Supply/Fuel Shortages - 1/1/2022 11:39:50 AM

I have searched the manual, but can't find anyway to quickly pull up my bases that have yellow/red exclamation points. Is there anyway to sort and pull these up in game rather than just looking around the map? My eyes aren't what they used to be and I find it hard to see all of these. I use tracker, but it just tells me when supply/fuel is less than double the amount needed, and even then it doesn't seem to be accurate as there are other bases not listed on the tracker report that are just as bad or worse than don't show up on tracker's list? Is there a better way than simply scrolling around the map?

Hi actrade,

The 'List all bases' screen (tab b) is your friend. In that screen you can sort out bases with low or minimal supplies/av/or unmet garrison requirements. You can do so through the toggle on the top left side of that screen.

On your tracker problem.
The default list of bases that comes with tracker is I beleive based on the default game map map as used in scenario 1. If some one modifies that map then this list will be wrong. You have two options, find list that is correct for your map or edit the list dierctly withing tracker. The first is the quickest. The other problem is the base my actually be ther but in the wrong region, again it's due to which map etc.

This is more a general appreciation of whether you need to react to those (yellow) markers -

They mostly mean a base does not have 3x its monthly requirement on hand. If so it gets some austerity measures imposed on air strikes, will have trouble through-putting supply, allowing upgrades/replacements etc. If it's not an important offensive base, you can probably live with it.

If you instantly react to those, you get distracted from setting up your main pipelines, with short-legged xAKs (and a escorts) available at the hubs to distribute supplies in the local area.
