Can anyone tell me why my guys are starving despite available logistic points being like 7 times higher than consumed ones? Are they just too fucking lazy to pick up their stuff or what?
Logistics man, how the fuck do they work?

I'm pretty sure red and black mean it's bad but I also have no idea why it's like that and how to fix it.
This shit makes no sense.

>>2086257
SE logistics hate forks, try to trim some of the extraneous roads. It may not fully fix the problem but it might.

>>2086259
Okay so I redesigned the road system here, that highway is now the only connection between the capital and Chron Peak, so why is it not getting any logi points? Interbridge is also getting nothing apparently, but even so the army north of Scylla from the first screenshot is now in the green again after just 1 turn.
Is the current points overlay just bugged? Both initial and preview points overlays show that points are definitely being transferred.

This game is so esoteric man, what is even happening.

>pov: you have been fighting raiders constant raiders on your borders and a massive dustcloud of a player appears.
It's time to endsieg.

>>2086255 (OP)
If your units are within logistical range but still not getting supplied, you're out of resources. Click on one of them and look at their supply tab (the barrel icon) and it will tell you exactly what's going on. You're either out of food, ammo, or both.

>>2086257
>>2086270
SE has some very autistic design choices but logistics is surprisingly simple once you realize what's going on under the hood. Think of logistics as water flowing through pipes: if it splits off in a bunch of different directions, the water pressure will decrease, and you'll have less liquid getting to your taps (front lines). Truck stations are pumps that generate water pressure, and supply depots help that pressure travel farther. Sealed roads are pipes with less friction. Using road signs, you can cut off certain "pipes" so all of your water is forced to go to in the direction you need to.

In your second screenshot, you have almost no water pressure. Upgrade your truck stations.

>>2086297
Hello Anime Cult, nice weather we're having on Laqisio

>>2086270
You haven't flipped any traffic signals? Do you have a truck depot in each city? Also, again, it might not fix it, but instead of roading to Ola and Gandy via the main road, you're probably better off making a road come from the NW hexside of the city to Ola and the water deposit north of it and out the south hex to connect to Gandy.

Also maybe it will fix itself next turn? Sometimes you solve the problem and it takes 1-2 turns for the game to sort itself.

>>2086337
>>2086340
I definitely had both food and ammo back then, I had truck stations in every city and halfway between them too. I tried messing with road signs in order to funnel all the points where they needed to go but that didn't work.
What did work was simplifying the road network to have less crossroads and then waiting 2 turns. Or maybe it was the railroad coming online that did it, both were happening at the same time. Now the points show up properly everywhere.
It must have been some weird logistic calculation that did it, that's all I can think of.

>>2086270
>>2086257
>>2086389
You 100% put a roadblock up and forgot about it. Right where the logistics stop.

>>2086394
It's possible I might have blocked the wrong road on some crossing I guess.
Whatever that was, at least it works. I'm gonna make sure to try and connect all outside buildings with a single road from now on and turn the map into a giant spaghetti noodle to avoid making crossings.

>>2086399
A couple rules I’ve developed:
-Only one main paved road between two cities.
-supply depot halfway between two cities.
-any mines or anything branch off with a gravel road, set up roadblock at the branch to block all logistics except for pull points. This way the building will only get what it needs.
-overlay railroads over roads
-always be upgrading truck and rail stations. One of each in each major city.

>>2086713
Is this how you do the pull points thingy? The dirt path on the right leads to an oil well and nothing else. Apparently traffic sign settings are hexwide, so isn't that just going to block logistics completely for the other 2 roads as well?

>1440p resolution causes ingame slowdown and stuttering

what the hell man, I just want to play the game

What's the point of Grenadier armies? If I'm attacking an MG position, wouldn't it make more sense to have a tank brigade advance while a supporting infantry brigade stays behind?

>>2088182
>What's the point of Grenadier armies?
Heavy Grenadier formations are literally the best non-custom infantry formation in the entire game, are you tripping anon?

>>2088230
Maybe I'm a retard, but I always attack with formations made purely of offensive units (tanks, buggies, walkers, etc) which are then reinforced by separate, defensive formations once the enemy has been pushed out (infantry, anti-tank guns, etc).

