Upgrading ATC

[5th Metal]

I've have 4 researches in this so far, just got level 4. And My max size area to build in is exactly the same... what exactly does it do if not increase the build area?

[FearParable]

It increases the size. note it doesnt always increase the size length and width at the same time. one may extend it forward and back 1 tile. next will make it wider.

[5th Metal]

Thank you for your reply. I was maxed out before the upgrade. I then tried to place a utility tile on any of the sides and all of the sides are still maxed out. Is it possible it only increased by a small tile?

[Surreal]

iv always had a standard tile size increase on either length or width. Try relogging to see if its just graphical?

When I researched a new ATC I got a button on the hangar screen to upgrade it and then a cutscene played to show my outpost. Did that play for you? Maybe you have to talk to the hangar guy instead of opening the construction screen via the top bar in the map screen?

[5th Metal]

Yes, thank you. I needed to exist the game and go back in and I got one tile in front and one in the back as expansion. Thank you for your replies

I think it expands the space in your tour mode tower container as well...

The tower container size is increased with the Core Output stat of your base which is boosted with Small Generators and Generic panels the easiest early game.

It's both

Utility does 3 amplify core and Generic does 2. I always did generic for the double battery mount option. Utility is also used quite a lot to mount the generators as well.

One battery on each side.
However, Once you unlock pillars, place three pillars in a line and you can mount 6 batteries on them, using the same space as a one wall pannel
