@EE_Elephterion,
For clarification purposes with the information provided above, would the following statement below be true?
A fully activated tunnel (a tunnel that has 5 bases with the correct offense level) will spawn a maximum of 24 outposts a day ( 1 per hour) which includes follow-ups.
Scenario: A tunnel has been activated for 2 hours. Theoretically, 2 outposts will have spawned. That means up to that point, the tunnel will only provide 2 outposts. No follow-up outposts will spawn since only two outposts will have been spawned in total.
