All buildings have 24 hours grace period before decay (except rapid decay zone), so no Gsup consumsion yet OR 2. your base is being supplied by the Gsup/Bsup in the town hall, because you are in its 150 range

I'd like to add a few things, as someone who has lost their mind figuring this out: 1. There is a placement bug when it comes to corner pieces, that prevents you from adding onto them. The best way to avoid this is to lay out your ENTIRE base before building it. Do not expect that you will be able to place new AI turrets later, despite being able to place the blueprints earlier. The second best way to avoid this bug is to ensure that all the corner pieces share the same axis, and you build the corner turrets BEFORE you build the turrets between them. If you accidentally build the sections between the corners first, you will not be able to add more bunker pieces to the corners. This problem has lost me a base, because I could not fix it before the enemy reached it days later. 2. Do not build a backline/storm cannon base UNTIL your team is less than a day out from unlocking bunker supplies. Rotting bases waste resources, and you cannot out repair the rot on your own. On a front line it doesn't matter, because people are repairing the base all the time, and thus reset the rot timer. If you need defenses for scrapping/logistic areas before garrison supplies or bunker supplies unlock, I suggest building a FOB instead of a BOB. It's far easier to repair/replace foxholes than it is bunker pieces. Note that the FOB itself does not need garrison supplies, just the defenses linked to it. 3. The fastest way to supply your base is to utilize several factories from different regions. Typically, you need one truck with 1500 bmats to create enough bunker supplies to last your base a couple days. You will need at least five factories and three laps to these factories to convert all the bmats to bunker supplies in a timely fashion. If you want to give your bunker base other types of supplies, use of the mass production facility is recommended so that you save your team resources. 4. Calculating the cost of the base beforehand will save you the hassle of making multiple salvage trips while your base is still vulnerable. Create a private reserve stockpile (but make sure the supplies don't sit inside too long). If you are giving up on a build project, be sure to release your Reserve Stockpile. 5. DO NOT MAKE BUNKER SECTIONS TOO LARGE. There is a mechanic in the game where, if your bunker base has too many sections without any trenches to separate them, the overall structure is weaker. You can check structural integrity by entering the upgrade mode with a hammer and mousing over a bunker structure without going into the upgrade menu. It will take a few seconds, and then it will tell you the builder's name, the health of the structure, whether or not the individual piece has generator piping (which is needed for Storm Cannons along with Generators), and the structure's integrity. If the structure's integrity is 'Critical', it means it is EXTREMELY easy for the enemy to destroy. This doesn't matter too much if you see it at the T1 stage, but in general you DO NOT want to make bunker sections that are over seventeen pieces (I.E. a 3-by-3 octagonal circle with turrets attached). Otherwise, the structure will be too weak. The absolute upper limit, I heard, is twenty-four. Beyond that point, it will not take much at all to destroy the structure, even with T3 cement. Before the zero structure damage nerf to bullets, there was a base next door to mine that had SIXTY-FOUR pieces connected together. There were literally no trenches. A single enemy was able to destroy the entire structure with a few pistol rounds, despite it being T3 cement. I suspect that, even with the nerf, it would take one or two grenades to achieve a similar result. That's 4,800 bmats down the drain for minimum effort by the enemy, not counting the cement and all the components that cost, as well as the supplies inside the base. I will say it did not destroy the whole base necessarily, it destroyed everything within render distance of the shooter. Which might as well be the whole base.

one thing i'd like to know too is when the perfect time to build a base is. should we build bases preemtively or build them at the front when shit is already going down?

Perfect examples this is how you build in a live war.

3:10 I'd add, by all means preserve your sanity by releasing rightclick once construction starts.

Thanks hans!. Was wondering how the hell all this worked haha. great vid!

Wouldn't it be better to have longer trenches where the garrison has a clear firing line down it length wise? That way any enemy that jumps in gets merked and friendlies have more room maneuver in cover? Yah know like how real trenches worked? Edit: if in contested territory, sandbags n trenches arent cost effective otherwise

Forreal, they used to do that for me when I first started Foxhole 4 years ago but now its been slowly fading.

Thanks Helping Hans, I think I understand enough to build my first base though I know there is so much more to learn. What about building trenches in a zigzag pattern like they did in WW1 so that an enemy who got in the trench wouldn't have a clear line of fire also because of Artillery, although I'm not sure about artillery being the reason why they were in zigzag. Would that be good in Foxhole or would tanks cause too much of a problem and maybe as a game it just doesn't work out for some reason. Just asking cause I hav'nt seen anybody build trenches like that.

Thanks, this was a helpful video.

Hey, I just started playing and have a silly question. You mentioned if you have a small group of players that are going to build a bunker base do it in a safer location. Why would you need to build your own bunker base rather than just use one already built? The time it takes for it when you could just have a private stash at a built one doesn't seem worth it especially if your going to build in the backlines. Thanks in advance.

I would not suggest the standard player to build one for themselves. Bunker bases are more of a team effort usual built to hold strategic locations or to push up the AI on a front line and reduce the time it takes to get reinforcements forwards.

Good Video but i find its Important to say the Trenches must be destroyed and only build to connect for upgrade the Rifle Garrisons and AT Turrets. You must destroy the Trenches after because every trench connector costs 2 Bunker Supplies every Hour and its cheapier the trenches are destroyed when finished! And the Enemy can use it and can be covered in your own Base. All othe stuff like sandbackwalls and wire are costs Garrisson supplies to and must be build only when enemy in the near. Its Important for Randoms to search a Clan. Solo Randoms are very Bad for the Faction Procress in this Game. In the Wars are the Most Clans Organized in the High Command and are cut the Map into pieces and give every clan one of them to Build, Maintance and Defense... all other Buildings from Randoms will mostly be Destroyed.
