Hello supply :<

[Payspro]

Hi Guys,

i have a question about the supply sytem. I recently started to play HoI 3 again and read a lot about supply.

I'm playing with the USA and have one province that just don't get enough supply, but their is no single province in the supplychain that is at its capacity. So why isn't the game sendig enough supply to fill the stocks.

I encounterd the same problem with CAGs and Fleets in Germany ( They were just sitting in their ports and getting no supply, with 10/10 infrastructure everywhere).

Thanks for any help!

I'm by no means an expert on this, but a screenshot would be nice so we can try and find out why together F11 + http://imgur.com/

I've seen this happen regularly, where the supply lines essentially bypass one province. Unfortunately, that often happens to be the province where my garrison unit is parked on a semi-permanent basis. There is usually some "flutter" in the routing paths, because those units can go in and out of supply at seemingly random intervals, despite being only a half-dozen provinces or so from my capital and not having moved for over a year. I assume that movement much further down the line is causing the supply lines to redraw, and "rounding errors" or some other nonsense of that sort occasionally leave a province out of supply until something else changes, and the lines redraw again.

Thanks for your answers, i already watched the video, but it did not help with my problem. (as far as i can say)

here the screen:

I know that the supply comes from Washington and it is a long way to the westcoast ( i checked by forwarding some monts with speed 5 without any change at all) , but i have the supply, i have the infrastructure to send a looooooooooooooooooot more, but the game just does not.

Los Angeles has just 1 Division of Infatry and the Ships + Cags. I'm just building up the Fleet.


Edit: I rebased the Fleet to Seattle for testing and guess what... now the Problem is Seattle; they get Fuel but no supply.

Edit2: Made an supply-convoi from Washington D.C to Seattle, at least that worked.

Great that you showed the tooltip!
How much is going through "Oceanside" and "Riverside"? Is it hitting a bottleneck there?

 

[Payspro]

Oceanside 7,45 Supply
Riverside 0,64 Supply

Both can support ~500

Edit: Los Angeles never gets a single Supply, only whats produced by the IC there i guess

 

[TheDecider]

Btw, I think (not sure) that the cap of 500 is supply+fuel, not 500 supply + 500 fuel (1000).

 

[Payspro]

Yeah it is, but there is no fuel going through

 

[TheDecider]

Yeah it is, but there is no fuel going through

Yeah not in those two provinces, but I'm curious if perhaps a bottleneck had occured over land?

Anyways, very strange indeed.

 

[Payspro]

Well the most movement i can see is ~90 supply and their is no province under 300 logistic capacity;
fuel is nowhere. ( no unit seems to use it - they are just sittin around = peace time)

I've played the U.S. only once and don't remember anything more than the usual supply "hiccups." Anyway, how about creating a supply convoy from DC to LA? Even in war you should be able to protect it and others that go from main-land U.S. ports to other main-land U.S. ports. I've been doing that a bit "a little" with other countries and it does seem to help at times.

Yes that is a good workaround, but i'm still not sure if the original problem is intended or a bug.
