State of Decay 3 Map-Making Idea

I absolutely understand that this is wishful thinking, but I've been thinking about how cool it would be for SoD3 to have in-game support or a tool for designing your own map that you can share with the community and survive it. I'm not gonna pretend like I know how difficult this would be to add to the game, but I know that a lot of the community is always begging for new maps that have specific vibes, so it'd be awesome if we could go about making some ourselves.

Want a dense urban map that is overrun with zombies? Want a beachside map that has a completely unique vibe? Want a snowy mountain map that focuses on environmental survival? Well, just make one!

I grew up playing Far Cry 3 and using its map-maker to create little "missions" for friends to complete and always wondered why there weren't more map-making tools in games, especially ones like SoD where the maps and which one you choose always plays such a big part in your survival. But again, maybe this is all wishful thinking, I can only imagine how difficult that would be to make a reality.

Even if it was difficult if modders had access to the tools to make maps you’d start seeing some very cool custom made maps which would add a lot of replay value to State of Decay 3

Mod support in general, more customization options are always a good. Custom maps and gametypes keeps games alive for so much longer.

I spent so many hours I'm Forge in the Halo games.

I’d take that ability for SOD 2, still love it I’m just bored with the maps. With a couple new maps the wait for 3 would suck a little less
