Tier 3 Solar Panels, please?
Okay, so, I've hit a bit of a roadblock in progression. Power. It's really hard to supply power to a base and terraforming equipment without an absolutely obscene amount of solar panels. I'm a bit reluctant to use more than one nuclear reactor, since there's a very limited amount of Uranium in the game (that I've found so far), and I'm trying to save those for terraforming rockets. So some tier 3 solar panels would be welcome. (PS. I would also love if it could be easier to put tier 2 solar panels up next to one another. If I have to have a lot of them, I at least want them to look neat.)

Also; AUTORUN button, please! Z or R, maybe?

Just build nuclear reactors. One of the rockets causes meteors that drop iridium, and one of the others causes meteors that drop uranium. So just alternate between them and you will have all the uranium you could ever want.

First off, I agree about placing objects. It's hard to tell if they are clipping into each other when placing them.

Once you can place a launch platform, do so. This will allow you to get some of the rarer resources. After that, only brain farts will let you run out some of those harder to get ones.

How much stuff did you build? I was able to power my entire base off of only 22 T2 Solars until I had the ability to call down uranium with the rockets.

If you went overboard with building, then adding another tier of solar panels isn't going to fix your issue. Only build what your supply can handle, that's why you're given a monitor to see how much power you're generating and using.

As far as lining things up, try using the foundations to help. They are cheap and easy to guide off of.

I'm running 6 Nuclear Reactor T2 and a Nuclear Fusion Generator... I literally don't think I could possibly run out of power at this point. I'm using about 2000 kw/h out of 3850 available, and my issue is that I just don't have enough aluminium/super alloy to really build anything else. I had about 20 T2 Solar Panels until I could build the nuclear generators, it was fine.

Just wait, I've got nearly 6700 consumed currently. 10 T2 Nukes an 2 Fusions. I can't decide between going the easy route and building another Fusion, or saving my Zeolite for more T3 tree spreaders, which would be more work getting nukes, but ultimately give me more GTi/second potential.

I would at least make one or two Fusion reactors zeolite is a little rare right now but there will be updates and I guarantee you there will be more

I am a Community helper on Discord and I have beta tested this game so that I know that there will be some cool stuff coming

Set up 1 or 2 t1 miners at the Aluminum Biome. It will collect Aluminum (along with other basic mats). Stop by every so often and check on them, or build a small one or two room base with food and water and just wait.

once you get access to the T2 miner you can place down miners in super alloy, iridium and uranium mines, you will be rolling in what you need to spam reactors

Zeolite starts spawning after a certain point, and becomes plentiful. I have a locker full.
