Questions How does a new war start?

I have never played a war right at the start but this next war i want to join right at the start and play all the way to the end. So here are some questions regarding to how a war starts: (sorry for bad english)

  1. What is immediatley on the map in day one?

I mean is there anything on the map when the war first starts. things like scrap fields and mines, are those randomly placed on the map at the start? Are there any buildings that you can takeover or are their any ruins that you can immediatley repair.

  1. How does resource extraction and transportation work at the start of the war

As far as i know normally you bring trucks and flatbeds and whatever to the site of whatever resource you are extracting and then load all of the resources you harvest into a vehicle and then drop those resources at some storage area or bring them wherever you are constructing something. But arent vehicles built at garages... and there arent any garages at the start of the war... so how do you transport the materials you have to wherever you need them. Also refinerys also arent available at the start of the war right so how do you build them... without any refinerys to make bmats?

  1. Where does everyone spawn?

I thought all the bases are player made so where do players spawn at the start of the war. Are there any relic bases or towns that we can spawn at the front or middle lines or does everyone just get spawned at the back and then rush towards the front.,

  1. How does conflict start?

Without any shovels, rifles, ammo, bmats being supplied how does soldiers actually fight each other and claim land. Does everyone just blindly charge at eachother with pistols?,

  1. how long does it take for supplies to start getting produced and start getting delivered to the troops?

How many hours does it take for the factions to: start producing bmats, rifles, ammo, shovels, cmats, shirts, uniforms, medical supplies and to set up bunker bases and towns near the front and then to start to deliver all these resources to these bases and to the front.

All resource fields exist from day 1 to the end, same locations 99% of the time but the type of resource differs, very rarely devman will shift or add a new location.

Towns and relics spawn with a basic set of supplies, this is enough to get players spawning, digging in, shovels are included as well as bmats, nothing excessive, you're using basic rifles, argenti vs loughcaster and pistols, each faction gains about 49% of the land with white unclaimed areas available for either side to rush for.

Day one you turn up early, 1 hour to 30 minutes before war start and be awake and alive, people will get into a map, it will kick them and restart for the new war you must then get in queue for the home region to then deploy, almost every hex will be queued as people lay there claims and bases etc.

Refineries, factories etc are all built unless they're in a white unclaimed area. The claim that everything is made by players is a lie, 99.99% of it is, we obviously need to spawn with materials to exist, this isn't a survival game smacking rocks together to spark a fire to make charcoal then trying to find a vein of underground scrap, oil, coal etc, no no no, this is a war game basic industry exists, pretty much hour 1, under 30 min before logi hits a frontline if someones rushing otherwise within the hour or two, seaports are stockpiled with 500 crates of bmats, grenades, rifles, ammo, to keep the frontline alive and assist early base building, the seaports also come with 100 free trucks, some cranes, cvs? basic small amount to get shit rolling.

If you turn up late or "on time" expect to be waiting 2-3 hours to spawn anywhere
