Quote from EMS-Chief

The water requirement is shown on the top of the mission, as is how much is presently selected / en route.

If you want an ARR that only selects vehicles based on water, perhaps you should use the "Gallons of water" option? Would that be a workaround?

At present, we are looking at two-sides (both very valid), one side which has wants an exclusive water tanker only, so it increases the gallons of water on scene, while the other side can use the foam tenders to satisfy the Water Tanker requirement on a mission.

I do like the idea & I will give it a go

The only problem I see before I even change my ARR’s to use gal of water is that it will dispatch my wildfire aircraft

But if the foam tender doesn’t have a water quantity it defeats it having a dual purpose

As it means I still have to send water to the mission with other units

Any update on the foam tenders getting fixed

They used to work dual purpose as a water tanker and are still selected as a water tanker in the ARR’s

However for some time now the foam tender hasn’t had any water quantity in the buy vehicle tab. If you send it to a mission it also doesn’t fill the requirement of a water tanker

Hello Mrwar1

I am not having any issues with the mission generation / spawning as I have the units I need for the missions and yes I have all of my dispatch centres edited to only use attached stations for mission generation

My comment was simply helping the other by letting them know that the game has missions with 1 fire investigation expansion / building that will require up to 2 fire investigation units

With 1 fire investigation expansion or building will allow missions that require 1-2 fire investigation units

Both fire investigation and fire prevention do the same job and meet the fire investigation requirement

The fire investigation unit can be used as a police patrol car and has the ability to transport prisoners

On computer you have a button on the left side of the map

Click on that button and it moves the map into its own webpage you can close that webpage and continue to play the game to restore the map at the top of the screen click the button that says restore map

I often use it to move the game map to a second screen for my son to watch the trucks responding to the missions

Hi team

1: I have the small coastal boat trailer available on fire stations under the water rescue tab my fire stations don’t have the coastal rescue expansion

2: the small coastal boat trailer also has no requirements listed for a towing unit

Alliance transport admin and admins can cancel the transport of patients.

1: If the owner of the units is offline then the patient can be realised instantly upon the ambulance finishing the on scene treatment.

2: the transports can be canceled by an alliance admin if the player is online but has been AFK <30 minutes

my alliance will give transport admin too any member who is contributing tax to the alliance fund following the set out requirements this cuts down on the number of offline transports

Honestly I don’t see this being worth while as the custom LSM pay so little that it would just tie up more units for the same payout

We did a mission to test payment for max foam and water we got 17,800

Foam tenders alone I had sent my entire 95 to that single mission which had over 32,000 firefighters on scene

Quote from ChiefBoden61

I can tell you that I have dozens of those in a day. not just 1 per clinic

I was stating that it has its own mission cap

So if you have 2 clinics you will only have a max of 2 patient transport missions at the same time

Quote from COVID19

Sorry to reopen the thread but I had a relevant question: Are those missions generated like any other mission: random, part of your max mission count and if you have turbo on for mission generation, they have a chance to generate every 20 seconds? Just wondering if adding clinics will give me a ton of income or something extra or be taking the spots of possible ambulance missions since I'm eventually going to reach 6480 stations (36hrs worth of missions on turbo speed)

Patient transport missions are not part of your max missions

Patient transport is under the second mission tab it have the little ambulance icon, they have there own mission cap and that is based on 1 patient transport mission per 1 clinic

As for the generation speed it is as far as I can tell completely random

As alasizon said make sure you have enough towing units if you using the light boat trailers

I would double check that you haven’t selected the same towing unit for multiple boat trailers (I leave all my trailers set to random towing unit)

Quote from Scottybbooyy

No, the response distance setting has no effect on mission spawn. Only on sending units to missions. Mission spawn radius is coded in and can't be changed. Only time its changed is when you trigger the anti-bot system, and spawn radius is increased to punish you. Otherwise, the spawn radius remains the same.

The mission spawning at max radius is triggered by building to many stations in a close proximity to each other.

The game settings actually has a warning for this you can check it by clicking on a dispatch centre then click on the settings tab, what your looking for would be the last line

Do not show warning message when buildings are built too close together

Unless you have turned that off you would know if this was the reason

Quote from a_guy

So, I switched locations in game from Durham to NYC by moving my main station, but I’m still getting Durham calls. How can I fix this?

If you are moving stations from an area and you will have no stations left at the original location you are best to pause mission generation and complete all missions, then move your stations before you resume mission generation

You can pause mission generation in the mission speed tab

When I first found this feature I had a couple ems chiefs that wouldn’t automatically transport.

Not sure if this is of any help.

I found when setting the automatic transport patients to not activate if the units was not on station (status 2) I canceled the ems chiefs and then when they got back and sent them out to the next message they worked as they should

How do you build a prison, it doesn't come up in options to build?

Alliance admins have the ability to build prisons

Regular members are not able to build them

Quote from Scottybbooyy

To be honest, this update is kind of useless thinking about it.

A patient is only released once every hour. Meaning if you play daily, and need those beds, at most your hospitals will only clear 24, and will always have 16 patients in them.

Much better to build a 2nd hospital with 20 beds.

Yes you do get more benefit from having more actual hospital buildings as long as you spread your patients out when you transport them.

If you have the ems chiefs or MCV automatically transporting then you would have to set a minimum beds to be left so it wouldn’t fill a single hospital

My alliance will build up to 10 hospitals at the IRL location and name them with W1 - W9 to sort off suggest different wards within that hospital

When I look at my daily summary that you get with the LSSM v3 or v4 I never treat less than 4,000 patients in a game day

We also don’t have the upgraded hospitals to 50 beds like the UK has now

Which is something that would be needed if US missions where to have more patients

Quote from DragonBlade

Those aren't in the US version hence this being the US forum.

No that’s right those specific units aren’t on the US

We have trailers the AU server has had trailers for a lot longer for the mounted police

but I have had my mass casualty trailers be left behind on missions before so I am giving advice on how I was able to fix it.

Quote from roadie122000

there is no radio traffic requesting a vehicle, nor a "cancel" button

thanks for the replies, any other suggestions would be appreciated

Do you know what station it was from

Maybe try going through the station to click on the trailer

It should bring up a screen for you to select a towing unit

If that isn’t available then check the area around where the mission was in map few as the trailers when they are returning to station without a towing unit move at walking speed

The trailer should actually be in the radio requesting a transport it works like the DE version and UK with the swap bodies (drop containers)

Quote from roadie122000

I accidentally stranded a mass casualty trailer at a call scene, How can I retrieve it after the scene disappears?

Thanks
