No big changes, but SC ammo will be moving to a late position in the tech tree so it can't be used too early in a war.

Crate of uniform are faction locked ? For exemple what happen if warden have a crate of heavy topcoat uniform from colonials ?

You can't equip uniforms from the opposite faction.

Questions:

  1. Are uniforms also respawns (e.g do we need to spawn in a soldier uniform then change taking 2 shirts or can we spawn in directly as the uniform we want?
  2. Can pallets be repackaged while while half full of building materials or is it an all or nothing deal? Can materials be mixed (e.g so 50% sandbags/50% metal bars)
  3. Can foxholes be connected to trench systems or are they still completely stand alone.
  4. With foxholes now being a shovel item, are shovels included in the spawn kit?
  5. Are the new pill boxes built via hammer or by adding sandbags/metal like with tank traps/sandbag walls etc?
  6. What happens to crates of uniforms that get stolen by the enemy? Are they turned into the basic shirts? or just not submit able?
  1. No. You spawn and then pull the uniforms out like any other item.
  2. Yes Pallets can be repackaged at anytime. Materials right now can't be mixed unfortunately.
  3. Foxholes and Pillboxes are separate from Trenches
  4. No
  5. Pillboxes are built with the Hammer
  6. They can be submitted but not equpped

The price will most likely be going up this fall. We announced this earlier in the year: https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/0/3115906960355833166/

With the addition of what essentially is two playable floors on bunkers, can you see yourself revising the decision to only make the bottom floor of structures like ghouses accessible? I have been craving actual two-story structures for a while now

With the CTRL to view top floors in place, that is a possibility. However, the issue is more the amount of rework it would take to redo the garrisoned houses, which I'm not going to lie is probably too much to do anything soon. However, it's possible for us to start experimenting with this for new structures. It's not in the plan but it is technically more feasible now than before.

With late game niches being filled on both sides, when can we expect to see the same being done for the Early War?

IE when can we see a bunker buster for the Colonials or a cheap anti-structure tool for the Wardens? In this update? In the next 3 months? Are such necessary and needed tools even being worked on?

Not for this update, but there's still quite a few things in the early tech tree that we haven't got to yet. The options you mentioned are a possibility.

Very cool! Thanks for expanding the water lanes even more! I mean that seriously.

1) What are the team's thoughts regarding the long-term plan for the logistics hubs that are landlocked? Places like Heartlands, Great March, Reaching Trail. Are we basically going to need to hold out 'til Trains for those places to become fully viable?

2) Will the more-subtle water locations, such as Umbral Wildwood / Callahan's Passage see anything change with their water bodies, or logistics facilities? Thunderfoot/Lochan feel somewhat underwhelming.

Very good questions.1

  1. We are working on some stretch goals to improve logistics between land depots. Stay tuned to the dev branch next week for possibly more news on this. Our goal is to make "foward ports" more viable.
  2. Not planned. As much as I love the use of water logi, we also want to keep some regions as predominantly land.

Will there be any changes to trench-bunker connections to help cut down on bunkers being made that have no entrance? Whilst bunkers having more internals and room for internals is great, being able to fight inside them is pointless if the "meta" is to make sure no-one can enter them at all.

You can no longer enter Bunker Garrisons from the outside so there will be a trade off to leaving such structures sealed off.

We also considered adding doors to Bunkers to encourage more interior building but it was cut due to us running out of time. We might revisit it in the future.

Will there be huge optimization in term of fps when in huge battle and server issue? I feel like in current state joining big battle can be draining with fps drop in major frontline. This heavily translate when no mans land are has the shittiest fps drops. It hard for me to enjoy huge battle honestly. Hope dev can see this

There is a rendering performance issue that we are aware of and are working on. We're hoping we can address it on time for the Entrenched release but it depends on how many other bugs we have to deal with over the next week.

Can vehicles other than tanks still destroy trenches by running over them?

No. Trenches can no longer be destroyed by vehicles driving over them.

On behalf of the [27th], we're all really looking forward for this update, and you'll be sure to find us digging deep into the dev branch! but until then these are a few questions we have about the new mechanics / changes.

  1. Looking at the new Map, there are a few areas of concern near region borders (looking at kalokai + acrithia, Nevish Lane + Callum's cape, Godscroft + Morgen's crossing) Where the no-build zone / rapid decay looks to be overlapping some major chokepoints. Are there any plans for changing how these mechanics work to make these areas 'less of a pain' for lack of a way to describe it?
  2. With the changes to building and what looked like better AI on the RG, are there any (Buffs?) for our discarded MG Garrisons? (and do these extend to the MG pillboxes?).
  3. With sandbags / tank traps / barbed wire dropping a percentage of the matts on destruction, does the same occur once decayed? and are there any changes to how decay works.
  4. By t...

  1. If there are any map issues like this found in the dev branch, please report them as we'd like to review them.
  2. MG Garrisons are receiving a big range buff in this update. Game balance will make it to the dev branch release notes on Tuesday.
  3. Right now it works that way but it could be received. Decay exists to prevent the server from being overburdened by too much structure spam.
  4. Intel Center shares a new Bunker Upgrade with Storm Cannons called "Advanced Bunkers". It requires a 3x3 platform and can "fire" cross region like Storm Cannon. I don't have the most recent spec balance handy, but you'll be able to test it out in the dev branch.
  5. A fully fueled Engine Room lasts for a bit over 24h. However this could change during dev branch. A powered Bunker Garrison can fire further at night (during the day it's behaviour stays the same). It affects all Bunker Garrisons except Howitzers.
  6. Observation Bunkers requires a new Base Upgrade that...

What was shown in devstream:

Moving around inside bunkers, trenches connecting several blocks of garrisons across the frontline

What will most likely happen:

Enclosed bunkers because why would you build doors?

You can no longer enter Bunker Garrisons from the outside (which has already felt unrealistic to us). So there is a trade off to keeping them enclosed, which is that you can't get into them for cover.

How long can we expect Engine Rooms to last on a full can of fuel? Also is the Intelligence Center a separate bunker upgrade from the SC, or are they combined.

The balance may be tweaked during dev branch but currently a fully fueled up engine room will be online for a bit over a day.

The Storm Cannon and Intelligence Center are both locked behind a shared upgrade now called Advanced Bunkers.

1.0 isn't really a concept for foxhole. The game will just continue receiving updates and you will never fundamentally notice a shift from beta to "release"

Yes, eventually.

my fears came true and uniforms are logi items, so my question is:

will we, at some point, get some kind of loadout system to ease the tedious gear pulling after every spawn. It gets really tiresome especially as medic and/or under arty fire.

It's something that seems really cool, but we have no plans at the moment.

Are there still female player models with the new uniforms?

Yep. I just didn't have time to showcase the different sexes and races.

Will we, could we see a Logistics focused uniform? If not for any benefit, other than to assume the role, and get immersed?

What aspect of logistics are you imagining requires a specific uniform?

Will there be any consideration for a concrete mixer vehicle or way in general to carry concrete more efficiently? Additionally, an excavator vehicle late game to help build and dig?

We would consider a Concrete transport vehicle in the future, but it would have to come at a high cost or have some other constraint. Concrete is designed to be immobile to prevent it from being used offensively (e.g. creeping up with a concrete Trench/Bunker).