I don't see why you would ever want to have defensive units at the tip of the spear. Why risk losing an infantry unit in an assault when you could just steamroll the enemy with a concentrated force of tanks? Once that's done, move up the infantry so they can hold off enemy counterattacks.

>>2088254
It's complicated.
Having some infantry joining an attack by armored vehicles helps protect from the random ambush chance where that rifle militia managed to destroy your heavy tanks.
Adding a single infantry battalion attacking from a different hex will give you more concentric attack bonus, which is one of the easiest to scale and most powerful modifiers in battle. It affects all units, not just the infantry.
Infantry can help draw away fire from enemy units with anti-tank capabilities, i think the way targetting is selected is random, so adding infantry meat can protect your vehicles, which are far less expendable.
You're right about keep formations seperate. All the part, infantry part tank formations are kind of ass. You're better off having them be seperate.

Anyway, regarding Heavy Grenadiers: They're only 800 men per battalion, which is important in a game where population is the most important number. They have 200 mgs and rpgs each.
rpgs are the most efficient unit in the whole game once you get to micro nuke rpgs, and mgs are absurdly tough for their price tag.

>>2088254
Your infantry are goons that protect the more valuable units in an attack. You'd rather infantry units take a hit/die than a tank.

>>2086938
Yep. You are now blocking all logistics to that gravel road, except for pull points. So your system will only send 100 logistics points or whatever down that road for the oil rig. Plus additional logistics points for any troops you might have down that road.

>>2088254
The Grand Duke of Rapelandia is not worried about the deaths of some footsloggers.

>>2088254
I play in the exact same way, frontline infantry with machine guns in a continuous line plus concentrated armored fists where they can maximize their potential and maybe some mechanized artillery if I can spare the resources to bomb enemy troop concentrations (mostly for fun).
Tanks roll in and the infantry follows close behind, they can (usually) keep up and enter battles together with tanks. I'd probably get smoked in multiplayer for not using mechanized inf instead but luckily the AI is almost always busy fighting someone else, by the time they can muster up anything to oppose me I probably already conquered half their land.

>>2087312
>1440p
>never had ingame slowdowns or stuttering ever
>never had to switch to a 1080p cause I've never had issues
>edge scrolling has always worked
I think you might have a driver or gpu issue man

>>2090579
There's currently a chromium bug on 9070xt cards that causes the same type of slowdown when having youtube open sometimes, but there's no way this game is even remotely chromium related right?
Edge scrolling straight up doesn't work on windowed mode though, I googled it.

>>2090581
>but there's no way this game is even remotely chromium related right?
Honestly, maybe? Modern software is literally black magic sometimes so it's entirely possible

>>2090631
It would fit the description because that bug is triggered by high resolution videos and this fixes itself when going down from 1440p.
I just learned to live with 1080p in this game, that works as its supposed to.

>>2086255 (OP)
This game is a bitch.
Make sure some retarded alien life hasn't walked over any of your roads, look at your borders.

>>2093213
If there was an area on earth that had 10 meter tall acid spitting carnivores with steel skin that roamed in murder packs of 250, I wouldn't build a civilization there.

Hey, it happened IRL.

Is there any excitement for Republica?

>>2095130
After no navy in the naval dlc? Nope.

If I already like SE will I like this?

>>2095203
Reading the reviews it sounds like a love/hate dichotomy. I chose not to get it because lots of people reporting crashes and worse, truly braindead AI.

Hecking kek

>>2095130
Eh, it's written down on my little list. But I just got pissed at this game, I won't come back to it anytime soon.

>>2096901
Deus Ex Invisible War was good. You will all come to know this

>>2095175
Its an Ocean DLC, not a Navy DLC

>>2098798
you can't gaslight me faggot.

>>2098798
Everyone was expecting fucking navy until Vic bodied us with the blog post describing the god awful water jews mechanic.
Oceania has 1 good feature and that's the mapgen, but it's completely destroyed by making the only way to interact with sea zones through the water jews.

>>2095175
I'm expecting no republic in the republica dlc. I am disappointment-proof.

Thinking about getting back into this and finishing a long save.

This is one of those games that look really deep but you play it a few times and realize it's not deep at all

>>2102175
I do like my empire building though.
