I was thinking that as well. Seems like in an area where you could grab some wrenches from someone, you could leave them locked for safety. Maybe leaving a note for people to grab wrenches from a nearby base, understanding partisans cant get to the wrenches, and if they brought them, then it doesn't matter anyway.
I respectfully disagree with mistake 8. I'll often do wildcat logi runs where I'll be placing orders, scrooping while they cook, and place additional orders as I drive to the front. Bonus points for hitting a salvage mine on the return journey for max efficiency! Is it something I'd recommend for new players? No, but it's super satisfying to see your work instantly being used by a front that needs it
i was gonne praise you, until you said return journey dont fall for this ocd trap guys, dump your vehicle in front and teleport back, theyre too cheap to be worth a trip and front loves extra vehicles for logi and suicide sticky squads anyways AND DONT GO WITH A FLATBED. use a freighter/train, if you are too cheap to grind long, you can do a semi efficient run by dumping 5 loaded trucks directly in your freighter(they wont need a frontline seaport/depo!!!), inefficient but still alot better than flatbed runs(also great to go from frontline seaport to front with freighter 5 dunnes if the closest depo/port super far from frontline)
I also somewhat disagree with mistake 8. I regularly integrate scrooping with production. I can usually do 2 scrap runs, pull a truckload of b-mats, throw them in a factory, then deliver the previous batch to the local logistics hub for exportation. I'd argue that a bigger Logi mistake is doing tasks that are redundant. You should look at where the logistics have been bottle necked and work on that. If a refinery already has 30k public bmats, do you really need to be out there gathering more scrap?
@@hodorba5567 I know this comment is literally a year ago, and the logi situation could have change since then. But where are you finding all these spare trucks? As somebody who predominantly frontlines but will logi when we run out of shit I can say we do appreciate the spare vehicles randomly laying about or stores in frontline depos/ports [It's useful for funny clown-car grenading, partisan hunting and for spotaneous frontline logis to do short runs to grab supplies from midline depos/ports] but the backlines don't have trucks either. You'll find like one or two trucks stored in backline ports/depos and MAYBE an equal number in the signposted carparks. I mean if I really have a look around, especially looking in midline depos on the map, I can usually find a truck, it is rare I have to build one, but there's not enough trucks around to be using a new one for every single return run.

Thanks. I'm new (Steam sale) and I did drive up to the front with a shipping container full of stuff. I just got in peoples' way and then found a storage depot where I could offload it. After about 10-15 hours I'm seeing the logic in specializing in a few activities that sync well, as opposed to trying to do everything on my own. A lot of this is obvious now, but the game is very deep and overwhelming, so it's not obvious at first: "Crates? What are crates? What are pallets? What are shipping containers?"
lol oh no! Glad you were able to find a storage depot to drop it off! Glad you are starting to get the hang of it! Sounds like you are figuring it out much faster than I did. Exactly! It gets deeper and deeper. I'm 900 hours in and still learning something new from time to time! Keep at it and thanks for sharing your experience!
I watched a few tutorial videos and managed to avoid all that, all that until the fact that the regiment I lead (we are all new players and gathered for fun) lost 10 sparthas overnight to ally using wrenches to steal our tanks... Now I learnt that private storage exists -_-
Nice! Glad you were able to avoid some of these mistakes! And that's a big oof! Seems like you learned a good lesson there ha. Hope you are still having fun with the game! New navy update should be fun!
Some of the first mistakes I made was not culculating how musch was needed. For example I was trying to build a medium tank... I collected a bunch of components and began the process of refining , (This ofcourse takes time) went afk to do other things to come back and realise I ddint have enough and needed to go farm more and refine again... something I could have done while waiting for the first batch of Rmatts to complete. In one instance, not only did this happen but there were some spare Rmatts in a BB right next to the garage that would have allowed me to complete what I needed that I didnt even see until I had begun the second batch of refining! Always calculate how much you need , always check to see if there are spare lying around and dont stop untill you have enough... so much time wasted in my early days.
Oh no! That sounds really rough ha! And that is some good advice. New players can make their lives a lot easier if they just look around at seaports, storage depots or close bunkers that can help them with specific supplies. Thanks for sharing your story! Cheers!
last time i was playing everyone queued in line to the seaport. when i first started playing i would stand at the local factory and refuel all the incoming trucks. it was very busy and i ranked up fast.
