Plan your next Infection Free Zone session
Our independent guide breaks down Infection Free Zone’s core systems, offering focused exercises that let you compare approaches and refine decisions without relying on hidden mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map Choice Comparison
Pick two real-world locations with different street patterns. Note how the layout influences where you can place walls and where resources like grocery stores are located, then decide which map better fits your defensive plan.
- Choose a location with many existing structures to increase building options.
- Identify former commercial areas for quicker access to supplies.
02 / THE GUIDE
Building Conversion Priorities
List the types of structures present on your chosen map. Rank them for shelter, production, or research use, observing how converting a large warehouse versus a small shop changes resource flow.
- Convert large warehouses into production sites for higher output.
- Place towers at key entry points to extend defensive reach.
03 / THE GUIDE
Night Horde Response Test
Run a night attack using only melee weapons, then repeat with ranged weapons and vehicles. Record which setup reduces casualties and how well walls hold up under each approach.
- Balance melee and ranged units to cover both close and distant threats.
- Treat light as one of the tools available when fighting off a night horde.
04 / THE GUIDE
Diplomacy vs. Combat Evaluation
Encounter a friendly group in one session and a hostile group in another. Compare trade gains against combat losses to gauge the practical value of each interaction style.
- Scout hostile groups from a distance before committing to combat.
- Trade surplus goods with friendly groups to boost resource stockpiles.
05 / THE GUIDE
Defense and Research Balance Run
In one run, focus your efforts mainly on defense, and in another, push hard toward the cure. Track how each emphasis affects settlement stability and overall progress.
- If aiming for the cure, keep research moving alongside your other settlement goals.
- Balance resource allocation between defense and research to avoid being overrun.
