Facility Etiquette
Shared industry, shared responsibility.
Many facilities are public or shared. They only work if players respect them: contributing resources, taking output fairly, and not hoarding or sabotaging the work of others.

Why etiquette matters here
Facilities represent huge amounts of collective labour. A shared facility only functions if the players using it treat it as common infrastructure, not a personal resource.
Etiquette is what keeps facilities running for everyone.
Respecting public facilities
Public facilities belong to the war effort. Use their output for the front, not for a private hoard, and do not dismantle or repurpose other players' work without coordination.
Treat someone else's facility the way you would want yours treated.
Contributing fairly
- If you take output, contribute resources or labour back
- Help maintain power, pipelines, and supply
- Coordinate before changing a shared facility's layout
- Do not strip a facility's stock for personal projects
How bad behaviour breaks facilities
Hoarding output, draining inputs, blocking access, or carelessly altering shared builds can collapse a facility that many players relied on.
One inconsiderate player can undo days of collective work.
When to build private versus public
If you want full control, contribute to a clearly private regiment facility with its owners' agreement. If you use public facilities, accept the shared rules that come with them.
Know which kind you are using and behave accordingly.

If you draw from a shared facility, give back: resources, labour, or maintenance. Shared industry runs on reciprocity.