With Kids ,work ,life I haven't had a ton of time to learn the ins and outs. I think this video answered more questions in 10min than in 3 weeks of Random playing and trying to learn. Thanks
I know that life! I get like maybe 2-4 hours during the night. Glad this video helped you! My solo logi videos might help you as well to find quick task to do for logi during short play times. Those vids are bit longer though and my audio is terrible because they are some of my first videos. But if you have any specific questions feel free to join my discord and I can help answer any questions there! discord.gg/nuV7atBqef Cheers!
damn i did my first run over last night and i was feeling so bad , but now i will be get out of the road or you will be roadkill nr 2 =), and thnaks for the advice for new logi players
On my first day in Foxhole, I decided that I should do logi for my first week so I could be useful while I learned the ropes of the game. Of course, I didn't know that there was a tutorial on Home Island so I just jumped right in. I found a truck and a salvage field but didn't know where to take the scrap. Then my truck ran out of fuel. So I went to a fuel truck in a base and thought that I needed to package the fuel to bring it to my truck. So I clicked package and packaged the truck instead. While sitting there thinking, _"wait, this isn't right"_ some guy walked up and said, _"Hey, wtf are you doing with my truck?"_ I didn't know how to talk so I just stared at him trying to type. Then another guy shot me. Guess they figured I was up to no good. Fortunately, I then ran into a helpful sergeant who brought me to Callum's Keep and showed me the ins and outs of logistics. A lot of people assume that a no-talking guy making strange decisions is an alt. Often it is just a super-new player. Try to be patient and tell them how to speak. I usually type "press T to talk" or explain how to type in local. And new players, always be communicative. Most officers would love to show you the ropes. But you need to communicate and not just run away. It looks suspicious if you refuse to communicate while parking trucks in front of MG garrisons or emptying all the mortars from a mortar house.
Almost every time I see a low rank doing logi, I'll watch them for a minute and if they seem confused, I'll spend 30 minutes or so showing them the basics and getting them self sufficient. Someone did that for me when I started and with the repair high barrier to entry for things aside from frontline fighting, it's just the nice thing to do 😔🙏
I also usually have a Google translate tab open for Russian and Chinese so I can try to communicate simple things to them as well 😂 Learning to say "keep up the good work" in a few languages goes a long way
Oh my gosh that is a crazy first experience ha. No wonder people think there are alts all over the place ha. They think every new player is just super sus ha Glad you were able to run into a helpful player! Thanks for sharing your story! Really appreciate it! Cheers!
Great vid as always, one thing you could've mentioned as a bonus tip when talking about the perfect seaport is you can acces with more then 3 trucks at a time by parking just off the side as close as possible, which it did look like the truck was about to do at 4:38
Thank you for pointing out all the mistakes, I was doing mistake number eight and you talking about how to do it correctly will be very helpful. Thank you.
The fuel switch info was super helpful. I just started playing and it saved me from a griever who parked a empty vehicle in front of a garage. It trapped my vehicle inside. switched it to diesel and drove it to the side. Was of fun hearing him rage, he definitly did not expect me to know this : )
Glad to hear that! But also screw those people sorry that happened to you. I didn't know about the fuel thing for like the first 50-100 hours I played lol. I wasted so much time trying to find petrol back when it was super rare.
Kidding aside. Make some tips on agressive logi with jeeps/flats/landrunner. Maybe something about how to set up an agressive 5 loaded truck dropoff with freighter to places that lack seaports. Take some examples from this war with map locations. That would be really informative.
really good tip for big efficiency, but also very dangerous, i remember as a noob i was already addicted to the logi grind and at some time recruited some noobs to help me move my 3 freighters of 15 loaded dunnes to frontline. my smooth brain though about making a playermade stockpile near the border, so i can drive in any truckload needed at the front within 2 minutes of time. luckily a general spotted my triangle mess on the map quicker than a partizan and helped me deliver the dunnes after shouting about leaving 15 unlocked and undefended trucks near frontline border lmao i guess just go for it and learn from experience, i sure lost a couple that way but eventually you get better at reading radio's estimating chances of being attacked in certain places. and when it works it sure has great impact! you almost as strong as 3-4 logiman at that point
Good video, I Defford used yo do all the logi steps so I could gather craft and deliver but now I realise it's ineff8cient and there's a Jon for each task
My friend and I just started playing this game and he was run over running in the street, the guy just puts in chat: "Middle of the damn road" Lesson learned
lol! If you are in the street you are meat! Hope you both are having fun! Feel free to DM me on discord any time if you have any questions about the game.
@@RobertLovesGames Tons of fun, a lot to learn, but we built a little base in the backlines to learn the ropes and spent some time as fodder on the front line. Starting to understand what's going on and what needs to be done, I appreciate the videos!
