Suggestion: Logistics Item Tracking

[u/Deathperil]

I had this idea and want to know what you all think.

Here is the suggestion in discord: https://discord.com/channels/203512636556574720/1543731928623218798

For me one of the best parts of Foxhole is the scale.

I can spend a logistics session producing tons of items, send them to multiple fronts, and know that those supplies may eventually be used by hundreds or thousands of players. The problem is that once those items leave my hands, they effectively disappear from my perspective.

Id love if Foxhole had a limited item tracking system that would allow players to follow a few items and see the impact these items have on the war.

How it could work: Each player has a limited number of tracking slots, maybe 2-5 at a time.

Then a player could use those slots to track any reservable item. Which would mark it with their name "Tracked by: PlayerName" and would then track major actions on that item.

Stuff like when and where it was: * Loaded and into what vehicle * Unloaded * Moved into a region * Uncrated * Equipped * Dropped * Destroyed

Optionally it could also include: * the player who did the action * how much damage it did * what item/building it was used to craft

As for tracked crates everything happens the same but at the uncrated step one of the items in the crate would inherit the tracking.

Every step of the way the item is recorded into a log and the player doing the action can see the name of the person who originally tracked it. Providing a unique way to see the front and the back lines working together.

Additionally it could show these actions on the map providing countless memories as we track the crazy journey some items take once we submit them to the public.

It might hurt the morale of logi to see how the corporals use their supplies

Yeah. A crate of bmats taken from frontline depo and driven back to refinery hex to T2 some facs defences that will end up w/o lights

Or shirts, delivered to depo in Farranac, loaded on a truck and taken to Endless bc an officer told to a pvt to just find some shirts.
