ALIEN CONTAINMENT UNIT

what tablet(s) do i need for the alien containment unit, and how many (of each)?

The main thing is you need TWO Blue ones. But there is only one in the game, you need to craft the second one. You'll need a fabricator handy for another thing too.

Top reason why "I'll just walk all the way with the prawn!" turns into a ♥♥♥♥ block without using foreknowledge to craft/prep outposts for crafting ahead of time.

The portal to mountain island in the containment unit is past the second blue tablet gate, so welp! U turn back to the lava castle at minimum otherwise if you didn't bring the cyclops or build a closer base (The side portals are all to the random middle of of nowhere caches).

Yes, just two blue ones for the last base.

Though if you have not unlocked the blye one yet, you'll need purple ones back in the Thermal plant to open the room that has the blue tablet, and unlock Ion battery blueprints.

Not strictly tablet related unless you are out of ion cubes to craft a second Blue, but the first main room of the last base provides infinite ion crystals to drill up.... slowly, 3 cubes at a time.

If you are talking about getting the blueprint to build the Alien Containment for your base, you don't need any tablets. You just need to explore all the Degasi sites and eventually you'll find a PDA that activates a beacon to one of their deep-cavern bases with Alien Containment that you can scan for the full blueprint.

Even without the beacon, you'll know you're in the right place because your PDA will announce: "This area contains a large concentration of titanium...something something." Or something to that effect.

Nah, I've finished the game. I think you mean Primary Containment Facility in this case. Good luck.