hmm 5 months old, but i guess if its my algorithm it may also still pop up in others? :) logi main here, heres some extra tips 1: my rulebook says - in middle of no where -> road walker fault, you should know to get away when u here an engine - near frontline base -> truckers fault, you should know its busy near those roads with distracted ppl pro tip: go full speed to frontline base, but hold your finger on the Q key, to instantly break when u see someone 2: pro tip: if you change fuel of another vehicle, you get a fuelcan which you can use on your own fuel. usefull for if theres no fuel around, but there is i.e. a crane with 10% fuel left you can use that to get home. can also pull/store trucks in seaport repeatedly and keep stealing the couple % fuel it starts with to get infinite fuel in case there is non(altho really inefficient) 3: pro tip: you can use mass produce factory to make crates of 3 trucks(max 5 crates 15 trucks with big discount), there is a 2nd tab for vehicle crates in seaport, so if the trucks are out of stock check the crates tab!!! right click -> unpack 4: pro tip: at 4:38 you can see a dunne driving to the wrong side of the crane, but if you hug the water really close there, you can still open port, so in theory there are 5 slots for dunne trucks, great for when people are blocking the middle for refinery/factory it depends alot on the layout, for alot places oddly diagonal is the most usefull way to park for a good balance between factory spaces and an easy turn 5: indeed! almost always better, only useful sometimes to i.e. bring a couple rpgs forward if they only have alot shells but no launchers or bmats when they need them really fast(altho not efficient) 6: also dont go with flatbed from backline depo to frontline depo(very expensive mistake)!!! they are too expensive to leave at the front so u need a 2way trip. instead use a freighter(5 containers 1way) or ask for a train(10 containers 2way). if you are tired of making 5 contrainers aka 300 crates, just fill the other slots with the ports fuel containers vehicle crates or emplacement crates they might need, quick and easy efficiency. 7: on bases theres a button to submit starter kit, or alt click to drop them 8: pro rotation: - have a locked dunne transport and flatbed in parking, finished bmats in refinery and finished crates in factory yes locking on a parking is legal, if you want public vehicles go to seaport, just remember to unlock/store before logging out - step 1: fill dunne with bmats(leave couple slots open) - step 2: take crates from factory&make new crates -> dump in seaport private stockpile - step 3: switch to flatbed for a salvage run your bring in 5k salvage aka 2.5k bmats and use 1-1.5k for your factory runs leaving you eventually with too much bmats. when you got 6k bmats bring a transport container to the refinery and load the 60 bmats, put it in a freighter, fill a 2nd one from your private stockpile crates, fill 1-2 more using public seaport and the last 1-2 slots with fuel container/dunne transport crate/emplacement anti tank gun crate this way you wont have to do 300 crates yourself, nor have to wait for public to generate 300 crates and you will always have fuel and trucks available wherever you supply. also great commends wise, cause if you take too much public containers others are likely gonne truck your stuff to the front before u get to deliver them yourself and you only get 1 popup anyway at seaports(long cooldown), so might aswell only bring 1 public container 9: radio is your best friend :) 10: thats a noob trap, public parking should be done in seaport(cause it has alot more capacity, ordered nicely and has vehicle crates), the parking lots are also near the refinery/factory which is the perfect spot to leave your locked truck behind when i.e. unloading mpf(flatbed/luv) between factory runs(dunne truck)) without having to drop your truck and cargo back in seaport only to retrieve it again after you are done with mpf. alot ppl public park in the lot, cause lazy to bring truck back and theres always someone that needs it eventually so its fine. but its a half efficient chaotic system that should definitely not complain about super efficient people that temporarily leave their locked truck there, they have alot more reason to be there than public parkers. simple rule, if you dont come back within 15 minutes, ppl are able&allowed to wrench and steal it
1. They are getting rid of the instant break I saw! So this might be an issue soon. ha 2. Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing! 7. This button was no there when this video was made lol I need to make an update to this video. Thanks for adding all of this! Very helpful for new players! Cheers!
6. i still missing the small containers :/ Anyway from me: dont bring a wrench with you if you do frontline deliveries and dont jump out and fight with partis..just sit on your truck and force them to kill you not allowing to steal your full truck/flatbed..
Good call! I like those tips! And I really never used the small containers enough to miss them ha. I guess I should have been using them more often. Thanks for your input! Cheers!
@@RobertLovesGames tbh small containers used 2 main things shirts and arty ammo so i can get it why they took it out (arty ammo have pellets, and shirts you can mass pull with engine)...keep my WL guys safe there at the dark side ...i keep the WL colie remnant together in the meantime :p
Taking supplies from another bunker can be a great play. Especially if one of them way in the back has 300 shirts and the one thats in frontline use has like under 100 left and there are no shirt crates anywhere near and considering going out of the hex makes you unable to get back in. Also when i play logi i like the idea that the materials i harvested are the materials used to make the important gear for the front. Might not be efficient but if im having fun then its the right play
Only only only if there is a lot of surplus of a particular item and the front bunker needs it badly. Your example works if situation is dire and if not storage depot close has crates of shirts already. I would say you could also move explosives if necessary or ammo as well. Maybe bmats if the front bunker is getting hit hard by arty. And I agree with you as long as you are having fun that's all that matters! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! Appreciate it!
having a larger supply of everything needed for a front-line assault in a seaport or storage depo ither in the same hex or the one next to it can drastically reduce your running across map logi runs. that shits an absolute waste of time
Fun fact, tip 7 I think it was, where you delivered a shipping crate to a BB. You can do that now, pull crates from player and using a logi truck then depositing them to a BB. Anddddd you can repackage some materials at a shipping container, like this comment if your mind is blown, I tried it in war 102, and I think it was a QOL thing added in update 52.
