However, if your processing facilities are full, your ore will get carried past this to the nearest storage, only to be taken back the other direction later if no new ore is available from the mines (radiation storm/yellow or red alert/etc).Д«uilding a small/medium storage facility between the mines and the ore processing saves both directions of the trip to the interior storage facility. This is smart and improves efficiency because it decreases travel time as long as a metal processor can accept an ore resource. In the mid-game, I have seen lots of players build separate facilities for processing ore, and place it near the mines. They make decent rooms for high traffic areas. Storage can provide many corridor connections, so it is useful as a hub for multiple airlocks or situations where you want a room to be near several other rooms.manage resource surpluses (my goal for a stable base is a manageable surplus of all resource types).organize the flow of resources through your base.provide local storage close to where the resource is likely to be consumed.Workers and Carrier Bots will always favor nearby storage locations when taking a resource to storage, you can exploit this to:.Doing this effectively will shorten the total distance resources need to travel. As you scale and start to specialize regions of your base in the mid-game, give each specialized region it's own storage space. Open Slots: for future expansion, like Control Center, other Storage etc.|В : connection medium (with oxygen) iВ : connection small (power lines only).Airlocks (1,2,3): external maintenance (1), ships (2,3), mines (2,3), as (2,3) are closer to the Storage.A drafted example of a base build logistic lines:.Solar Panel or Wind Turbine - Solar Panel or Wind Turbine - Power Collector - Water Extractor - Water Tank.Storage - airlock - Landing Pad or Starport.Biodome - lab or Canteen or Processing Plant.Intruders will only come when you have a certain amount of prestige(75), hold off on Guards in the early game.They can only be built after the Control Center is built.

Get the Telescope and Anti-Meteor Laser as soon as possible, Sandstorms, Solar Flares, and Meteors can decimate the Colonist population.Furthermore, you do not start out with any Medics on the Class M/S planet. New Colonists are the only way to increase the size of your colony. Get the Landing Pad as soon as possible.Sandstorm imminent / Solar Flare imminent: NOW.Sandstorm approaching soon / Solar Flare hitting soon: 5 hours out.Sandstorm approaching / Solar Flare detected: 10 hours out.The Telescope Console must be manned by an Engineer in order to work. The Control Center and Telescopes MAY allow for early detection of weather events.The best area to start is N/S 0 - W/E - 175 Each gives you a vast plain to build (While using this area, divide your area as 1/4 Exterior 3/4 Interior or 1/2 Exterior & Interior.(Except if you are playing on the Storm Planet, because there is no natural disaster except lightning in that Planet and lightning is not associated with the Control Center) Without it, you cannot force your colonists indoors during Sandstorms or Solar Flares. Get the Control Center as soon as possible.One Biologist can maintain about 2 - 3 pads. If a pad's condition gets to very poor, the pad will stop producing food until it gets repaired. Maintaining a pad does not require any other resources. Plant pads must be maintained by a Biologist.If you would like to see a list of recipes that result in a Complex Meal, please see the Meals page.When GM Tomatoes are available, the ratio becomes 1:2.667, ie roughly three gm tomatoes for every eight wheat. Tomatoes and wheat should be planted in a 1:2 ratio, ie one tomato for every two wheat.Always have mixed meals to prevent malnutrition, pasta is a good, easy starter (tomatoes and wheat is a simple pasta recipe).
