Museum supplies not getting enough

[Knewace]

Not getting enough museum supplies to unlock upgrades (2 stars, 3 stars etc). It asks for 400 supplies to upgrade to level 2 but i am not getting any supplies. I always seem to get that useless national trade goods in the league boat and victory chest. National trade goods are almost useless. Even when you go for exploration you only get 51 supplies. Supplies are the most important but i don't seem to get many of them.

Please fix this thing, There should be a option to win supplies by winning battles etc.

It is frustrating to see all three options in the league boat or victory chest as national trade goods, they are of almost no use.

For the moment, having a level 7 shipyard is the best option to get supplies. If you upgrade it to level 8 or 9 you will get less!!! Another paradox!
Once in a while you may get some supplies from a victory chest but it is rare.

There is no other way to do it. Nexon created a shortage of supplies on purpose to make us pay for them. Well, my advice is "Don't buy any supplies" and maybe they will start giving reasonable amounts of them. That is all

Max supplies at lv 7 dock?

 

[Knewace]

I upgraded the dock to the latest level, cannot go back.

 

[oddin]

yep this is the ugly truth

 

[No Angel]

Does it give more than level 6s? I found level 6s give the most supplies. But if 7s give most then I might upgrade it.
I'm lucky that dock is the last thing I figure to upgrade

It's true but it took some time after the museum first appeared for people in the game to realize how bad the ratio of supplies to everything else is. Unfortunately it's true that having the most upgraded shipyard gives you the worst supply numbers. Level 6-7 is probably the best in terms of supplies though if you really depend/use the troop cards that it's not the worst position to be in. But this is not a new topic and unfortunately there's nothing that's being done. Just have to really, really be picky about what you want artifacts you want to upgrade. It should be equal through all ages but it's very much unbalanced for sure. There's multiple industrial players in my alliance and their supply numbers are way higher not to mention that while we have the same medal count, they get many more supply rewards in victory chests so it would appear that the age of the base also rewards the player. Obviously it wouldn't say that fact anywhere but when those player have about 6k supplies and the atomic/CWA players have gotten about 4k, there's definitely something to that.

Yes same here. They can roll back building levels for cheaters but not the dock for legit players who got screwed as intended :/

 

[Knewace]

So can we expect a fix in the next update or just bang our heads against a brick wall.

Level 9 gets more than a level 8. I don't have one available right now but I believe there is a 34 supply that level 8 gets and also 52ish (could be less) at level 9.

It doesn't come close to what the lowers get but better. I am guessing they figure by the time you get to GA and up you should have enough of them. Except it doesn't work that way when you just added museum. We all start at 0.

Final dock level gives 51 supplies or something, but they are hard to come by and the only way to get supplies. victory chests and league boat mostly gives that national trade good, useless.

All of us with fully upgraded docks will have to forget about museum supplies. We can either pay for them or just keep playing like we did before the museum existed.
For me, the museum is just a nice distraction and gives me a negligible bonus, I’m not relying on it for bonus loot.
The whole system sucks, unless you’re one of those lucky few with worthwhile artifacts.

For me, the museum is just a nice distraction and gives me a negligible bonus.

Agreed, but I do get 25% interest in a Vault, 15% oil deposit, 15% oil looted & 13% oil from wells. I'm not gonna lie I consider myself lucky with all those artifacts but I'm sure others got it even better.

Everyone is complaining about supplies at the max dock, and they do feel scarce. But the fact is that you can get them for a much smaller worker / time investment than at lower levels. The 128 at a level 6 or 7 dock comes at the cost of 4 workers for 2 days, vs 2 for 6 hours for 34 or 51 at a max dock. How many people are going to regularly keep 4 workers available to do dock expeditions? The max dock is the most efficient way to get supplies.

I feel like Nexon has calibrated the system so it will take two years or so to gather enough supplies to max out 8 artifacts, or you can pay to do it faster. That is very in line with the way they set up the rest of the game. A new player starting now will be able to have maxed out artifacts when they hit cold war.

Now, the number of researchers and benefactors is completely and ridiculously out of line with the need for them. They should not have put those in so many expeditions at the max dock at all, should have left the old benefits on most of the expeditions.

The real problem with the museum is the stupid grind through finding terrible artifacts. It is not a fun system.

Food for thought/ideas:
- marco polo could trade supplies for rubies
- 5 star victories could give small amounts of supplies (5-10)
- take benefactors off from some expeditions and give supplies instead

it's not hard to make it fair for all. I believe they don't want to...

 

[KingoftheBongo]

This needs to be addressed... Upgrading the dock was always a bad idea... you always get punished for it in at least one way especially beyond level 7... why can‘t we just also do expeditions to all previously unlocked destinitions. Why do they get replaced instead? Completely stupid. Also, I‘d like to have the peace treaty back on several expeditions... who needs that many researchers anyway?

Dock = 100% fail in game balance

 

[pckrn]

i have a maxed dock on my alt and a lvl 6 dock on my main and my alt has a lot more supplies than my main.

and i dont feel that supplies are in short supply (hehe).
rather, researchers and benefactors are in too great abundance. some of the expeditions that provide those should be changed, not into supplies, but into ntgs and diamonds and such. (as yemen said)

 

[KingoftheBongo]

No Title

That‘s the whole point... reseachers and benefactors are very easy to get and barely needed. In fact, you get them so easily, that when you come to a level 4/5 upgrade, you likely have collected enough of them as „bycatch“...
Also, where‘s the diamond in level 9 docks? Frankly, in high leages you don‘t do 5 stars all the time, so I regularly run the expedition overnight to afford my tank destroyers.
Level 9 dock would be signifcant downgrade here, as you get useless NTGs instead.