4:44 do that. But only when you getting HoI4 or something. Sometimes blockade running ain't gonna cut it so you will have to spend like 10mins to pull shirts from rear BB (auto clicker intensified)
I think there are some rare instances where it’s alright to still do this. Like near bunker has like 600+ shirts and forward one is about to die with a lot of supplies ya know?
Lmao I had the opposite problem, wasn’t til 70 hours or so I learnt you coukd fill diesel and petrol manually, I thought you needed liquid containers, but I could switch fuels just fine.
Spreadsheets are for defense building and facilities in my opinion. Good logi comes with time and experience. Being able to look over all backline, midline and front line storage buildings and bunkers and knowing what to craft or what needs to be moved around is what’s important.
1. No, blood for the blood god. 2. No, the one thing the tutorial taught me 3. No, I just steal 4. No 5. I only do this for stuff like cutlers that really only get used on the frontline 6. Yes 7. No, I found the submit starter equipment button pretty quickly 8. No, I just ferried stuff from seaports 9. Not really, I didn’t but I never got partisaned 10. Idk
The dumbest thing I did was loading a pallet with shells from some town hall, it took forever and then this pallet was just crushed by a random truck. And I still try not to knock everyone down if I'm in a good mood and I'm not in an active logistics city. Like lol, banal politeness.
If I made a new video I would agree with this! I would also accept one stack of bmats for those dang vehicles that need a slight repair every now and then :D Thanks for the correction!
I have 2 modes, deliver crates, hit front hex mines, deposit in refinery, get crates repeat. Scroop/hit mines, deposit refinery, take materials, cook gear in factory/mpf, deposit in seaport, report.
A locked parking lot is a wonderful job for REPOMAN!!!!!! If a vehicle is reservable, it is now my regiment’s property and if it is a public vehicle, it goes into public storage.
It's really simple On frontlines Logi en route : Has Right of Way Logi returning : Tanks Has right of Way On Mid-lines Logi en route : Has Right of Way, unless it's QRF Logi returning : Tanks Has right of Way, specially if its QRF On Rear Lines Logi en route : Has Right of Way, unless it's QRF Logi returning : Has Right of Wat, unless it's QRF
Need a truck or a flatbed but neither the seaport nor the parking lot has any? No problem. Every front is flooded with them. Just grab a wrench and liberate these rmats from the void.
This is one of my first videos. I will make a better one soon. Thanks for your feedback. #6 is bad because you are creating clutter and trash in places that don't need those items. It's not a big deal but just more of an annoying thing some players do. #7 Doing all of the logi steps of gathering, refining, and then crafting items and then delivering them to the front that takes to much time. By the time you do all of those steps the front might be lost or the supplies they need would have been delivered already. Instead choose one thing to do like gathering and refining for night so that way the next time you play you can just focus on crafting and delivering. Does that make sense?
Yep no problem! Here it is and setup. Let me know if you need any help with it or have any other questions! Color Mod UI Icon Label Mod Review Foxhole ruclips.net/video/YAgM_-yV0ys/видео.html
After training a few people I had to tell them to get supplies from storage depots and seaports and not other bunkers. So maybe I explained it wrong. Thanks for letting me know! Cheers!
My audio is really poor in this but here is how to add the color mods. ruclips.net/video/YAgM_-yV0ys/видео.html Let me know if you have any other questions!
6:13 "steal their supplies" if the supplies are public, ain't their supplies. Yeah, better things to do with your time than moving supplies around, but I find it silly that someone "owns" the supplies if they don't bother to keep it reserved for them. If they let that lapse, it's fair game.
Not really a matter of them being public you just don't also want to make your back bunkers weaker trying to reinforce the front bunker. Then all your defenses fall apart really fast.
If you have time, but otherwise they should know better not to be on the road. Side note if you are in tank off the road also never feel bad about running infantry over. Your life is more valuable than theirs.
That's certainly one day to do it and some players prefer to do it that way. I think there is just more efficient ways to use your time as logi that don't involve doing the entire logi loop in one go. It's all personal preference of course. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Yeah yar first mistake commending people when you run over them was a total bad idea he/she might be a alt so yeah i do agree on just doing yar bussyness even if ya commit hit and run
Depends I would say. Are there already 20+ in storage/seaport near you? Then just grab one of them. If there are none then build one. I've had nights where there were no logi trucks in a seaport in the backline so I spent the next hour building like 10+ trucks just to put into the seaport for others to grab and use.
you can build 15 at once in the massive produce factory without hammering and with big discount(long waiting time tho), altho its a bit boring to collect the crates of 3 with flatbed so if you feel like making them manually go ahead, they cheap anyways so discount not that important

last time i was playing everyone queued in line to the seaport. when i first started playing i would stand at the local factory and refuel all the incoming trucks. it was very busy and i ranked up fast.
