Introduction And Outpost 2 Help Request
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:45:42 AM »
Hey everybody!  Wonderful site you have here.  I actually bought outpost 1 way back in the day and thought it was fun, but way too hard back then.  I recently found it, got back into it, and have looked into outpost 2 now.

Unfortunately, (and I'm starting to wonder if I'm crazy, since I can't find an answer to this anywhere on netland and I would think it would be a common problem...) I can't beat the SECOND LEVEL on the eden campaign because I need
a) 6000 units of metal
B) 2000 units of food
and I have 7 cargo trucks that each carry 1000 units!  And I can't find any structures that build cargo trucks!  How do I get 8000 units of stuff into 7000 units of cargo?

Anyway, I'm probably missing something simple, but I just hope I'm not crazy.

Again, awesome site.

I suspect you're missing a cargo truck. They're all possible, I've been through that level on all difficulties.

Don't you have a to build a Vehicle Factory in that level? It's been a while since I played the campaigns. You probably have to research the right tech before you can build it.

That's mission 3, not mission 2.

There are people who want to be treated as idiots. I've dedicated all my life to fulfill their wish.

Self-destructing units on Mission 1 or 2 = auto-fail.

Edit: Point being that if this was the case, he'd know.
Anyways, this is becoming less an introduction and more a help request.  Maybe it's time to move the topic or make a new one?
