* these numbers are estimates as the number of truck action points needed to move from one hex to another can be impacted by terrain modifiers.

Is there any way to tell if a hex is under the affect of a supply base? And do supply bases give administration strain If they do, they're not worth it.

The best location is under a colonized new city at the same location than the supply truck. (as it wasn't a city hex at the beginning but once you put settler you can't build that anymore.)

Now THAT is definitely a bug. You're obviously not supposed to be able to build them in cities.

-Changed the way Supply Bases are giving extension. They now only give extension points upto the point normal action points have already been used. This makes them function as actually intended. Will only be in effect with games started with v1.04-beta1

ORIGINAL: Destragon

If someone still didn't understand the change, here is a small example:

This supply base could potentially replenish 50 movement points, but because the logistics path has only spent 20 movement points so far when it reached the supply base, it is only able to replenish 20.



In the old version, it would have given 50 extra movement points, no matter how many movement points the logistics path has already used up.

They used to give extra movement points for the logistics trucks, now they only replenish spent movement points, which means you need to put your supply base farther away from your truck station to make it more effective.

Regarding the image above and things about it that I do not understand or know where to find the info....
1. Where can I find the receive and sent information in game? I cannot figure that out.
2. The line used 20 of 100 AP and then replaced the 20 AP. That makes sense, but what does the ext=10/20 mean exactly, I read it as extending 20AP, but why the 10/20?
3. What is BR? And how will that information confuse me at a later date?

Thank you

Since 1.04 beta1 Supply Bases had received a small rework:

1) They're providing EXTRA move points, not replenish existing.
2) Their effects do not stack.

Nothing changed in calculation except ideal place for supply base - you can (and IMHO should!) place it inside 6-hex range of city (to avoid administrative strain penalty).

quote:

That is not a hard and fast rule. The first 9% of administrative strain has no impact.

Depending on circumstances, and a player's future plans, an insightful and informed analysis should be made before placing the supply base.

A more significant consideration is the location of the next truck station along the route.

There is zero difference for having a supply base on 1st hex or 10th hex of route - as long as it will provide it's bonus BEFORE diminishing for lack of action points. Obviously it's a bad idea to place base on 11+ hex as you already had lost some logistic points.

So why you're considering to accept administrative penalty if there is no gain?