I always see some fuel guys from time to time still trying to farm some commends ha
4:18 they taught us early in the training for the 27th to always park like this. seeing such a beautiful example of parking is amazing
Ha! Great to hear! I agree especially the factor one. I rarely see the factory one though. People are constantly just smashing up against it wherever.
With Kids ,work ,life I haven't had a ton of time to learn the ins and outs. I think this video answered more questions in 10min than in 3 weeks of Random playing and trying to learn. Thanks
I know that life! I get like maybe 2-4 hours during the night. Glad this video helped you! My solo logi videos might help you as well to find quick task to do for logi during short play times. Those vids are bit longer though and my audio is terrible because they are some of my first videos.
But if you have any specific questions feel free to join my discord and I can help answer any questions there!

damn i did my first run over last night and i was feeling so bad , but now i will be get out of the road or you will be roadkill nr 2 =), and thnaks for the advice for new logi players
Ha no problem! It won’t take long for you to not feel bad about the road kill.
Cheers!
On my first day in Foxhole, I decided that I should do logi for my first week so I could be useful while I learned the ropes of the game.
Of course, I didn't know that there was a tutorial on Home Island so I just jumped right in. I found a truck and a salvage field but didn't know where to take the scrap. Then my truck ran out of fuel. So I went to a fuel truck in a base and thought that I needed to package the fuel to bring it to my truck. So I clicked package and packaged the truck instead. While sitting there thinking, _"wait, this isn't right"_ some guy walked up and said, _"Hey, wtf are you doing with my truck?"_
I didn't know how to talk so I just stared at him trying to type. Then another guy shot me. Guess they figured I was up to no good.
Fortunately, I then ran into a helpful sergeant who brought me to Callum's Keep and showed me the ins and outs of logistics.
A lot of people assume that a no-talking guy making strange decisions is an alt. Often it is just a super-new player. Try to be patient and tell them how to speak. I usually type "press T to talk" or explain how to type in local.
And new players, always be communicative. Most officers would love to show you the ropes. But you need to communicate and not just run away. It looks suspicious if you refuse to communicate while parking trucks in front of MG garrisons or emptying all the mortars from a mortar house.
Almost every time I see a low rank doing logi, I'll watch them for a minute and if they seem confused, I'll spend 30 minutes or so showing them the basics and getting them self sufficient.
Someone did that for me when I started and with the repair high barrier to entry for things aside from frontline fighting, it's just the nice thing to do 😔🙏
I also usually have a Google translate tab open for Russian and Chinese so I can try to communicate simple things to them as well 😂
Learning to say "keep up the good work" in a few languages goes a long way
@@kevinweaver2445 You're a gentleman and a true born leader.
Oh my gosh that is a crazy first experience ha. No wonder people think there are alts all over the place ha. They think every new player is just super sus ha
Glad you were able to run into a helpful player!
Thanks for sharing your story! Really appreciate it!
Cheers!
Great vid as always, one thing you could've mentioned as a bonus tip when talking about the perfect seaport is you can acces with more then 3 trucks at a time by parking just off the side as close as possible, which it did look like the truck was about to do at 4:38
Thanks! I was wondering if that was possible I’ve never done it unless I was using a small engine.
Thanks for the kind words! Cheers!
Thank you for pointing out all the mistakes, I was doing mistake number eight and you talking about how to do it correctly will be very helpful. Thank you.
No problem! These were all mistakes I made when I first started so I'm glad I can help some fellow logi players not make the same ones I did :D
If you hear a truck coming and don’t move out of the street it’s kind of your own fault for getting hit.
Agreed! Logi stops for no one!
The fuel switch info was super helpful. I just started playing and it saved me from a griever who parked a empty vehicle in front of a garage. It trapped my vehicle inside. switched it to diesel and drove it to the side. Was of fun hearing him rage, he definitly did not expect me to know this : )
Glad to hear that! But also screw those people sorry that happened to you. I didn't know about the fuel thing for like the first 50-100 hours I played lol. I wasted so much time trying to find petrol back when it was super rare.
Kidding aside. Make some tips on agressive logi with jeeps/flats/landrunner. Maybe something about how to set up an agressive 5 loaded truck dropoff with freighter to places that lack seaports. Take some examples from this war with map locations. That would be really informative.
