But it was hard to ship in construction materials to Umnak, because it was a bad place to build a port.

Ah, the Aleutians.

My thoughts exactly. Adak is a good base to build on.

Status: offline 		I reopen this excellent thread because I discovered it just now through a link in the technical forum.
I thought to increase the size of a base was costly regarding supply consumption but assumption n°2 in the first post does not sustain this affirmation.
I have readen somewhere a engineer squad is using 1 supply point per phase (morning and afternoon) when building but it doesn't seem to be the case according to this thread.
Where is the truth ?

I think the unit itself will "eat" 1 supply point per phase...is that what you were asking?

Building itself requires an entirely separate amount of supplies, as detailed in the original posts.

It is a great thread though, thanks for digging it back up.

base damage repair is 'free' - no cost except for the engr unit(s) normal supply draw.

base construction costs 1 supply per day per engr point involved in construction, in addition to normal supply draw.

(1 engr squad = 1 point, 1 engr vehicle = 5 points)

Status: offline 		Interesting charts here on base expansions, wondering if there any like this based on fort upgrade? Been trying to keep track of engineers and supplies on base. Some bases will need to improve port and/or airfield in order to go higher on fort upgrading due to huge supplies demand and if it exceed it would be spoilage involved. Not sure if upgrading airfields will increase supply dumps at that base, i know ports would.

Thank you. This information is very useful.

Max supply/fuel depends on base total size AF + Port (limited up to a combined size of 8, @ combined size of 9 or larger it is unlimited).

I think unlimited is combined size of 8 or larger. Been that way for a long time now.

EDIT: Nope, it's combined size of 9 - I just checked in a game.

This gave me a headache. I could scarecely begin scanning this thread when my eyes glazed over and I passed out, my toes twitching and my chest hair curling and uncurling.  But I didn't lose consciousness before noting that Graymane did alot of work and that many posters knew exactly what he was talking about and derived a great deal of useful information from his tests.

This is why some players (moi....) will never be as good as others no matter how much experience we get.  We just don't want to delve into the game mechanics in this detail.


I understand.. We have two basic operating means... Sound General Quarters, or Stand down. Anything in between is time for hitting the beach, swigging beer, and chasing... well, I won't go much further in that explanation!

So looks like it takes 373 days and a bunch of supplies to go from 0(0) to 3(0).

New rule of thumb - no 0(0) bases to be built past size 2(0). And not many of those either!!

Construction cost in the cold zone is doubled during November thru February.
