Maintenance Supplies
The supplies that stop decay.
Structures in Foxhole decay over time. Maintenance supplies are what keep bases, bunkers, and fortifications standing. A region can be lost simply because nobody kept its maintenance topped up.

What decay is
Player-built structures gradually decay if left unattended. This prevents the map from filling permanently with abandoned construction and keeps fortifications a living responsibility.
Decay means a base is never finished — it has to be sustained.
What maintenance supplies do
Maintenance supplies are consumed to keep structures from decaying. Stocked in a base, they hold its structures and fortifications in good condition over time.
Without them, even a strong position quietly weakens.
Keeping maintenance topped up
Maintenance is an ongoing logistics task, not a one-time delivery.
- Check maintenance levels at bases you rely on
- Deliver maintenance supplies before they run out, not after
- Treat key bunkers and field bases as standing maintenance routes
- Coordinate so important positions are never left to decay
Why this is a real job
Maintenance runs are unglamorous but decisive. A region lost to decay is lost without a fight, and preventing that is a genuine contribution.
Solo players in particular can own maintenance for a sector.
When maintenance matters most
Maintenance matters most for the bunkers and bases a faction depends on. The bigger the fortification, the more catastrophic it is to let it decay.
Build maintenance into the plan for every major structure.
