secondary base with BCU

[Docdeath]

Single player and no hunters. So I have my main base on the west lake and want to build a second base next to the east lake. Will I be able to add a second BCU to this base in order to create solar panels , power storage containers, etc.. if i understand it correctly the second BCU links the the eqiptment together but would not create its own mass and energy. This would be done with a mass generator amd by solar, wind or regular generators.
Have I got that right ?

Yes you have it right.

Yup...you can also choose to turn the beacon off or on. For instance, I have a mining station on the border of obsidian and lithium, no beacon...just makes things too confusing.

Yes, You can have multiple bases/bcus, but only your main one will generate energy and mass automatically

in winter i always burn my extra meat and toss it into boxes i have on the ceiling , i have gotten a lot of mileage out of dumping said meat into mass recycler.
