Thieving makes this game's trains unplayable

[Ardail]

Hopped into the latest war on the Charlie cluster, REALLY worked hard to get a train line up through the center of the map so we could move supplies easier to the front in deadlands since it's landlocked, figured that'd do the most good for the whole team

trying to get our facility up was hard enough, if i logged off for more then a couple of mins we'd have all our vehicles stolen, even hopped on just in time to stop someone from stealing our small mining train on our flatbed

I'm more worried about my own Team mates then partisans doing damage to my facility
Finally got a big train built, kept it safe for a few days by suspending on a squad locked facility crane but found it gone one day really just made me so burnt out and I don't want to be a helpful team mate anymore.

every reg I've tried to join are more concerned with building awful lines that don't help anyone but makes a few tasks they do slightly more convenient

I really liked having a major impact on our push of the center of the map on Charlie by building this line, but I can't for my own health do this ever again. I've got a life and bills to pay IRL and as the game is currently made there's no way I can have this kind of positive impact again without devoting a week of 12hrs a day game sessions due to needing to rush to get the rail line online before it starts to decay
it's just not healthy

So to whoever stole our tiny squad's train after all our hard work to help this team win the war shipping goods for others to reach the deadlands front, sincerely get bent
you single handily burnt us all out from wanting to play this game for awhile

Truly a severe lack of fore-sight with the devs.

No, this was entirely intentional because of the ever beloved 'Vision'.

*sigh* Yea you're right there.

Makes the overall community hard to defend when people put massive amounts of resources into personal storages and just sit on them for weeks. Or squad lock artillary/shell stoarge so no one can use them.

Squad locking a stockpile doesn't work if the refresh button is somehow missed. It's simply a matter of time before you are distracted with some other game mechanic, forget about a particular facility, and viola! That facility you built is permanently public. Stupid.

Why would I build and store arty rounds for my own use, only to open them up for someone else? Some reason that you would be incapable of making your own? There seems to be a disconnect in reality here. Getting arty rounds or anything else requires an investment of RL time. It's not even that hard to do. Yet you can't spend 30 mins building a storage facility for the rounds? You want someone else to do it for you, so you can get more enjoyment while they do the work making it and putting it on pallets? Yeah, I don't think so.

Happened to the multiple squads and groups around us too during the last decent war on charlie, a russian group thought i stole it for a start. Ended up everyone working together to get each others back, roughly 30-40 people from about 4 different groups. No one understands how they got them though as 2 of the 4 trains were on cranes squad reserved.
