I'm not sure if there's already a thread like this, but figured it might help someone out.

See map here:

Map is based on North being to the top.

1. West of Ditadi Abandoned Village / Southeast of Outpost 10
2. Almost straight south of Outpost 18, North and just east a little of Outpost 23
3. At Outpost 23
4. Southeast of Outpost 13 and NE of Outpost 16
5. Little bit east of outpost 16
6. West and bit south of Outpost 20 off the road to Nioka Station
7. Encampment Northwest of Ngumba Industrial Zone
8 Luftwa Valley South just a bit from the Mansion.

If you have found any others that are not on my list, let me know and I'll add them.

You don't get rewards for "infiltrating" your own platforms...
You can visit your FOBs or train there but you don't really get anything.

Combat platform gives a bit of haoma as well as one other that escapes me now.
Medical gives a fair bit of haoma and lutea plus all other plants.
R&D gives a tonne of wormwood and black carrot.
Intel gives golden crescent and something else as well.
Support and base dev only give mineral resources, fuel and minor metal respectively.
Command platform gives a balanced selection of all materials and plants, but focuses on biological resource.

You should be able to see where they're at though. There's 4 platforms for each unit, which platform specifically and where on the platform is what I'm going for.

You don't gather the herbs during fobs. They're just part of the reward based on the platform you run through.

This should serve as an example, albeit an incomplete one:

For an actual list of obtainable resources, it's best for you to find out personally.

FOB stuff, not likely to find out personally. 1. I hate the timer. Gimmer 4 hours and explore that thing every nook and cranny. Give me 17-20 min and I'm dead every time. I'm done trying FOBs.

How to win at FOB:
-Roll, roll and oh did i mention roll? Crouch walk when you absolutely don't see anyone in sight
-Square camo/Battle dress
-Abuse noctocyanin *5
-Throw mags, you'll be amazed how even S++ sniper guards can be fooled
-*7 S1000 Air S for anything within 40m, Lethal Sniper for sniping drones/NL Sniper for guards, Lethal pistol for shooting cameras and sensors
-Dive up stairs
-Your goal is the core. Material containers/extracting security guards should be 2nd in your priority

None of that addressed giving me 4 hours to do it. :) That's the average time I spent on most of the main mission ops my first play through. I hate having time limits and skipped those missions the 2nd time through.

Admittedly, FOB is much harder than Singleplayer since there's much more you need to deal with. Each strut is like dealing with an outpost. Some of the lower security bases with 1 deck have a timer of 30min and that should be enough time to clear out 8-12 guards.

You'll only get better via practise.

Play FOB Events e.g. "Mosquito's Legacy" - start on Medical Platform. Succeed and get among all the other medicinal plants also 140 Digitalis Lutea and 210 Haoma rewarded (You get all medicinal plants at once that way!) Play as often as you wish.

Edit:

You don't have to complete all objectives, you just gotta make it to the core. Only two decks, starting deck and the core deck. It's security Lvl 9(!). If you can't manage to tranqualise 3 guards with a handgun, another one with a sniper rifle with a headshot at at least 60 m (2 objectives at once) and to take out 8 guards of silly lvl 9 in total... then I fear this game isn't for you anyway. Wonder how you'd play SP then.

You don't have to make it to the core within 5 minutes... you don't even have to take out 8, let alone all those guards... most points are rewarded for "infiltration successful, no kills, no alerts" = 2,000 in addition to 1,300 for "infiltration successful" followed by 1,010 points for "neutralized 8 security guards" but again: the latter are not needed, just nice to have.

Successful infiltration is all that matters, even when you kill and raise alarms! You have 30(!) minutes to somehow make it to the core without getting killed...!

C'mon, if you can't succeed there, then you simply can't succeed anywhere in this game. Give it a try and keep in mind: you do need to know the layout, hence the best route directly to the core.

Watch it on YT (e.g. 'The Gaminator' has a really nice playlist covering all routes to the cores of all 7 platforms - you just have to learn Medical Platform! + edepot gaming, who covers how to successfully play "Mosquito's Legacy" on several platforms), memorise the Medical Platforms route to the core, practise it and you'll soon learn how much more fun and exciting FOB infiltrations are than any other missions where you can hardly lose anything and therefor don't get other rewards than this boring GMP crap.

But then you have to do approx. 5-7 missions to make the plants reappear, while empty FOB raids can be done indefinitely with no cooldowns.

wrong, 5 missions are for containers/placed weapons. plants do respawn on each 3rd free-roam deployment..

Thank you. I'm missing a Digitalis at the stealth Footprints of Phantoms and couldn't get how to make it spawn again.
