resource processing takes ages?

[Oerwout10]

so i was trying to upgrade my base but it was all really expensive so i thought: i shoud probably upgrade the base development unit first. but it took like 4 hours before i even got half the resources. so i looked at my resouces list and saw that i had like 40k raw iron which was not being processed fast enough to keep up with the mining. whats up with that?

definition of "upgrade" BD unit is kind of loose.

on very high levels I get to process about 90k per day if AFK and mine 20k more of fire, common and bio.
Minor and precious are bit lower but still a lot.
I has 4 FOB-s.

Once you get into FOB's you won't really pay any attention to that because you will not be able to spend it all

ok so youre saying i should play the campaign until i unlock FOB's instead of waiting around trying to upgrade my mother base?

if you are waiting you are not triggering materials processing, afk does not work in this game, you need to trigger checkpoints in order to make it do it.

I used the wrong word you cannot do it AFK, I was referring to not even being in the game, my bad

but yeah, FOB's give you tons of rewards, nothing can even come close to that in this game

using simple ahk script (that sends [tab] twice to open/close idroid every 10 min) you can do it afk, offline processing speed will be at maximum (up to 360k/day for fr/br/cm, 180k/day for mm, 36k/day for pm)

yeah, then electricity bill comes along for you being 24/7 in graphic intensive game

that aside, I can't see the fun in that, FOB's are MUCH MUCH more rewarding and fun and it takes less time to earn that much resources.

takes around 5-7 good infiltrations to get as much and you need 5-6 minutes on average per each, good players can do it faster but lets make it somewhat real as OP is not experienced - it takes 40-60 minutes of fun gameplay to get 360k or fr (as he won't probably win each and every FOB at start)

on x2 events you can max out everything in few hours or so
not precious but you can get tons of it

[lazy skunk]

precisely. the fastest way to get any resourses in about no time is fob. but only until you reach online cap. to max out offline resourses you have to farm.

ok but i understand that fob's cost real money. so if i didn't buy any wb coins will i be able to buy an fob?

[No_Quarter]

if you just login on wed, sub and sun you can get coins with time because that's when they give out free coins

FOB's are free, but you have to purchase waters with MB coins before you can build it.

I managed to get a second FOB because of the 50% discount we get periodically.

This microtransactions trend could get out of hand, and make games very unfair.
Players will be better than you in a game, simply because of their thicker wallet.

yeah i just got my first one and it seems that you can actually double everything if you max out the fob too. that means that people with 3 fobs do everything 2 times as fast as someone with only one.
