exploring and second base?

[Sokurah]

I wanna keep exploring and dont really wanna come back to my first base every time.

Is that a good idea? Do they share power? There is no kind of power grid / connention in the game so its not really obvious.

[Coops]

Power is universal on the planet. Power units do not have to be close to a base.
A common strategy is to build mini bases everywhere to provide oxygen. You might want a main base to do crafting and store materials but multiple small bases in every biome is a rational thing to do.

I moved to a second main base now. Yea, there is no base power management in that regard. All bases chare the same energy which is kinda odd.

I already found out the best way to get around is just have a living compartment and door in your pocket :D

Yes! lol Always keep 3 iron, 2 titanium, and 1 silicon with you. This becomes a life saver when exploring so you don't have to keep more than 1 or 2 oxy bottles on you.

But yea have as many bases as you like, I have 4 mains ones I teleport between for different managements and operations.
As you get higher in the game you will see that multiple bases actually become super useful, and actually a blessing in some cases. Especially when you start experiencing resource overflow haha.

I#m about to expend my radius again. I already found a lot of wrecks and sulfur and Osmium.

But there is still a lot to see.

Out of curiosity why do you say it would be practical?

Personally I didn't continue until the last stage of the game but I still made good progress (I stopped a little before the amphibians), and I still have a single main base and that suits me well.
I have several compartments spread all over the place, I built them when I still needed 02 and I was exploring, I even started building a secondary base because I was tired of going back and forth ...but I stopped because I realized that it was ultimately not very useful. And since I unlocked the teleporters I find it even less useful knowing that we can quickly access almost any resource

I have two main bases built then about 5-8 mini spots for inventory storage. Main bases have a teleporter for easy moving back and fourth, When you get the reactors you'll have way to much power for everything you need and won't have any issues. START BUILDING!

You mean fusion reactor right? I have uranium reactors and cant really complain about too much engery tbh XD

I usually have 1 main base near the big lake (actually over it lol), and then I have one up on the north ridge above the Grand Rift where all my power suppliers, drills, and heaters go so they are out of site. And then a small one outside of the mushroom cave, and a small one near the waterfall.

Tip: Basic wind turbines work as great navigation markers while adding to your power grid. They are highly visible from a distance and are cheap to make.

Everyone has their own playstyle for what they use the multiple bases for, or may choose not to use multiple at all. For me I run multiple factory-like bases.

Each base I have has a small secondary purpose other than just being a home, such as one of my bases being an advance material facility designed to make circuit boards, fusion cells and various rods. I also have a farming area that has a large lake of fish/algae farms and it specializes in making various foods as well as crafting mutagens, another area I have is close to the Paradise because I found that the Paradise is a great place to find the 3 base insect larvae in higher chances of uncommon and rare, and I often go there if i need more rares (because you can essentially make uncommons and commons easily). And my last area is my main base where I ship and store everything to and from. Each place also has several trade rockets for shipping out excess boards, food, and other mats. (And of course each place has a drone station to make it easier for my drones to dip between bases, and a teleporter for me to visit easier.)
