Additional supplies aren't shown on the map
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Game Version number: 1.3.0.125
Modded?: No

Issue Description:
On major violet points there are additional crates with supplies (and I think this mechanic isn't explained anywhere in the manual or elsewhere)
And when you look at the map you usually see this


3604 supplies out of 12000 or similar (most of the time it's 1500 out of whatever).
The thing is that it's never 12000 supplies on the map, because it doesn't show the supplies that are stored in those additional crates.
So when I look at the map trying to understand are there enough supplies for a helicopter on the point I don't know and I have to guess. And when I respawn and there are not enough supplies I have to respawn again and again untill there are enough supplies.
In another situation, I carried additional supplies on a point and it turned out that the point was full. And one crate already had more supplies than it was being shown on the map

Considering that supplies are crucial in this game, I think this is a serious and very annoying bug.

12 000 were formed as follows:
3 supply points in the barracks (3 х 1200)
1 point in a two-story military building(600)
4200

The rest of the storages are already in buildings built by players:
Main Tent: 500
HVD(Heavy Vehicle Depot): 1700 + 1200 + 500
LVD(Light Vehicle Depot): 600
FH(Field Hospital): 2000
Helipad: 1300

7800

4200 + 7800 = 12000

These hidden supply points are only needed to speed up the construction of the base after its capture, or they can be used for another purpose.

If I remember correctly, the amount of supplies in them is always random

Players don't need to think about it, just use it.

when hovering over a town icon in map view town reports 1500/13485 supplies available.
but if you spawn there and try to build you will see that infact 12040 supplies are available.
so map only reports the max resupply amount for the town and does not include the supplies nearby as it used too.

I know that those are additional supplies. They shouldn't be hidden though. And the game also "thinks" so when it shows "out of 12000". It is clearly a bug. The map should show them, because otherwise I don't know how much supplies there are actually. I know why it happens, I even said what is the problem in the issue body and in the issue title.

Different buildings have different radius for searching for supplies

Most likely this was done so that fewer people would know about them
Only those who really need them

perhaps partly related to T178665

There is no way that not showing actual supplies, while showing the maximum amount of supplies including those crates is a feature.

I also believe that those crates must be marked on the map, because they are permanent in all games and they are practically a part of a base. The game has to be more open about those mechanics, because right now it is very confusing for the new players.

I agree with you
