Public Stockpiles
Shared reserves that strangers fight from.
Public stockpiles are the shared supply pools held in bases. They let players who never met equip each other. Filling them is generous; draining them carelessly is how regions fall.

What public stockpiles are
A public stockpile is the supply reserve inside a base that any friendly player can draw from. It holds uniforms, weapons, ammo, medical supplies, materials, and more.
It is the mechanism that lets a soldier spawn fully equipped without knowing who manufactured the gear.
Why they matter
Public stockpiles are the difference between a base that can sustain a fight and one that collapses. A frontline base with a healthy stockpile absorbs losses; an empty one cannot.
Submitting supplies into them is one of the most direct ways to strengthen a region.
Submitting supplies
When you deliver crates to a base, you submit them into its stockpile so others can use them. Always confirm the supplies registered before you leave.
Submitting to the right base — a struggling frontline one, not a comfortable backline one — multiplies the impact.
Fair-use etiquette
Public stockpiles belong to the war effort, not to individuals.
- Take what your current job needs, not a personal reserve
- Do not strip a frontline base to stock a private base
- Do not pull vehicles you cannot crew, protect, or return
- If you over-pull, put the surplus back
Reading stockpile health
Stockpile levels are a forecast. A frontline region with empty bases is about to be in trouble regardless of how the shooting looks right now.
Logistics players watch stockpiles the way generals watch the map.

Emptying a public stockpile to outfit a private base or garage. That is taking the war's shared reserves for personal use.
When a delivery run finishes, glance at the base stockpile. If it is thin on shirts or ammo, that is your next run.
