![]() I encourage you to experiment empirically to discover for yourself, but I can assure you from a plethora of practical experience that it is much, much faster to move resources or supplies in bulk if you are going any significant distance at all. Truck may be faster, but when it needs to make more than three times as many trips for the same amount of resources, it is just too slow or inefficient compared to the flatbed. Even for a scrap field in the same region as the refinery you should use a flatbed the only place trucks have the edge is those scrap fields which are practically inside the logi hub itself.Īs for stockpiling supplies, well, wars usually last weeks, not days, so saving something until the right moment feels fine to me. A big part of the reason I use frontline depots is because the supplies are close to but not actually right on the Frontline, where the supplies can be flexibly allocated at a moment's notice. Sure, the enemy may reset and steal my stockpile but that's true of anything you supply anywhere, and supplies submitted to a frontline base are much more likely to be lost than supplies further back at a seaport or depot, anyone can see that - and the supplies at the depot can be quickly moved if they ARE in danger, whereas supplies that have been submitted to the frontline can't be easily evacuated. ![]() So why private stockpiles? First I'll point out the obvious: you have to submit supplies to a base to use them, and anyone can pull anything from a base, so every time I supply a base I am supplying the team. The reason I use private stockpiles in particular is also due to the mechanics: pulling from a private stockpile is much, much quicker than pulling from public, so when I want to share supplies, I just hand them out or give the code to those I trust. ![]() ![]() But the truth is I DO like to keep lots of supplies for myself and supply fronts personally. ![]()
