About how long will it take before a factory will begin producing again after it is expanded? I expanded Maebashi A6M2 to (56)x 56 in 1941. It hasn't changed for 2 weeks.
Full Campaign

Hum, I expanded my Maebashi A6M2 factory and it is repairing ... but my Oscar factory is not!!!

I'll trade dice with you every other turn.

It is now the end of March 1942 and my A6M2 factory is still (56) x 56. I guess there is little hope in recovering it...it must have burnt to the ground!
Let this be a warning to all.

Must have 10k+ supply at base before repair happens and it cost 1k per point of repair.

Thank you!
What is the best way to get 10K supply to an inland base like Maebashi? I don't think I can fly in that much supply.

On the base screen, next to the required supplies, are click buttons that allow you to specify the base wants more supply. Set the requirement up for a bit (but keep an eye on it, it tends to keep going to at some point you might need to shut it off until it drops down again)

It is 31.Dez 1941 in my PBEM and there are still only 1376 Supplies in GIFU. Increased and decreased the supply request, moved in a Div and a HQ, but nothing helped so far.

There has to be excess supplies at some other base close by for the additional supply requirement to work.
You might have to send the supplies to an intermediate base first then to the base that needs them.
Gifu, I set it to 10k+ extra supplies and ran 1 turn and it wound up with 32k by next turn, this feature works great if no other bases are competing for the same supplies.

Every single base around has 25000 up to 200000. I lowered their request to 10000 to free as much as possible, still no moving into GIFU. Any other ideas ?

In addition, I lost 2 YOKOSUKA (the airdrop ones) during unload at TAKAO.

Move a HQ (or HQ's) unit to the appropriate base-hex. Make sure that the Commander of the HQ unit has a relatively high "administrative" skill ability.

You have way, way too many bases with additional supply requirement set, it’s like everybody at the dinner table trying to get the last roll. This feature was put in to help with moving supplies overland to bases or areas that normally would never get them and once there you release said supplies to resupply other bases or your case you need 10k+ to repair factories and will work if don’t try to do too many bases at the same time. Osaka is a major base and does not need the add req set.

I knew the problem was with me, just thought the 200000 at OSAKA would move. Lowered all requirements and finally this turn GIFU has 40000 !!!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to have a look !
