How to power your base
Choose a base site with reliable access to power components, build only the modules you can support, and keep batteries or fuel materials sorted near the crafting area. A powered base should shorten routes, recharge tools, and support storage before it becomes decorative.
Power planning checklist
Confirm the current power source recipe, build near repeatable resources, leave room for terminals, and test whether your base still functions after adding windows, rooms, or vehicle support. If a route depends on one powered outpost, keep repair supplies nearby.
Co-op power rules
Agree before expanding. One player adding rooms while another drains batteries can break the loop quickly, so call out power changes before major builds.
