Truck varients and other cheap facilities upgrades are pretty easy to make even if you aren't in a clan. You just have to learn what the assembly pad building looks like and which materials you need. The building is labeled on the map and you can hover over it to see which materials it is stocked with. The large boats will probably be a bit more involved.

The ships need new flatbed size components that can only be build in player facilities, plus the new drydock building.

Even better he also gave a “pretty please let me back in” letter to another streamer to hand deliver to the devs in Toronto.

Yeah we won't have to do any facility work if we don't want to.

The real bottleneck is last-mile delivery or emptying out full facilities, anyway.

I'm working on what couches we can crash on, there's plenty of interest & welcome for us.

i saw a self propelled gun on the stream and my interest immediately peaked, and then instantly cratered again when it was 150mm

gimme 120mm spgs devman, 150mm is just slightly over the :effort: zone for me to bother with because of hemats, but i'll build and shoot 120mms all day every day

The double screw you is that this is a BT variant (so increased cost, 18hrs mfg time), no idea if it would release with 150mm gun unlock or BT base variant unlock. We shall hopefully see come devbranch (Tuesday the 10th).

There is no community with self propelled weaponry or satisfaction of a bustling battery so I am pretty much meh about the whole thing.

It also partially looks like a Wespe and I hate it when the artists get lazy and use German stuff for Wardens.

artillery is my favourite thing in this game by like 10 miles, but also having to package and crane it onto a flatbed every time i want to move is way too much of chore, if they let me undeploy and reposition without that i'd probably find ways to fire even more rounds into random bases. rocket halftraks are great, but artillery just hits different imo

Nothing amazing happens here.
Everything is ordinary.

I am in FMAT so my takeaway from the update was busting a nut at towing, wondering what the new water phyisics model means for the ironship and trying to predict if the new trailers are going to render resource containers, fuel kegs and pallets irrelevant and how the devs will react to that.

This, but they're probably ocked behind facilities so they're PCmats instead.

(If you show up with their cost in comps facilityman will happily print you some)

A container sitting on the ground already does this. So do tripods and concrete mixers. Everything that isn't an unpacked vehicle eats msups. Those packed vehicles hanging on cranes too.

However cool that would be, it sounds like only a few vehicles are gonna be able to tow stuff.

I’m excited for partisaning a truck towing a push gun and then using that push gun to blow up more trucks.

Foxhole: Barotrauma diaries - The clown that got away.

Jumped back in these past few days since the announcement and still love the game but always felt Unless you're goofing off with a squad it's hard to do anything except run around the Frontline holding it, reviving/patching up, and now setting up rpg/MG placements.

With the new vehicles I wonder how it'll affect player placement/displacement on the front since maybe a small portion will be on the sea... but maybe this'll lend to more opportunities for behind lines landing with bigger forces?

Hopefully it makes swimming easier since now we have to dismount somewhere if not directly to a tier

I'm really on the fence about this one; there are some horror stories in Steam reviews. Is there any hope of being a squad of 4-5 friends playing for an hour or so and actually doing something other than skirmishing on the front lines?

There are plenty of logistics tasks you could run in that time, especially if you're playing with a side that has good stockpiles near the front. It can be quite satisfying just checking frontline bases for what's urgently needed, then delivering that just-in-time. Frontline base building is also generally an option.

Oh, also one hour is enough time for a partisan raid if you're all logging in at once and are organised. Or to jump in a tank and join a tank line. Or to run/join an artillery battery. (The latter is best done as a scheduled thing though.)

If you're in a more-organised clan and can schedule around it, there are planned operations too.

Game is fun. If I had more free time I might go back to playing it.
