you'll need to venture in and defeat the heart for some juicy rewards. The biggest inclusion is the Plague Territories, which are deadly outposts consumed by a "malevolent influence". Yet here we are, with Update 25 now available, bringing new elements known as Plague Territories, outposts to collect, and a few quality-of-life improvements. It's crazy to think the game released back in 2018 and is still getting consistently updated with tons of new content and achievements. Even after all these years, State of Decay 2 is still going strong.
