Hit another roadblock in adapting my base to the new power requirements: construction limits. Adding a bunch of solar panels and batteries won’t be possible unless I trim a bunch of other stuff, not all of which I consider to be non-essential. Starting a new base from scratch is beginning to look more and more like a better way to go.
I’m nearly certain my base doesn’t have 3,000 components (counting the plants) but maybe I’m overlooking something.
