[1.21d] and [1.21g] Extension Points dont behave as expected

[Schrubbl]

Hey all


Extension points from supply bases do not give the extension points they should give.
I tried in both builds, and the amount of points they give varies. Upgrades do not seem to influence this either. A supply base lvl 3 gives the same 10 extension points as a supply base lvl 1.

Did I overlook something?

Are you trying to chain supply depots, because that doesn't work that way by design. Truck logistics can only be extended once. Or is it just one depot and you just aren't sero g the benefits for that one.

[Schrubbl]

No.
The Screenshot should make it clearer.
Its a test setup; there is only one truck station, one city and one supply depot lvl 3.
The depot should add 100 extension points, yet it only adds 10 as shown in the screenshot.

I hope its easier to read in this one

It's working as inteded: supply bases only adds so many AP as the currently used one: if you reach a supply base with 10 AP used, it will add 10AP only. I imagine they are refilling a fuel tank: supply base can refill up to 100AP but if you arrive with your fuel tank 90AP full, it can only top up the 10 AP used.

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.

Recently I read about that here

Wow. TIL

Thanks for the explanation. I always thought they add a flat bonus.
Welp, not a bug then!

I always thought they add a flat bonus.

'Refunds tAP as Extension Points', but only up to the maximum amount of truck-Action-Points the logistics package had at its creation. So you have to use use your logistics first before you can refresh and extend them.

Putting a Supply Base one hex away from the Truck Station is not part of the plan; the Supply Base should be as far away from the Truck Station as possible for it to work well.

Variations of this issue have comes up, I've seen, a few times before.
