Stockpiles within countries that you occupy.

I was looking through the fourth WWW once again and I was thinking about Luxemburg who was swiftly taken over by the Germans. So I asked myself:
"I wonder if the Germans then get all of their equipment and resources that they have stockpiled up?"

I was hoping to ask if anyone actually have read anything about that here on the forums somewhere or from any video that Paradox has released?

It was after all a war about resources just as much as ideas, and it would only make sense if you get some of the resources at least from the said country you have occupied. However, I would also understand why you would not get it due to balancing.

You dont capture equipment. The devs couldnt make a feasible solution at the present for it.
There is no stockpiling of resources.

There are no stockpiles in HOI4.

Well, don't you need oil and so on for the tanks? I meant resources and stockpiles in that way. I am deeply sorry for saying it wrong in this regard but your tanks needs oil and if lets say you do not trade oil, how do you still make them run?

How do I stop units that get trough line and head up to capital alone?
In Hoi 3 cut off units could not go far without supply/fuel.

Feeling that this game gets even more delays.

This well discussed Dev Diary does speak of stockpiling 'equipment', that includes oil in it.
However it doesn't mention anything about captured equipment. The Devs put somewhere that this hasn't been implemented yet, and probably wont be before release.

On the other hand Johan does post in the Dev multiplayer thread about getting 10% manpower from non-core provinces. So maybeeeee you will also get some equipment back right after conquering, (in Luxembourgs case 2 rifles and a bottle of white wine).

I know it's very confusing, and even I don't fully understand it.

This is part of the reason why the new supply system is so controversial... The game operates as if 100% of your materials produced every day are consumed. There are no material stockpiles.

your units still need supplies, but those arent stockpiled but rather "flow" from the next best supply zone. Supply zones, depending on their type can support an set maximum of units. Cities add up to that limit and supply cap is also importet from the neighboring supply zones.


Anyway, equipment cant be captured for now, no. The devs wanted to do that, but this far didnt found an good way to implement it and it wont be in for the release version according to the last info we got about it in that regard.