I’ll work on that! Thanks for the input and feedback! Cheers!
really good tip for big efficiency, but also very dangerous, i remember as a noob i was already addicted to the logi grind and at some time recruited some noobs to help me move my 3 freighters of 15 loaded dunnes to frontline.
my smooth brain though about making a playermade stockpile near the border, so i can drive in any truckload needed at the front within 2 minutes of time. luckily a general spotted my triangle mess on the map quicker than a partizan and helped me deliver the dunnes after shouting about leaving 15 unlocked and undefended trucks near frontline border lmao
i guess just go for it and learn from experience, i sure lost a couple that way but eventually you get better at reading radio's estimating chances of being attacked in certain places. and when it works it sure has great impact! you almost as strong as 3-4 logiman at that point
Good video, I Defford used yo do all the logi steps so I could gather craft and deliver but now I realise it's ineff8cient and there's a Jon for each task
Thank you! And yes! Breaking up the task can help with your sanity ha
Having serious culture shock hearing "the green guys are the bad guys" 😔
Everyone says kill green guys and never how are green guys. 😔
@@RobertLovesGames thank you for saying this 😔🙏
My friend and I just started playing this game and he was run over running in the street, the guy just puts in chat: "Middle of the damn road"
Lesson learned
lol! If you are in the street you are meat! Hope you both are having fun! Feel free to DM me on discord any time if you have any questions about the game.
@@RobertLovesGames Tons of fun, a lot to learn, but we built a little base in the backlines to learn the ropes and spent some time as fodder on the front line. Starting to understand what's going on and what needs to be done, I appreciate the videos!
hmm 5 months old, but i guess if its my algorithm it may also still pop up in others? :)
logi main here, heres some extra tips
1: my rulebook says
- in middle of no where -> road walker fault, you should know to get away when u here an engine
- near frontline base -> truckers fault, you should know its busy near those roads with distracted ppl
pro tip: go full speed to frontline base, but hold your finger on the Q key, to instantly break when u see someone
2:
pro tip: if you change fuel of another vehicle, you get a fuelcan which you can use on your own fuel. usefull for if theres no fuel around, but there is i.e. a crane with 10% fuel left you can use that to get home.
can also pull/store trucks in seaport repeatedly and keep stealing the couple % fuel it starts with to get infinite fuel in case there is non(altho really inefficient)
3:
pro tip: you can use mass produce factory to make crates of 3 trucks(max 5 crates 15 trucks with big discount), there is a 2nd tab for vehicle crates in seaport, so if the trucks are out of stock check the crates tab!!!
right click -> unpack
4:
pro tip: at 4:38 you can see a dunne driving to the wrong side of the crane, but if you hug the water really close there, you can still open port, so in theory there are 5 slots for dunne trucks, great for when people are blocking the middle
for refinery/factory it depends alot on the layout, for alot places oddly diagonal is the most usefull way to park for a good balance between factory spaces and an easy turn
5: indeed! almost always better, only useful sometimes to i.e. bring a couple rpgs forward if they only have alot shells but no launchers or bmats when they need them really fast(altho not efficient)
6: also dont go with flatbed from backline depo to frontline depo(very expensive mistake)!!! they are too expensive to leave at the front so u need a 2way trip. instead use a freighter(5 containers 1way) or ask for a train(10 containers 2way). if you are tired of making 5 contrainers aka 300 crates, just fill the other slots with the ports fuel containers vehicle crates or emplacement crates they might need, quick and easy efficiency.
7:
on bases theres a button to submit starter kit, or alt click to drop them
8:
pro rotation:
- have a locked dunne transport and flatbed in parking, finished bmats in refinery and finished crates in factory
yes locking on a parking is legal, if you want public vehicles go to seaport, just remember to unlock/store before logging out
- step 1: fill dunne with bmats(leave couple slots open)
- step 2: take crates from factory&make new crates -> dump in seaport private stockpile
- step 3: switch to flatbed for a salvage run
your bring in 5k salvage aka 2.5k bmats and use 1-1.5k for your factory runs
leaving you eventually with too much bmats. when you got 6k bmats bring a transport container to the refinery and load the 60 bmats, put it in a freighter, fill a 2nd one from your private stockpile crates, fill 1-2 more using public seaport and the last 1-2 slots with fuel container/dunne transport crate/emplacement anti tank gun crate
this way you wont have to do 300 crates yourself, nor have to wait for public to generate 300 crates
and you will always have fuel and trucks available wherever you supply. also great commends wise, cause if you take too much public containers others are likely gonne truck your stuff to the front before u get to deliver them yourself and you only get 1 popup anyway at seaports(long cooldown), so might aswell only bring 1 public container
9: radio is your best friend :)
10: thats a noob trap, public parking should be done in seaport(cause it has alot more capacity, ordered nicely and has vehicle crates), the parking lots are also near the refinery/factory which is the perfect spot to leave your locked truck behind when i.e. unloading mpf(flatbed/luv) between factory runs(dunne truck)) without having to drop your truck and cargo back in seaport only to retrieve it again after you are done with mpf.
alot ppl public park in the lot, cause lazy to bring truck back and theres always someone that needs it eventually so its fine. but its a half efficient chaotic system that should definitely not complain about super efficient people that temporarily leave their locked truck there, they have alot more reason to be there than public parkers.
simple rule, if you dont come back within 15 minutes, ppl are able&allowed to wrench and steal it
1. They are getting rid of the instant break I saw! So this might be an issue soon. ha
2. Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing!
7. This button was no there when this video was made lol
I need to make an update to this video.
