Expanding Small Stations plus new building type.

  • It may have been mentioned before but i cant find it, could the Small Fire station allow one building expansion eg ambulance/swift water/Airport fire. this way its not going to cost everyone loads to expand and add these. you could limit this to ONE expansion only.



    alsoadding this here to remove it from unit suggestion page.


    I know this is not a Unit but a building suggestion,



    yes i know i could just place a staging area but they only last 24 hrs. and place them on patrols but this is not always viable,



    Parking area/holding area.. name it what you like



    its has no building and the max it can hold is two units, only for
    Police and Ambulance not fire. there is no expansions. this is just a
    parking area for those places were there is no poilce station/ambulance
    stataion.



    cost between 2500-5000 depending on what the devs feel like.



    just a out loud thought thats all guys.

  • The way you get round that is by having your units still atached to a station but temp out at the standby location

  • I can see were the Devs are coming from and i understand that it could be abused.


    just those with large set ups who took advantage of the 50% event to expand more will now face a more expensive fee to upgrade small to large and then expand to SWR/Ambulance/ARFF as if i had known new units may have been due to be added i wouldnt of expanded like i did and would of placed the large stations in advance.


    in a sence im lucky that within the 1st 25 stations its only 50K to upgrade but as i reach my most added it will be over 700K and then added price of extension and units..


    could they look at limiting how many small stations could have extensions. or adjusting the price of the extension/units when built onto a small station. as i said i dont want to build all 3 extensions just the 1

  • This seems like a really good idea, as for my area (I play the US version with a UK set up) we had emergency first responders, which respond to life threatening emergencies in rural areas. E.g. a small retained fire station would have a EFR car and a couple of firefighters would staff it when paged. Allowing 1 expansion at a small station would really help, so I could buy an ambulance expansion and fly car at all of the small stations which had EFR cars.

  • When I spoke to TACRfan on discord, I suggested that the smaller stations could be limited to 1 expansion such as the EMS expansion, as many rural stations in the UK tend to have a ambulance station or police station in one to save money, some even have tri services (Police Fire and EMS) all in one building.


    I would be up for the small station expansion to be limited to only the EMS or water rescue expansion say or just one expansion, the water rescue as those are the typical vehicles that might be in small station in the UK.

    We have the ability to house co-responders at small and large stations now which act exactly as an RRV but with co-responder training through the fire school. These do not need an expansion so can be purchased as soon as you have built a station. Is this what you're looking for?

  • thats one thing what could be looked at in a future update is an all in one station. but limit these building to say 1in every 25 bulidings could be made a tri service like dispatch bulidings. otherwise it would be very abused. i know this isnt always pratical with coding etc and the devs outlook on the game. but we can only suggest and pass it on. i would also support the small station to one expansion of either EMS/SWR. and make the ARFF only on large stations.
