really nice information - thanks a bundle! [:)]
enjoy the summer!
chem!
Yes but it does'nt answer my question.
I think the unit itself will "eat" 1 supply point per phase...is that what you were asking?
Building itself requires an entirely separate amount of supplies, as detailed in the original posts.
It is a great thread though, thanks for digging it back up.

my best info gleaned from this forum:
base damage repair is 'free' - no cost except for the engr unit(s) normal supply draw.
base construction costs 1 supply per day per engr point involved in construction, in addition to normal supply draw.
(1 engr squad = 1 point, 1 engr vehicle = 5 points)

Interesting charts here on base expansions, wondering if there any like this based on fort upgrade? Been trying to keep track of engineers and supplies on base. Some bases will need to improve port and/or airfield in order to go higher on fort upgrading due to huge supplies demand and if it exceed it would be spoilage involved. Not sure if upgrading airfields will increase supply dumps at that base, i know ports would.

Thank you. This information is very useful.

Max supply/fuel depends on base total size AF + Port (limited up to a combined size of 8, @ combined size of 9 or larger it is unlimited).

I think unlimited is combined size of 8 or larger. Been that way for a long time now.
EDIT: Nope, it's combined size of 9 - I just checked in a game.

Okay now i know it have both AF and Port to maximize the supply reserved, still like to know about how to deal with fort upgrades though.

This gave me a headache. I could scarecely begin scanning this thread when my eyes glazed over and I passed out, my toes twitching and my chest hair curling and uncurling. But I didn't lose consciousness before noting that Graymane did alot of work and that many posters knew exactly what he was talking about and derived a great deal of useful information from his tests.
This is why some players (moi....) will never be as good as others no matter how much experience we get. We just don't want to delve into the game mechanics in this detail.
I understand.. We have two basic operating means... Sound General Quarters, or Stand down. Anything in between is time for hitting the beach, swigging beer, and chasing... well, I won't go much further in that explanation!

Bump, as stuff like this needs to be moved up occasionally.

Just found this - awesome thread and thanks for all the work!
So looks like it takes 373 days and a bunch of supplies to go from 0(0) to 3(0).
New rule of thumb - no 0(0) bases to be built past size 2(0). And not many of those either!!

As I'm just delving in to WITP, this last bump was very timely. Very much appreciate this info!

An important add to the construction issue is the effect of 'Cold Weather Zones', manual section 12.0.
Construction cost in the cold zone is doubled during November thru February.

I started playing in November 2019 and this thread is very helpful.
Thanks.

Great information that is just not very clear in the manual and just by playing!

Is there a list of what size ports can rearm ships minus Aux ships?

Who cares if it is, it would go along nicely with this thread. Not like we are going to fill up the internet.
