Questions about buildings in Mike Force

Nutzgo

Hi!
We've pretty new into Mike Force, and have by now captured 2 zones.
We couldn't find any guide or explanation about the buildings we can build in the FOB, except the Situtation Room and the respawn point.

We tried building all special buildings to test their effects.
The reammo-station, is this for vehicles? How do you interact with this? We had a tank empty it's ammo, drove up to this station, but nothing happened. We did not find any menu or interaction options for this, even if we drove up close. Same thing for repair station.

There are two different fuel stations. Is one for aircrafts and the other for vehicles?

The Aid Station, what purpose does it serve? Can medics fully heal soldiers here, or is the healing time faster?

The vehicle create-station (or whatsitsname), how does this work? We built it; but no interaction options here either.

I'm also new here and interested in the fob building. the vehicle create station Ive seen in action during a MP session, engineers construct it then they can interact with it to spawn new vehicles, im guessing its same as for building, as long as the raw materials are there. A working FOB needs respawn point and an HQ to get it up and running.

Thanks Sprool. Allright, so it can be interacted with. I still don't know how. I also see that if I'm in Zeus, I can see positions for Duty Officer and Supply Officer in the enemy territories, but after we've captured these zones, no officers seems to spawn in. Anyone know how? Still missing a proper guide for some of the game mechanics as it's not that intuitive to find out by ourselves. It's a bit sad really, because Mike Force is by far the best game mode I've played in Arma in years.

As far as I know the duty officers and supply officers are only present at the 4 main bases - MIke force, Green Hornets, Acav and Spike team, they do not populate FOB's you construct yourself. This forces people to return to the main bases for team reassignment or supply spawning.

COnstruct a FOB with HQ, construct a vehicle station, make sure it has supplies then ACav Engineer can press a key inside or front of the building (is it '6' or 'N' - not sure?) then select from a list which vehicle is wanted. Just like when you construct an object or building for a FOB.

I tried getting a vehicle station to create vehicles but am not able to do it, no option or menu appears. Anyone else have the answer? Do you need more engineering equipemt like welding rods, etc?

Make sure there's nothing blocking the "main" part of the building (like bushes, trees, or rocks); then stand in the little "office" to the side and press "6". You should get a radial menu showing your vehicle options. If you can't build any of them, make sure the building is fully supplied.

Sprool

Thanks - I will try that, are regular building supplies enough, via the HQ building or do you need it supplied with anything else?
[update]- no just a large crate of building materials.
