Survival in Final Outpost: Definitive Edition is not just about gathering supplies, it is about making smart trades. With the introduction of the trader, there is a new way to secure resources and expand faster. Here's our video on the new feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWr-2jiA7wY
Need 150 stone for an upgrade? Instead of assigning miners, you can trade for it instantly. Facing a food shortage? The trader might have wheat to save your citizens on the brink of famine.
Do you spend gold now to help your citizens in the short term or hold onto it for future trades? Do you gamble on a big upgrade or slowly stockpile for stability? The trader makes possible entirely new strategies for Outpost growth. However, trading is not available straight away. You will need to build a Radio Tower to attract traders to your Outpost. After parting with 50 scrap, you'll start attracting traders every few days.
An extra bonus of the Radio Tower is that it acts as a rod to absorb some lightning strikes, protecting other buildings in your Outpost. Level 1 and 2 take 15% and 50% of all strikes, respectively. Your Outpost will be better protected for the rest of the game since the Radio Tower cannot catch fire.
The level 2 Radio Tower unlocks a new type of trader who offers more valuable deals as well as rare vehicle parts that can be used to repair the decaying Motorhome inside your Outpost. The Motorhome is the hub for the new meta-progression system in Final Outpost: Definitive Edition, with which you'll be able to drive off into the sunset (or sunrise).
Our next deep dive will cover the new meta-progression system. - Sam & the Final Outpost team https://store.steampowered.com/app/3066310
