Motherbase/ what to build first

[Archangel]

Hi

Title says it all and I can't find that much online as to what to prioritise building

I have the first R&D platform and also the support platform

Should I just concentrate on R&D or build other

Thanks in advance

just build whatever is available first. If all are green i say for for BASE for resources & R&D for more weapons/items. R&D more importantly lets you develop weapons that your security team can equip to better defend FOB

dont save up for one department. if one is green and rest is red, just upgrade the one available. by the time you finish some missions, the green one will be completed and the other reds will become green

I focus on r&d and base development platform then command as I start getting full in departments. Base development is going to make upgrading the other stuff go faster because it boosts resources income.

yes start with one of these 3 : command, r&d or base development...command is useful if you extract many good soldiers with fulton because more guys can work on every plattform...r&d like the name said and base for ressources....and get every heavy weapon you can and sell them.....if you got a high lvl r&d team and upgraded your base a lot you´ll need the money you get when you sell them.... haven´t reached main mission 20 but i´m constantly broke because i can research so much....
...if i look back i most liely won´t focus so many ressources on r&d at first because command is more useful and helps with research a lot because you can send more guys into the r&d branch...

so command or base dev would be best to start....

BASE & R&D imo. I dont give commad much priority. normally every other are built first. once i see every department could use a little boost, i will give command an upgrade

^^ This. Command is only important when you start seeeing x/x number of staff is getting full. If your base isn't full focus on the other stuff first, onbce you nbeed more room go command.

....always fultoned every a+ guy i saw and my platforms where always full......so it needed upgrades all the time.....command was the first on lvl 4... only times my stations weren´t full was in the first few missions and when i just got an entire new platform... like i said i´m always broke because i have lvl35/50(i think 50 is max) or more on every platform and that before reaching main mission 20....other ressources aren´t my problem but i still got around 100 research projects and am constantly broke.... getting 500k and 750k for quiets tranq sniper and its silenced upgrade was a real pain in my a***

he just started. he will be fulton Es and Ds. the wont be seeing A+ until 30hrs later. making space for more Es and Ds early game imo is a waste when he could upgrade other departments

really?? i don´t think it was that bad for so long......at least not as bad as in pw where even in some of the last missions guys with e rank where running around.....my first staff was only b-rank or above...was it a pain in my a*** to replace these guys with a+ rankers??? yes yes but they still did a good job..... so if you want to develop new weapons fast it is usefull especially if you unlock other platforms later on because they can have more staff too..... and many things need high level on other plattforms as well...

[Matze3]

a one sided high r&d team isn´t as useful as it sounds especially because of the different abilities you need for all the different weapons and high lvl in other categories....
