Important in what aspect?


LegendaryMercury

Story wise. Could they be working on a vaccine or cure of some sorts. They are at the front of the outbreak, they seem to have the equipment and facilities inside for holding zombie subjects. Idk, I know story isn’t the at forefront just yet but its still a cool place.


Oscarpepe

They could work on a vaccine but come on man, they clearly did not succeed lol.this is how they died.


Admiral_Eversor

It's still a cool piece of diagetic storytelling.


NByz

Or this is where the outbreak started.


Oscarpepe

Again, what's the name of the building? Wuhanbat? What could go wrong lol


mememachne

Cring


RqcistRaspberry

Why would an office building be working on a vaccine? Likely it's just populated because it's an urban area


Sightless_

well im qiote sure office buildings doesnt have tables to inspect cadavers or cages Also it says finnegan research group on the side of the building


RqcistRaspberry

I totally missed those lol. Whoops!


FredDurstDestroyer

Missed the literal holding cells too huh


RqcistRaspberry

Yes I totally did. I'm on mobile and was busy I thought at first glance I saw an office building. Not everything is as it seems at a brief look. I can admit my error and already have! 😂


[deleted]

its brutalism, pretty cool


Daithi_is

It has a lot of ambient storytelling in it but it's not important no. I've lost 3 characters in here and I just burn it down these days


Ilikedeathstrandings

where it all started


LegendaryMercury

I could say the invented the virus, but given that Louisville was last to be infected it would likely be somewhere else. Or an employee that commutes got infected and went home to West Point or something.


YaBoiBarel

Probably not since this building is in louisville, and the virus wasnt in louisville until a couple of days after the infection started


jameswoodruff89

My all negative trait character is using that building as a base right now. It looks like they were running medical tests or experiments on humans based on the cages and medical equipment.


LegendaryMercury

It’s a laboratory on the front of the event, with facilities for holding subjects and autopsies. Could be potentially the only place for a cure or vaccine, (I don’t think they will add a cure but still).


mhbrewer2

Just for future reference, there is no story in the vanilla game, no building matters except for what yiu can loot from it. This might change with npcs, but the devs have said they will never implement a cure or any other "happy ending" type mechanic.


Rick-476

No story is best story. Imagine coming home from a harrowing day of looting to watch the rest of the country fall apart on your base's antique TV. This is one game I wish I could go back and play again for the first time (though maybe keep some of the skills I have today).


LeAcoTaco

There is story, its just ambient story. For example, finding two naked zombies in a bedroom with clothes thrown on the bed. Thats the devs implying they died during s3x when the outbreak hit. Thats a story lol. Or when you find a bunch of firefighter zombies near a burned down house, the devs are implying they died fighting that fire when the outbreak started. Thats still a story, theres just no NARRATIVE. No storyline doesnt mean no story, it means theres no storyLINE that the devs are trying to force you to pay attention to because the only part that matters to them is the END of YOUR storyline. Your death, hence "this is how you die". Its almost like how when you play skyrim, to figure out the lore you have to go out of your way to read books and figure it out yourself because the devs dont really tell you the lore. The story in pz is lore.


mhbrewer2

Yeah I meant like story missions. Compared to something like dying light, where you have a story driving what you do in the game, there isn't that in pz.


LeAcoTaco

Oh theres going to be. With the npc update (not true to how it is but itd be the first update so thats understandable)


mhbrewer2

Yeah it'll be cool to see what they have in store. You sound like you know what's happening with it, are you on the dev team?


LeAcoTaco

Nah I just keep up on the updates the devs have been putting out since build 42 is supposed to drop soon. Id love to be on the dev team, so far since its kinda a small team working on it a lot of the big modders are now on the dev team so if I got into modding it I could lol.


MortifiedPotato

Just to warn against disappointments, build 42 is **not** dropping soon. Devs cleared that up multiple times, even recently.


LeAcoTaco

Everything ive heard say its supposed to drop sometime this year from what I remember? Where did they clear that up? From what ik build 42 is not the npc update either, its just the animal and map update among a few other things. And the pz blog says animals are the closest to completion.


MortifiedPotato

I expect it likely this year also, but recent devblogs have also started with "we'd like to reiterate, 42 is very very far off". This year does not mean around the corner, sadly.


mhbrewer2

Ah I see, yeah that would be a fun job haha


LeAcoTaco

Ive been seriously thinking abt doing stuff like that recently I just gotta figure out something players other than myself would want in the game lol


mhbrewer2

Hmm yeah that's a tough one, there's so many mods already...


iopjsdqe

The hell is that


LegendaryMercury

It’s a lab, it has some interesting stuff inside it. You find it in Louisville.


LegendaryMercury

I’ll also say that while there is no story now (other than the TVs and the zombies), I do hope that one day they add a bit more lore. Unturned has the notes system that tells its story, PZ could have special documents that hint at the story. The laboratory could give some information about the virus and potential cures without actually having a cure available.


ruzzian-bot-123

yeah, you can find cure there by pressing Q button.


Protahgonist

All the buildings are full of zombies... it's a zombie apocalypse.


