I....what....

Ok, let's just unpack everything wrong here.

1. Cades without barbed wire.
2. A bunch of metal cades in useless positions.
3. FUCKING SANDBAGS ON PRISON STATION.
4. The two horizontal plasteel cades in a useless position.
5. The sentry's placement could be a bit better.
6. The poor bastard in the stasis bag not being moved to a safer position.
7. No fallback cade lines in case of a breach.

[FGRSentinel]

You forgot gaps in the line for 1-2 benos to get through. In fact, from the positioning of the cades in the upper right, it seems like that was designed specifically to make marines stand in a spot the benos would run alongside them between the cades and delimb them. Also, cades facing (literally) empty space and nothing else.

what the fob

Classic "AI exploitation" FOB. Everyone knows that there are no Xenomains, just bots play them. A little more advanced bots, that can write posts on forum, but still bots. AI will take the "easiest" way when there is no "closed" barricades.

Tested on "Stronghold Crusader", so it works here too.

what the fob

This is the sort of setup I'd expect to see in a game of Rimworld. Ain't she gorgeous?

[Pedr007]

Literally DM Devs or any engineer mains and ask them if you don't trust me.

LZ2 LV FOB is pointless because it has basically the same layout as LZ1 but it's MISSING THE DROPSHIP CONSOLE

and Big Red LZ2 FOB just shouts "go around me, destroy T-Comms and steal the metal bird"

Go ask the Devs for an official statement, post it here. Until then youre full of BS.

lmao are you trying to turn my point against me?

[Pedr007]

lmao are you trying to turn my point against me?

Bruv youre quoting and refering to always somebody else, always someone said this, got 2000 hours, is a dev, dude, please. Do you actually play this game and gather your own data or are you the kind of guy thats just gonna take everything his friends tell him for face value. I want hard data, not "Somebody told me that you hat LZ2 FOB and we now always do LZ1 FOBs, 1000 hours, Dev on Discord cries about LZ2 FOBs too when he plays". Like what. Come on man. Lazyness and habits.

[Avalanchee]

No Im trying to figoure retarded the Devs really are.

Yeah ok cool this is the wrong thread,
Stay on topic or go somewhere else

I came here to talk about FOBs and game mechanics, Tetrino here wants to shitpost FOB pics so he can feel good about himself,
youre just here to say "My friends told me this so Im gonna repeat it until I die and when I get challenged I will always refer to my friends opinion as the most valid"
As such, this discussion is over. I got all I neede to know. Thanks buddy

This was a from a round earlier today:





Needless to say the FOB got overrun in about....3 minutes after the siege started.

[Mister Jeether]

Whitelist engineers.

Now.

These FOBs make me question my sanity.

[Vispain]

these FOBs look superb. nuthin wrong here.

FOB on Big red LZ1: 10.48 GMT 16/10/2018

BONUS SCREENSHOT: Don't weld the vents/cut the pipes so an elder lurkers can kill the engies fixing comms.

(Yeah It's my corpse on the screenshot, and YEAH I'm a bit salty atm)

[Gnorse]

Whenever I go engineer, every other engineer is literally on some bob the builder shit, but when I go literally any other role, it's like half of those people never touched metal in their lives.

Considering that there is an old sentry there, this FOB is 100% secured.

[Chatillon]

Some of those FOB are drunken master style

[immaspaceninja]

[FGRSentinel]

Oh god, there's a name that gives me nightmares...

[Dolth]

I just want a 56D behind one cade row with any structures that protect from projectiles while giving visibility on the sides to protect from boiler gas, another cade in case of breach while you still can reach and shoot from behind and voilà. Supress the fuckers, barely anyone manage to empty the first 56d drum. And at BEST, get a very close visual cover to protect you from scree's. (Yeah that's powergamy until you hear first scree. I mean you're an engineer.

ALSO. I found out you can potentially leave an open gap, purposedly, if you have REAL firepower (56d or some brainful deltas with BC AP)to back it up AND a way to seal it real quick. Like a wrenchable thingie. That way you get a lovely funnel and unless you get screeched before you could seal (Yeah you're obviously sealing if you are getting overwhelmed it's a mid-threat-trap, btw those are the stronkest defenses/offenses).

Other than that, yeah, our FOB's are shit with sentries too far, unassisted claymores, m56d behind the second row of cades (Which is why you often see pfc Dolth stealing those), and just generally people shooting from afar, wounding but no killing.

VOILÀ!
I need to do a guide.

Yesterday, there was one round on Solaris Ridge where the big-brained marines, for their major FOB, built one layer of barricades. Inside the hangar. Without any mines, mounted guns, or anything besides ammo boxes.
Needless to say, one boiler shot and then the Queen rushing the FOB resulted in the marines losing LZ1 in about 20 seconds.