Thanks for adding all of this! Very helpful for new players! Cheers!
oh really? im gonne miss my instant break then haha, but it sure didnt make any sense that its possible XD
6. i still missing the small containers :/
Anyway from me: dont bring a wrench with you if you do frontline deliveries and dont jump out and fight with partis..just sit on your truck and force them to kill you not allowing to steal your full truck/flatbed..
Good call! I like those tips!
And I really never used the small containers enough to miss them ha. I guess I should have been using them more often.
Thanks for your input! Cheers!
@@RobertLovesGames tbh small containers used 2 main things shirts and arty ammo so i can get it why they took it out (arty ammo have pellets, and shirts you can mass pull with engine)...keep my WL guys safe there at the dark side ...i keep the WL colie remnant together in the meantime :p
@@zoltandavid9649 Ahhh gotcha. Thanks for the info!
And will do! I might see you on the green side as I may come over with WL for one war :D
Cheers!
The running over sequence was funny af
Ha! Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Taking supplies from another bunker can be a great play. Especially if one of them way in the back has 300 shirts and the one thats in frontline use has like under 100 left and there are no shirt crates anywhere near and considering going out of the hex makes you unable to get back in. Also when i play logi i like the idea that the materials i harvested are the materials used to make the important gear for the front. Might not be efficient but if im having fun then its the right play
Only only only if there is a lot of surplus of a particular item and the front bunker needs it badly.
Your example works if situation is dire and if not storage depot close has crates of shirts already. I would say you could also move explosives if necessary or ammo as well. Maybe bmats if the front bunker is getting hit hard by arty.
And I agree with you as long as you are having fun that's all that matters!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! Appreciate it!
At 0:36 you swerved to hit that guy 💀💀
If your in the street your meat! And they were like in the dead middle lol. No avoiding that one.
@ you didn’t have to hit him 💀💀💀 now he gotta get all his stuff again lmao
Foxhole, use truck to build more truck, eith new truck mass produce more truck, foxhole logistics in a nutshell
Lol I see no lies here. The other night I just got on and made 10 logi trucks for other people to use.
@@RobertLovesGames are ya in the colys or the wardens this war?
Wardens this war and probably for next 3-4 wars. Then I’ll do another collie war. You?
I didn't know there was an auto fill button for trucks, used to fill them by hand haha
Lol oh no!
having a larger supply of everything needed for a front-line assault in a seaport or storage depo ither in the same hex or the one next to it can drastically reduce your running across map logi runs. that shits an absolute waste of time
Exactly! You gotta play 3 different kinds of logi. Backline, midline and frontline.
Fun fact, tip 7 I think it was, where you delivered a shipping crate to a BB. You can do that now, pull crates from player and using a logi truck then depositing them to a BB. Anddddd you can repackage some materials at a shipping container, like this comment if your mind is blown, I tried it in war 102, and I think it was a QOL thing added in update 52.
Ahhh true forgot about the logi truck. Still probably not very safe or super efficient though ha
4:44 do that. But only when you getting HoI4 or something. Sometimes blockade running ain't gonna cut it so you will have to spend like 10mins to pull shirts from rear BB (auto clicker intensified)
I think there are some rare instances where it’s alright to still do this. Like near bunker has like 600+ shirts and forward one is about to die with a lot of supplies ya know?
you can stock 1500 shirts in a truck, but you will get 0 commends
Lol I would not have the patience for that.
Left and right of cranes you can access Seaport too. 5 Logi trucks can access Seaport at the same time
True! Much more efficient way to do it. Thanks for sharing that!
im really glad i figured out how to switch fuel types early
I wasted so much time when I first started running around trying to find the right fuel for trucks lol!
Lmao I had the opposite problem, wasn’t til 70 hours or so I learnt you coukd fill diesel and petrol manually, I thought you needed liquid containers, but I could switch fuels just fine.
I wanna see some expert logi tips. Show me your spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets are for defense building and facilities in my opinion.
Good logi comes with time and experience.
Being able to look over all backline, midline and front line storage buildings and bunkers and knowing what to craft or what needs to be moved around is what’s important.
1 private crates container, 1 private container bmats, 1 public container with best stuff from seaport, 1 fuel container, 1 dunne crate -> freighter go brrrt
1. No, blood for the blood god.
2. No, the one thing the tutorial taught me
3. No, I just steal
4. No
5. I only do this for stuff like cutlers that really only get used on the frontline
6. Yes
7. No, I found the submit starter equipment button pretty quickly
8. No, I just ferried stuff from seaports
9. Not really, I didn’t but I never got partisaned
10. Idk
Lucky logi Chad ha
As a colies, it feels weird to go down instead of go up when you show the map
lol I always feel this when I switch factions
Its cool to watch the Moidawg videos and see spud clan tags in other videos 😂
Love playing with the SPUD members! Really fun group to do arty with!
all this logistic stuff seems pretty complicated so logistic-wise I might just make lots of tanks in the backline
If you have any questions about logi feel free to DM me on discord! This video is pretty old now and I have gotten even better at it :D
The dumbest thing I did was loading a pallet with shells from some town hall, it took forever and then this pallet was just crushed by a random truck. And I still try not to knock everyone down if I'm in a good mood and I'm not in an active logistics city. Like lol, banal politeness.
