How do stockpiled trucks work?

[Iskaka]

What makes the game put a truck in supply srockpile? I in my recent vanilla game got tens of thousands of trucks alvailable in storage but bharely a few hundred if any are in stockpile?

I think you don't understand what stockpile means. Stockpile is your available trucks. You can't have 10s of thousands of trucks available if they are not in your stockpile. Equipment goes into stockpile if there isn't a division that has an equipment shortage.

If all your divisions have 100% equipment (the yellow bar), then future equipment will go into the stockpile.

Here is a common mistake people make: add 6 trucks to tank division when there are 0 trucks in the stockpile.

This makes your tank division receive a big combat debuff because it is now missing a ton of trucks it is designed to have.

That'll be because you're using the difference to supply your troops...

The intel screen says stockpiled trucks but actually reports trucks used for supply purposes. The intel screen has a bug.

So if the Logistics tab states that 'We currently have a surplus of 1.89k units of truck equipment in storage', Why does the Logistics Fulfillment dropdown box show:
Trucks
Needed: 800
In Stockpiles: 0% (0%)
All my motorised/mechanised units are at 100% strength. I also added 50k trucks using the cheat menu to test the statement in the above post. But still 52k trucks are not enough to fullfill the 800 needed??? The supply status at the top of the screen shows 0%

In another thread someone suggested that the trucks were not set to Motorised - YES. But gave no indication where you change this.

Beerwulf - I assume no mods as you would have mentioned them if you were using mods?

Have you looked at the detailed logistics tab to check the trucks you added were of the correct type?

Only ask because there was a previous report of this sort of issue where it turned out there were different types of trucks and they had managed to make some added by a mod that were not usable for logistics.
