maintaining the original pobs was why i first quit discovery for over a year
changes are meh.
remove the flood of pob materials, make FOW a single commodity "Supplies", make the repair materials just "Repair Materials" or "Maintenance Materials" or whatever, reduce the amount of crap you need to stockpile.
im glad i dont maintain pobs anymore

Can I get clarity?
Does that mean a lot more base supplies will be consumed faster with the POB at total health and the whole crew?

POBs at full health will be consuming 2 units of repair material every 20 seconds, as opposed to once every 120 seconds due to wear and tear frequency change, which as first post stated, will consume 8,640 units per day, as opposed to 1,440 it is currently.

All active developers agree on a fact that the PoB gameplay should be more balanced than it is now and gameplay options expanded. However, these changes are not being implemented by Zentor, but by other staff members and contributors.
Ores were to be reduced initially, but in the middle of development process, it was decided to keep them around anyway. That is a prime example of why leaks by former staff members and other sources are counter-productive and even at odds with what is happening if the patch is still WIP. And should we be fully transparent as some players want, the community could be easily confused and even discouraged by our constantly changing plans and other adjustments. The development is an organic process thanks to the discussions we have and not everything is set in stone.
We thank you for your patience.
Well, in the case of the ores, i am glad they did. Agreed, the development is an organic process, but in any democratic process, the players should be heard also. And following decisions should be based upon the general wishes...

This is an interesting idea, especially for FWO. But, again, I think most of the devs are more interested in where good ideas come from instead of just ideas.

Yeah- can we not make this change?
Totally agree with the unmaintained ones dying very quickly, perhaps even increase this so with one week of no supplied it will pop?
But to keep them maintained doesn’t need to be increased at all.
I like that bases will now only eat one type of commodity for Wear & Tear, meaning we can feed them Reinforced Alloy and the other two repair commodities will only be eaten to repair damage from a siege.
I also like the fact they repair faster.

my take, is , they dropped off RH for everyday repairs, if you base is seiged and you keep it fully stocked , then it heals faster , RA is the main concerned but very do able.

Yes, but don't forget, if you go on a vacation as a POB owner for 2 weeks, the base will put you down 140k...
RE: Changes to POBs - Fab - 03-30-2023
wouldn't increasing the frequency of damage ticks increase the strain on the server? It would be better to simply multiply how many materials a base consumes per tick by 6.
