The player factory system is dreadful. A catastrophe.

[WTGs]

I come back from few years not playing the game, I discover now that a lot of vehicle are locked behind "player factory system'. As a solo player, occasional playing with two other friends, well that's a bummer.

On another discussion people told me that there is public factories and "ask people they will help."
What a load of crap.
I wanted to upgrade a basic truck to a leather back 2a, it's like a very basic improvement costing almost nothing.
Prepared some diesel and scrap to not use base player ressources.
Looked at the map, there is zero factory labeled as public.
Well, I ask in the chat. No answer.

Well I will visit different factory. If people are inside, I will ask them help, I brought the material, so they have no reason to really be mean...and if there is nobody well, If I use my own resources...it's not like it's going to bother anybody.

I spent two hours driving like a madman to face, either people being extremely aggressive and telling me to f off, having me at gunpoint. or base where, even if it is not squad reserved anymore they use pole, and different defense and structure to block the access of it.

What a load of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, what a terrible and idiot system the dev implemented.
I get it that supertank for example being available to clan only, it needs a crew of five so for small group it is useless.

But for basic vehicles and tanks???? Making it so horrible?
So either I build a factory set up myself just to upgrade one basic truck or I can just sit on a cactus. Or maybe the dev expect we start grieving and stealing vehicles from each other?

AND OF COURSE, the most basic field gun is too heavy for the basic truck to tow it, you NEED an upgraded one.

Dev have seriously messed up on this one.

lol, bro wants to be able to operate a SHT solo...

[VoRtEx_NOR]

Agreed, it is a litle bit to much for the solo...some people just want to be solo or duo/trio

why are you trying to upgrade a basic truck at a large assembly station? also there are tones of public small assembly stations. zero problems upgrading they even have public mats they let me use. have you tried leaving your hex all the back line hexes have public stations. wardens i don't know about colonials.

[HKO2006 (no mic)]

How to find upgrade pad for trucks
1. Press M open map
2. On your left hand side, shift click the Small Assembly Station icon twice to show Small Assembly Station only
3. Drive to one near you and upgrade

[Zervot]

Colonials always have pub facility markers, no one ever complains about being shot even at private facilitys usually no one cares especially if your using basic mats. Wardens facility larpers though... not like us.

Of course I am looking at small assembly station and of course I left my hex.

Could not find any structure to craft the 10 c mat needed.

If you read carefully my message, You wil find out that yuour comment is completely missing the point.

I don't want to operate solo a full factory to make super tank.

I am talking about the most basic ♥♥♥♥ tier upgrade.

Try to get an oil field as solo to build a public fuel network, that's gonna be a lot of fighting...

[Horny Rooster]

There are public facilities to do upgrades, you just gotta look around. It takes experience and know how to locate and use public facility and even if you wonder into a private facility, and manage to get some very easy to make materials and say upgrade a low-tier vehicle, most private people won't freak out because it takes almost no time to make those materials, its only when you start using expensive stuff like Assembly Materials 4 or Steel that they might get a bit angry.

[Jäger]

sorry you had to come back to this man i remember when the game was good too , the devs have almost completely removed/butchered the solo/duo/trio experience for the game in favor of simping over "clans" ,new updates have offered absolutely nothing for solos to contribute to their team with or use or with updates like the "inferno" update actively made it even worse by taking things away from solos , like being able to build more things with bmats like it used to do be able to or making certain things unobtainable for solos, try using so called "public pads" when you cant find where it is, likely not gonna get ahold of the materials easily unless its probably in the pad and have to deal with general logistics bloat already which makes everything take literal HOURS to do , like you cant even get a flag sandbag barbed wire tripod or tank trap without some god forsaken facility process to make a specific resource for EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE INDIVIDUALLY this isnt immersive or realistic or "cool" or something its unnecessarily tedious , time consuming and aggravating like i get it that tanks or ships or medics are teamwork or clan oriented and what not but , why in gods name are solo players LITERALLY UN-IRONICALLY NON-HYPERBOLICY ABLE TO DO ALMOST NEXT. TO. NOTHING. NOW?

tldr. facilitys ruined the game for everyone except large clans and regiments

[Oobie]

The new Infantry Kit Factory upgrade can make tank ammo...for 24 (!) power. Holy schnikies! So I need 5 diesel plants or two petrol plants to run one (1) factory building. That is insane. I know, pipe it in, but some clans or their leaders (cough) may not want to share with you. 24 power for one process is ridiculous.

[Technoci]

I love this Cope. when this person does not explain which faction and who. lolololol

It's meant to be expensive so people don't spamm them as it shortens part of the logi chain.

[RANNY ME BOB BOY]

i managed to build a facility within 24 hours solo that produced basically everything i wanted , yet then i ran into the one big problem this game has imo. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Clans.

They claim resource nodes and don't let anyone in, then they wonder why the front is struggling to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ supplies.

There are lots of nice people out there genuinely trying to make foxhole a better place via public facilities and factories but even they are struggling. I literally had to help a group maintaining a public coal mine get Msupps and fuel because clans would show up and take ♥♥♥♥ out of the miner instead of mining manually (and refusing to refuel it when doing so).

You can tell its always clans too since you can see the interaction history of a stockpile. Genuinely clans can burn in hell, they ruin experiences in most games and thats even more the case in foxhole.
