Power requirements for gates

[Dead Hand]

What's the best stuff to bring to unlock a gateway past like the first 3 or 4? The power required seems to double between each one, and rn I feel like I need 4-5 fullsize generators for the next teleporter.

Go to Vesonia. Dig a mine. Harvest a bunch of Lithium. Make two silos full of batteries, that should get you 48. Then all you need is a platform, rover, or whatever at the gates to open them. Easy peasy. Otherwise, the Astroneer wiki lists the power requirments.

There's a few that take seemingly enormous amounts of power. Quite annoying, but the minority.

8 RTGs is enough to power every gateway in the game, and it's by far the easiest method of activating all of them. Alternatively you can get at least 10 medium batteries but you need a way to charge them, so I prefer to just get the RTGs. Then you just need a rover and a storage silo and you're set. Once you're done with a planet, package the rover, and store the silo on your shuttle.

This. However, I managed to power gates on Atrox with 7 RTGs and 2 small generators, so you can substitute some of those. Perhaps you could even go with 1 RTG and loads of Batteries - just wait for RTG to refill those before attempting to open the gate.

Vesonia. Fill a silo or two with batteries. Same footprint as an RTG. Make an RTG to recharge them and you're done. All I did was use a large shuttle and carried around a large rover with a bunch of fixins to open gates. You can land near half the gates anyway. Work smarter, not harder.
