Facilities

Facilities are the building blocks of your home site.

About Facilities

Each facility will either allow you to produce needed supplies (items or resources) or provide other benefits such as allowing your survivors to recover from injuries, fatigue, or infection. Many facilities also have a maintenance/daily upkeep cost or require certain resources to fully function.

Every base has built-in facilities and empty facility slots. These empty slots can be used to build additional facilities, however the type of the slot (Large or Small, Indoor or Outdoor) determines what facilities can be built there. Some built-in facilities can also be cleared in case you want to build something else in its place.

The majority of the facilities can be upgraded, granting you access to a wider array of facility actions and passive effects. Some facilities will have knowledge requirements before they can be built or upgraded, and may also require these knowledge to keep the facility running and fully functional.

You can also install a Facility Mod into most of the facilities to improve their benefits or give them new ones. Some facilities must be upgraded before you could install a facility mod into them.

Note: The Materials cost of building and upgrading facilities will increase when playing on higher difficulties. The cost is determined by the Community slider. On the pages below the costs are described in the following format: Green / Standard / Dread / Nightmare / Lethal.
