Helldivers 2 has supply lines that connect Super Earth to liberated planets. You can then follow the supply lines to Automaton and Terminid worlds to capture them. However, if a liberated planet's supply lines are cut off from Super Earth, it'll quickly fall into enemy hands. It's a pivotal part of understanding the Galactic War, but you can't view them in-game right now.
If you want to see how they work, there's a webpage called Helldivers.io . Click the three squares in the top right and select "supply lines" from the drop-down menu.
Fans are calling for that to change after the last Major Order went sour, as many claimed that the community attacked the "wrong" planets by ignoring the supply lines. However, one look at the subreddit and you'll see it was less a case of ignoring them and more a case of not knowing what they are, to begin with.
Reddit user TheKrzysiek put together a "simple concept" of how it would look on the Galactic Map. They added flowing red arrows from planet to planet, demonstrating how the connections work and highlighting how severed supply lines rapidly lose Liberation percentage.
Some argue that supply lines should be an optional map toggle, while others suggest they should only appear when hovering over a planet. Both ideas would reduce clutter while still making it clear how each world is connected. Others, however, want to see supply lines active all the time so that everyone is keenly aware of what planet to attack next.
We lost this Major Order because we have people playing on battlefields that don't help. The supply line 'debate' is because we had so many people playing on the Creek instead of pushing the planet tied to the main objective. We lost Ubana at 95 percent liberated because Draupnir wasn't defended.
Hopefully something comes of these calls to make the map clearer. But if you want to make sure you're attacking the best planets for the wider war effort in the meantime, it's worth double-checking the supply lines. You can do that through Helldivers.io as mentioned above, or you can grab one of many pictures from the subreddit.
Helldivers 2 is the sequel to the third-person shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios. This time out, the Helldivers are deep in the Galactic War, and it's up to you to bring Managed Democracy to the masses.

The new Helldivers 2 Major Order was smashed through in under a day, but some players are concerned the game wasn't tracking Terminid kills correctly.
The next step in Helldivers 2’s ongoing Galactic War is here, and it’s just about the most straightforward yet: kill bugs. Lots of bugs.
Last week, the Helldivers 2 community was successful in carrying out the mission of completely decimating the Automaton faction, leaving many to wonder where the game would go from here. As many predicted, things are only going to get worse from here.
borrows a lot of things from the first game, but skips out on multiple enemy factions — not just the Illuminate. At launch and up until the time of writing, Helldivers 2 has had two enemy factions: the Terminids (Bugs) and the Automatons (Bots). However, with the recent total success of the Major Order "", it appears the Automatons have finally been eradicated once and for all. Of course, there's always a chance they'll return, but for the time being, players are left to wonder what comes next.
Did you really think Helldivers 2 players had wiped out the Automatons for good? Nope.
A number of Helldivers 2 trophies can no longer be unlocked. And while Helldivers 2 is hence currently impossible to platinum, there's reason to believe that players will eventually get another chance to grab these trophies.
Two months after the launch of Helldivers 2, one of its enemy factions, the Automatons, has been wiped out. Arrowhead Game Studios issued a new Major Order, “Swift Disassembly” two weeks ago to destroy the entire faction, and players have seemingly succeeded. This is despite the Automatons deploying new walker-like Factory Striders and gunships.
The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order has commenced, and it's bad news for the Automatons. Game Master Joel demands we liberate three worlds controlled by the bucket heads in just three days.
Helldiver's 2's latest, most relentless campaign continues as «Operation Swift Disassembly» develops. This time, the mission objective is nothing less than the complete eradication of the Automatons for good. And while the war is still far from over, lovers of liberty can sleep soundly tonight, comforted by the joyous news that Malevelon Creek is finally free of the machine menace.
is upping the firepower available to the soldiers of Super Earth, but as exciting as this news may be, it could actually be a cause for concern. Over the course of 's updates, there's been a good bit of debate over how strong weapons should be, with some key nerfs that addressed overpowered weapons causing community backlash from those who fell in love with these advantages. The nail-biting difficulty found on higher levels can make for thrilling gameplay, however, even if it dilutes the sense of a power fantasy.
As the community continues to fight in Super Earth's galactic war, one dedicated play has envisioned a simple yet effective solution to one of the game's persistent problems: Supply lines. While Arrowhead Studios does an excellent job of introducing mechanics and concepts to players, one aspect that isn't clarified when starting up the game is how interplanetary travel works. Fortunately, with such a committed player base, it didn't take long for players to learn about supply lines but despite the discovery, many are still unclear on how they actually work.
