Partisans and or alts.
I play as a solo login player as that is my preferred style. I come back from front and all my vehicles I built are destroyed. While I enjoy the game, every. Single. Time. I'm not near my base ♥♥♥♥ goes missing or gets destroyed. Why is this allowed? I didn't spend my time just to have to babysit my facility all day. I have a life and cannot commit to watching against grieving idiots. What are you going to do for this segment of the population developers? I would love to keep playing my way but not if this behavior goes unchecked. I know I'm not alone in this. Fix your game as you are breeding toxicity and encouraging grieving which in the long term means your game dies out sooner. Thanks for reading and if you feel inclined to leave a useless remark il just ignore it.

Partisans is an actual, integral part of the game. Enemies infiltrate our (your) lines and intentionally give you a hard time. You either need to accept that or work to prevent it.

Most partisans won't even bring explosives with them, hoping to simply steal stuff or cause mischief. Simply building a wall around your facility or adding a correct amount of automated defence will deter any partisans from doing anything to your base.

As for alts... Please at least try to make sure your base is secure before even bringing that up. At least 90% of the time people talk about alts they are simply shouting that around as a valve to vent, not because it make any sense.

If your stuff is close to the front, then it’s not far fetched to assume it was blown up by partisans, which isn’t something that needs to be fixed.

Also if you’re soloing, maybe don’t build stuff if it’s just going to sit around for long periods of time, vehicles decay over time as well to keep server clutter down.

Another possibility is that your base was discovered by scouts and was targeted by enemy artillery.

Ultimately you probably should assume you could lose your stuff at anytime for any given reason, it’s a persistent online war, stuff being destroyed is apart of it.

Okay so some vehicles can and can not be stored right. Combat stuff can not. However they can be locked, and those locks picked. So not just enemy but friendlies alike can steal. Try creating a private squad and squad lock your vehicles. It may increase the timer ever so slightly on your stuff.

Bunker bases, er bases in general, are not storage either. Only secure storage is the storage itself. Remember stuff can never be public then put into private storage. Sorry these fellas filled your head with nonsense like it's ur fault etc.

It's how Foxhole is played, nobody respects others stuff. Feel free to get a wrench and go take other peoples stuff. It's how it's done I heard. In future try and use the storage my dude. Not the public one either, create your own. Good Luck OP

I think there should be proper storage and private bunker bases for the back line hexes. It's bad enough the enemy with partisan activity, then alts, and friendlies to boot. It's just a little over bearing to work 10-12 hour shifts for a three to four day work week to come back to nothing. Or everyone resort to stealing arguments.

It's just bad/poor game design IMO. It can be done better. It's the developers private game they can do with it as they please. Just don't expect normal people not in this little niche to be cool with it. Most gamers won't. I can't sit here in good faith and tell the developers how to make their game but I can say I dislike it.

Thanks for the replies all. My base was far from front and is secured with a trench, barbedwire, sandbags, bunker all the way around with gates covering the bridges. I agree that devs can do what they want and all that, but if they expect solo players to stick around maybe provide them some tools is all I'm suggesting. If after X time, then the base becomes vulnerable to attack or something. In real life dueing ww2, bases had security to defend against this problem. This is a video game. Make it fun for solo players if that's their thing too. Private storage would be great, like make that invinsible with a small amount of storage for vehicles or materials.

Trains are a great asset to the game as well but I think they should have hangars. Partisans go straight for them in our hex and I personally go right after them when I see them on the map, even if I'm outnumbered. I can't stay online 24/7 and most of the players in back hexes will ignore the partisans (where im at anyways). There are like really only 3 of us that actively qrf them.

I see the argument for partisans but think there is some room for improvement. Not asking to be invinsible, just need to have protection that would otherwise exist in the real world.

To be fair, partisan is a bit too op at the moment. Devs added a lot of stuffs for logis in latest patch, but all that means we will also need to build larger defense around them to actually secure all those investment. Since building and maintaining bunker bases and defenses being such a chore at the moment, especially with so many buildings and areas to secure, far too often backline defense are almost non-existence, or insufficient most of the time. At a result, partisan activities is becoming low risk high reward and bound to chase away dedicated logi players from the game.

Back in world war 2, partisan was a job meant only for very professional and well-trained soldiers with considerably high risk and resource requirement. In foxhole any solo dude with a pistol can catch a boat, sail to the backline of the other team, and guarantee to ruin somebody's days worth of labor in a matter of hours. I think we gotten enough weapons from last several updates that devs can start easing their restriction on AI defense spamming and make backline partisan a bit more costlier.

I don't see how partisaning has changed since the last time I played a year and a half ago. That's completely a non issue for me. It can be (and is) done both ways. What players actually need to do is make sure that their stuff is secure. A simple wall around a facility is usually enough to guarantee peace and quiet unless they somehow partisan with five tanks (yes, we've seen that recently).

Enough said, I support this guy 100%
Video games are meant to be fun entertainment right?
Why does it seem video games only frustrate and anger in this era?

At some point did developers turn into little purple minions, I mean C'mon Man (too much biden ok my bad)

Partisan was not for well trained profession soldiers in WW2 because you are wrong. Must partisans are just civilians taken up weapons against he enemy by destroying the supply lines, communication, warehouses, killing enemy soldiers were possible. You describe professional and wel trained soldiers are commando's operate from behind enemy lines and they aren't partisans.

Either build parking lot out of pipes, lock them all along with crane. Or pack them all at sea port when your done. That way no one can steal your sht

People on your own team steal your vehicles 24/7 when you are logged out. This is why I stopped playing.
You can't stop explorers and their wrenches.
Dev will say "it's one part of the game, if you don't like it, you can play other game"
They have been stubborn for years. lol

Empty vehicles are public vehicles. If your team isn't using them, then they belong to partisans by default. Seasoned players dislike when greenhorns abandon their battle tanks in the woods for the enemy to find.

Park your precious personal vehicles in a storage depot/seaport when done. Some vehicles are not meant to be parked, and should be given away to eager players before you log off.

Not everyone have 2 hours per day to drive trucks back and forth from facility to a storage depot just so that teammates wont steal all their vehicles.

I actually want to play the game too, not just drive back and forth to avoid thieves.

Foxhole is more fun when you don't call teammates thieves. Canvas and open top vehicles belong to anyone willing to do logi. No one worth any dignity will harass you for having or using them, and it is poor sportsmanship to cry over losing them.

If the team supply of vehicles seems low, go out and make more. MPF vehicle lines are rarely capped out and can always use more love.
