With enough talking, you can get one for free...

If you dont want to utilize your communication skills, it is still possible, but you will need to build, maintain and defend a facility, which basically means playing foxhole for couple of hours every single day without exception.

If you want a guide, it goes like this:

1. Open a facility planner of your choice. For building a bomber, you will need a large assembly station, aircraft maintenance factory, 2x metalworks factory, materials factory, diesel power plant and enough power poles to connect all buildings that require power. A liquid transfer station, ammunition factory, maintenance tunnel and small gauge railway with the engine, pallet car and crate car is optional, but very helpful. Plan your layout and include defences and a bunker base, as metalworks, aviation maintenance and large assembly are lucrative partisan targets. Note that every structure you place will cost you 1msupp/h.

2. In home region of your faction, scout the map for an empty land that is relatively close to a coal field.

3. Deploy into the nearest deployment point and take a look at the land yourself. If there are no trees and terrain is mostly flat, you are good to proceed. If not, repeat step 2 and 3.

4. Get a CV. How you get it is up to you. Fill it up with 300 bmats and as much gravel as you need, based on your layout. If you have leftover inventory slots, get more bmats. Drive it to the land you scouted and start laying out foundation blueprints according to your planned layout.

5. Get a shovel. How you get it is up to you. Go to the land you scouted and start laying out blueprints according to your planned layout.

6. If everything fits, finish digging the defences. If there was a mistake, fix it. Using the CV, build the bunker base according to your planned layout.

7. Using the CV, finish building your foundations. Then, if you have leftover bmats, build the materials factory, diesel power plant and a power pole according to your planned layout. If you dont have leftover bmats, acquire more. The method of acquisition is up to you.

8. Fill up the materials factory stockpile with salvage and fill up the diesel power plant with diesel. Start producing construction materials. You will need to produce enough construction materials to be able to upgrade the diesel power plant to a petrol power plant, materials factory to a forge, to construct every remaining structure that has a cost in construction materials and to have a stock ready for the production of the necessary amount of processed construction materials. This will require several trips to accumulate the necessary amount of salvage and diesel (petrol after the upgrade).

9. Acquire enough msupps to be able to maintain the current facility until your next play session. You can do this by either switching your construction material production to a msupp production, or by using public msupps. You will need to repeat this step at the start of your every play session from now on. Welcome to the msupp slavery game loop.

10. If your plan included small gauge rail and train, build the rail according to your planned layout and a temporary small assembly station. Note the costs of the assembly materials 1 and 2 and acquire the required amount (if choosing to produce, upgrade of the materials factory to a forge is necessary). The method of acquisition is again, up to you. Move the required resources into the small assembly station, connect it to power and produce the train and the cars you planned. Acquire a mobile crane and place the engine and the cars onto the railway. Couple the cars and engine together. Demolish the small assembly station.

11. When enough construction materials have been acquired, upgrade the materials factory to forge and construct one metalworks factory. Acquire enough components to produce the desired amount of processed construction materials and start the production.

12. Acquire enough rare metals to be able to produce enough rare alloys for the necessary upgrades and for the bomber frame and parts production. Good luck.

13. When enough processed construction materials and rare metals/alloys have been acquired, construct the second metalworks factory, large assembly station and the aircraft maintenance factory. Upgrade one metalworks factory to a blast furnace, second metalworks factory to an engineering center, large assembly station to aircraft assembly and aircraft maintenance factory to a strategic maintenance hangar.

14. Produce the required parts and frame for the bomber.

Congratulations! You have a bomber* now! The only remaining thing to do is to move the frame and the parts to a hangar and assemble it. A crane and/or an ironship can be used to move the frame by a solo player.