Oh no!! lol that sounds horrible.
I’d like to make one correction to your video. It is okay to leave two items in seaport or storage inventory. A wrench or a radio
If I made a new video I would agree with this! I would also accept one stack of bmats for those dang vehicles that need a slight repair every now and then :D Thanks for the correction!
I have 2 modes, deliver crates, hit front hex mines, deposit in refinery, get crates repeat.
Scroop/hit mines, deposit refinery, take materials, cook gear in factory/mpf, deposit in seaport, report.
Oh man I had some good laughs here Rob
Glad to hear that :D
A locked parking lot is a wonderful job for REPOMAN!!!!!! If a vehicle is reservable, it is now my regiment’s property and if it is a public vehicle, it goes into public storage.
True! I am constantly putting them into public storage honestly ha
Let's be honest the petrol diesel thing is weird
I didn't like it at first but now I do. Why do you think it's weird? Would you rather just have one fuel type?
I have been leaving bmats in public at refinerys, I assume someone will take them and use them for crafting.
You are exactly right! I always use bmats that go into public que so thank you! This actually helps a lot!
It's really simple
On frontlines
Logi en route : Has Right of Way
Logi returning : Tanks Has right of Way
On Mid-lines
Logi en route : Has Right of Way, unless it's QRF
Logi returning : Tanks Has right of Way, specially if its QRF
On Rear Lines
Logi en route : Has Right of Way, unless it's QRF
Logi returning : Has Right of Wat, unless it's QRF

i would of still said sorry while driving away
lol! I sometimes do or I type sorry in chat
Need a truck or a flatbed but neither the seaport nor the parking lot has any? No problem. Every front is flooded with them. Just grab a wrench and liberate these rmats from the void.
Lol! Exactly! The amount of times I’ve been on the front and rescued 10+ abandoned flatbeds ha
Oh? I was under the impression that locked trucks were private property
Unfortunately, the fifth mistake is often made by players. People don't even realize how negatively this can affect the war.
Yes! Especially new players. It's a hard thing to learn as a new logi player if no one teaches you.
Can't let roadkill get in the way of the war effort!
True! If you are in the street you are meat!
BRO this is NOT A GOOD VIDEO if you dont explain what you are doing wrong, why it is wrong, and what to do instead. Idk why 6 and 7 were wrong
This is one of my first videos. I will make a better one soon. Thanks for your feedback.
#6 is bad because you are creating clutter and trash in places that don't need those items. It's not a big deal but just more of an annoying thing some players do.
#7 Doing all of the logi steps of gathering, refining, and then crafting items and then delivering them to the front that takes to much time. By the time you do all of those steps the front might be lost or the supplies they need would have been delivered already. Instead choose one thing to do like gathering and refining for night so that way the next time you play you can just focus on crafting and delivering. Does that make sense?
@@RobertLovesGames ok thank you a lot I appreciate the response, I’m just a new player trying to figure my way around the game

6:13 "steal their supplies"
if the supplies are public, ain't their supplies. Yeah, better things to do with your time than moving supplies around, but I find it silly that someone "owns" the supplies if they don't bother to keep it reserved for them. If they let that lapse, it's fair game.
Not really a matter of them being public you just don't also want to make your back bunkers weaker trying to reinforce the front bunker. Then all your defenses fall apart really fast.
That sounds nice, but you know that's not why people are mad
Its hilarious but about 2nd and most importantly 5nd i managed to figure out playing with in-game tutorial. Maybe its not so bad after all...?
Ha that's amazing. Guess the tutorial is helpful for some players.

Someone should show (ACA) the Seaport bit.
Idk I make everything from scrap then go deliver it to the most forward base that needs it been playing for about 15 hours
That's certainly one day to do it and some players prefer to do it that way. I think there is just more efficient ways to use your time as logi that don't involve doing the entire logi loop in one go. It's all personal preference of course. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
@RobertLovesGames yeah I'm starting to see that too lol.
I swear logi is so stingy with there trucks cause say we need to oh shit an artillery piece fast and we go to get a truck they are all bloody locked
Always carry a wrench! This is the only logi way.

Building a new truck everytime you login is good, actually
Depends I would say. Are there already 20+ in storage/seaport near you? Then just grab one of them. If there are none then build one.
I've had nights where there were no logi trucks in a seaport in the backline so I spent the next hour building like 10+ trucks just to put into the seaport for others to grab and use.
you can build 15 at once in the massive produce factory without hammering and with big discount(long waiting time tho), altho its a bit boring to collect the crates of 3 with flatbed so if you feel like making them manually go ahead, they cheap anyways so discount not that important
