The two major features in the latest update include underground maps and the ability to create a safe house for you and your clan.

Safe Houses

Safe houses can be constructed on certain suitable places on the map including abandoned apartment and office buildings. They are only visible and accessible to you and your clan members. In order to build a safe house you need to be level 5 or higher, you also need to be in a clan and you also need the box of nails to initiate the construction (this can be scavenged at the pickup trucks, tool box and workbench or purchased at the Hardware store or Autumn Leaves Outpost).

Safe houses will show up on the map as a purple marker and can only be used for you and your fellow clan members. The purpose of safe houses is to provide safety from the zombies but also to construct your own facilities such as living quarters which will extend the capacity (how many clan members who can stay at the safe house at the same time), storage facilities (where you can stash your loot and weapons). In the upcoming updates we add new features and expand on the zombie logic as an unprotected safe house (barricade level 0) will be swarmed by zombies resulting in damage on or destruction of facilities and potentially losing the safe house. Thus clan members need to work together on protecting it as well as reinforcing the barricades. We will implement and balance this logic in the next updates but for now enable beta testers to try constructing some safe houses.

Once having a safe house establish you can build new facilities on the slots representing available spaces within the safe house. However you need to clear them out first. In order to build new facilities you need construction points. Construction points are awarded by adding suitable material to the storage room. That is scavenging items with barricade points.

Remember this is the first version and a lot more features are soon to come so let us know what you think and how it can be improved. Game balance adjustments in terms of time and cost of building the features is also likely to be updated.

Underground Maps:

Underground maps have also been made available in this version of the game. You can access them using train stations such as Bowling Grey Train Station at coordinates (10033,10028) for map 1 and Fulton/Broadway station at (10035,9995) on map 2. Besides providing a somewhat safer passage than travelling through the streets more features will be added to the underground maps over the next updates as well as train stations to access them from the street level.

Hope you like the new updates. More clan features are coming next.

All the best

You need to physically be at the same location as the storage facility in order to access what you have stored there.

For now storage facilities are only available at safe houses under your or your clans control :-)

i dident understand the part where you said "Construction points are awarded by adding suitable material to the storage room. That is scavenging items with barricade points." does that mean you have to scavage the materials?

In order to build facilities in your base you need materials. Scavenge stuff that can be used for barricading but add it to the Construction Storage facility in your safe house instead, this will increase the pool of construction points that can be used for building new facilities.
