Dead State Design Update

DoubleBear’s Brian Mitsoda discusses the “rooftop garden upgrade” that we can create for our shelter in the zombie apocalypse during his latest design update for Dead State.

The Rooftop Garden upgrade turns a patch of the school’s roof into a small vegetable garden. To start this project, the player or one of their allies has to meet a few conditions:

-A 5 or better in Survival
-Possess 15 or more parts
-Seed Packets (Special Item – look for it when scavenging)
-120 Man Hours (Time allies must spend on project – each ally works 12 hours a day)
-Another upgrade complete (more on this one another time)

The project can be put on hold, but scrapping it won’t give back the full amount of materials. Once the upgrade is complete, it bestows the following benefits on the shelter:

-5 Morale generated a day (makes people at the shelter more comfortable)
-20 Food a week at the end of the week (plus additional food if allies devote their full day to tending it)

A garden would be great until those damn zombies dragged their feet through it and ruined all your hard work.
