Supply 3 tiles away from hub calculation

[sekelsenmat]

Hi, does anyone know the actual new supply calculation? Because as PRC I built a hub, but troops 3 tiles away only get supplies if I use double trucks, while the area seemed to indicate they should get with horses already.

Does crossing rivers and state borders matter for the radius?

It seems some tiles get tons of supplies despite being very far, maybe because they are on the same state as the hub?

It would really help to know that 3 tiles away you get Y supplies, so I could calculate where to put new hubs in remote places. Thanks!

Infrastructure and state matter(both borders and how much you control of the state), not sure about terrain like rivers and mountains but they probably reduce it too.

For range you can look through this:

Supply hubs bug ?

This does not make sense. They are on the supply hub and it has sufficient supply. But my units do not get them. Why do I need to spread them out to get supplies?

There are also terrain modifiers to take into account, for which you can check out this:

Ok, thanks a lot for the answers, reading through it and experimenting I figured out.

My original problem was that I built a hub on the other side of the river, outside Suiyuan, because from a range point of view I expected it to be ok. And the hover map lies, it says that the front 3-tiles away on a different state can be reached with horses!

But then, with horses the actual supply is zero, despite the color on the hover map being the same as well supplied zones 2-tiles away:

With single trucks and railroad level 1 the supply was also zero! Only when I increased the railroad to level 2, it increased to aprox. 0.67 (maybe it should be 0.75 because I am lacking some trucks, you know CCP is poor)

And with double trucks it was around 1.25 with railroad level 1 and increased to an excellent 1.65

But yeah, I totally didn't know that state borders matter when it comes to range, because the hover lies to you and doesn't change the color on state borders.... I guess I should have built it on the other side of the river.

Thanks for this post and for the detailed examples. This kind of testing will save fellow forum dwellers like me a lot of frustration.
