Which platforms to develop first for FOB?
Hi,

I was finally able to unlock FOBs. So I'm curious for opinions on is there a particular order in which things should be developed? I read from some IGN guide or something that you should develop at least 2 decks for each platform before starting a new one because attackers always start from the platform that's the furthest from the main one?

Also, Is it true that the Base Development platform is also one of the lower priority ones because it has usually plenty of containers which people rush to steal so you should build something else first?

Command(this one should be top on your priority - also the only platform that increases security team capacity) R&D, BD, Medical are all quite important. Like you said, 1-2 decks are an easy target so try to build at least 3 decks for each platform.

Intel is probably the hardest to infiltrate so you can leave that to one of your last platforms to build. Support is one of the easiest to infiltrate and with the added fuel reward, its gonna get targeted. I usually max out Combat after Command and Med since higher combat level --> more reinforcements and less deployment time.

Fyi, higher security team level --> base blockade timer reduced to a minimum of 10 minutes

they are all very important get development to max cz later items cost a lot.. materials..

The higher your base development level, the faster you refine raw resources. Since you need so many resources to build your FOB, I would prioritize building up base development. If you've saved up some resources, you can build it out to 3 struts very quickly and set up security as soon as they're completed.

I see. Thank you so much. I came up with two more questions:

1. Are there any guidelines on how to configure your platform defences or is it just something that you'll eventually learn by defending and infiltrating and practicing on your own platforms?

2. What do those key defence points (from A to H?) affect on which you can select for each deck?

Support platforms get targeted a lot, because people need fuel.

raise them equally since anything less than 2 platforms is trivial to reach the core.

I wish I never maxed out my platforms (should had left that last deck), because it removed the waiting-room - which I used as a "reinforcement"-room, in case my FOB got raided for staff (when not playing for a while).