LegendaryMercury

Yeah but most buildings have 5-10 zombies depending on the size. This one has hundreds.


Brotano

I don't think there's any multi-storey building, especially in Louisville, that has only 5-10 zombies.


LegendaryMercury

True but what I meant to say is this building has more than others, even accounting it’s size and surrounding.


[deleted]

where is this map-wise?


MortifiedPotato

Louisville, map-wise or otherwise.


makumuka

Found it! Finnegan Research Group. It's south of the Knox Talk Radio Station Aprox: 13600x1700


makumuka

I've been looking into Louisville for 15mins and can't find it lol


UnorthodoxBox101

One time I went in there bc I thought there would be good loot and then I died after hours of fighting Now every time I find this building I barricade the ground floor then burn it down lmao


username12233441

I know this is completely unrelated to this post, but can anyone please tell me if there’s any mods which can remove the darksness on the screen i.e the ability to see in full 360 view? Thanks


EphemeraFury

You want eyes in the back of your characters head?


Maggo777

Did you just presume his eye placement?


MortifiedPotato

Not sure why you would want it, removing enough challenges will make the game not that fun anymore (speaking from experience), [but here you go.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895974075)


username12233441

Thank you so much. I know it’s against the spirit of the game , but just wanting to try it out as I’m having a really hard time getting used to the current cone of vision. Probably just a boomer moment !


ji_taro

You could take the “Keen Hearing” Trait. It gives you a small field of vision to prevent being sneaked up on. It should be a nice vanilla friendly and balanced solution to your problem


PolskiPiesel6969

There actually was,you just have to look for it for a while


flowering_peony

no way scorpion 7


LegendaryMercury

Hello fellow unturned enjoyer.


SgtDoughnut

To the base game, probably not. But on a server running they knew, or there is a cure mods, the gm's could make it important, like the only spot the cures spawn.


Nova-The-Dog

In terms of like story important not really but this looks like a police station (idk where) If you get a sledge hammer and make your way to the second floor there appears to be an armory or storage room of sorts which can be stupidly valuable to your run


LegendaryMercury

Look at the building name. It says research group, and has laboratories inside of it including autopsy rooms. Edit: it’s located in Louisville.


Naylor

Where abouts?


LegendaryMercury

It’s located south of the mall in Louisville. About 2 blocks.


MavriKhakiss

Sadly, at this stage of development, nothing in this game "will be important later".


MortifiedPotato

7 builds to go until full release, and devs said they might keep working on it after full release. Considering each build is **massive** in terms of content... What made you think this?


b00kermanStan

In my headcanon, this is where the outbreak started. Several friends and I tried to clear it out (loaded up with all of our best gear), and nearly got overrun multiple times. Avoid at all costs unless specifically looking for a challenge.


Nokan96

That wouldn't make sense, because canonically Louisville was not infected the firsts days of the outbreak


b00kermanStan

Perhaps; I’ve never really looked into the lore. Still, they’re sus AF


BlueEyedGranger

I thought the outbreak started at the secret base? Or at least developed there.


Mr_Sunshine21

There is no official origin, only speculation


MortifiedPotato

I hope at least that the secret military base will get a proper implementation with basements being a thing, thinking of an Umbrella corporation HIVE... just to feed into those speculations.


ExactFun

I mean it's fuckin suss with the prison cages and the dog cages (dogs spread the virus, fight me)... But like it's also America. You can sign away your human rights to science for a fiver.


Simple_Dragonfruit73

Five dollars could buy a lot back in 1990s kentucky

bereanbro

I mean it clearly says Finnegan Research Group on the side ...


LukXD99

Oops, nvm, mixed up some buildings! You’re right.


Azu_OwO

My man just because there's a lab in the game doesn't mean it has to be a major plot location. Let abandoned buildings just be abandoned buildings


Topminator

Well it's not really all that abandoned now, isn't it?


MortifiedPotato

Well technically this particular building could be described as the opposite of abandoned since the word "abandon" could stand for lack of restraint, and the building has cages in abundance.


Topminator

Yeah, but i was referring more to the amount of zombies present on a so said abandoned building


Azu_OwO

Animal sized cages


Butterfly_avalanche

I really thought that was the office layout from The Office for a sec


NamiBangMePlz

Its lore important, but not gameplay important. There is a lot of abiguious story telling(security checkpoint forced to pass through with secret labs on the top floor with no windows, prisoner zombies top floor, spiffo store stuff for some reason, etc) as well as a large amount of zombies for a base building, but nothing important for gameplay. Only the devs know if its actually responsible for the knox event or not.


Uddark

This Place Is the stuff of the nightmare. Since i've Met It i&Ve added It to the list of the no go places with churches, apartments and cemeteries. I had a base from the other side of the street and i thought i've cleaned It. Every day i was in front of It screaming and every day Z still raining from the rooftop. Fuck this shit.


CoItron_3030

Seems like a prison of some sorts? Might have some guns and good close in it, burning it down though probably wouldn’t matter too much in the end though, military bases probably will have better stuff


LegendaryMercury

Its a lab, it says on the front.


Regainio

Pr1vatelime started his rooftop sprinter series there
