A few questions

[Natjur]

(1) Hungry is a bar filled by what I eat (stomach) but Hydration is linked to a bottle, so as soon as I swap it out, I am instantly needing water. Would make more sense to 'drink' just like you eat to fill your stomach (and have the bottle auto drink from to fill stomach) instead of swapping in an empty water bottle means damage starting while you go 'fill it'
This planning to change?

(2) Sabatier Reactor, does it use any water? It appears to just give free O2/Methane without using any water, can't see the down side of having two of theses per well beside the power? Am I reading this wrong? Is it using water?

(3) Lobby has room for wardrobe and refrigerator but I can't seen to place anything else where. What do you guys use it for?

(4) Canteen seems to have no use, since I keep my Food Processing Use and refrigerator on the spare walls in the Greenhouse. Is this just 'reserved' for later, or just spam storage units on the walls?

(5) When you open the map and clink on Radiation, it shows the Main Hab/HQ has the most radiation protection, but I did not notice any damage in solar storms in the other parts of the base.

(6) Where do you make robot (like the dog I saw in the early part of the campaign)

(7) Level 2 of the Main Hab/HQ is where I store all the different workstations (since there are so many) but some of them do not clip in right. Anyone got all the workstations fitting there?

(8) Would love a way to swap some walls out with Windows to give some view in some rooms. Is this an option already and I am doing it wrong? or something that might come?

(9) Making 'better' seeds, is there a cap on how far you can improve them?

(10) Any mini-map upgrades on vehicles (or is it just stop, and hit M every now and then?)
Is there a way to put way points (so you know where your base in and can just follow the marker back)

Love the jetpack, this seems to be the best way to get around :) But easy to get lost, mini map or waypoints would save the day and did I just miss that option?

(11) Where can I see how much a vertical tank vs horizontal tank stores?

(12) Solar panels need to be cleaned after a sand storm, do wind turbines need any maintenance? (sure they only make 6 vs 42 energy, but they are cheap to spam them)

2) It consumes water. If you don't provide additional power to a Well, its Sabatier isn't active and you still get 6l/hr water but you should lose 2l/hr to an active Oxygen and 1l/hr to an active Methane Sabatier.

3) That's it. If it wasn't for the wardrobe nobody would ever make a Lobby, it's a dead loss.

4) Canteen had a unique use in past versions in that it was the only place inside that had a power outlet to charge your suit. With that replaced by the Battery Rack, the room is a bit useless now. Future additions like NPCs and missions/quests/contracts might have it serve a purpose again.

6) Not present in the game yet, that will have to wait for a future update.

8) Not a current option, I was thinking a cupola-style unit that fits to the same attach point as the airlocks would be neat.

9) Not sure but I have taken potatoes beyond 50% bonus on each.

10) No in-vehicle map, that's a bit of a pain. You can set three of your map bookmarks to be each of red or green or yellow marker colour. That will appear in your helmet HUD all the time, including while enjoying the Jetpack. Normally when you build your first Workshop the game will set a green marker on that automatically, but you can modify any bookmark. The game is sorely lacking a Map / Radar tutorial. The "to list" / "from list" functionality is pretty cryptic too.

11) On the map screen, use the water drop icon on the left to select water info and click on the tank you want to query. There's no way to tell its capacity or fill level without using the map, and as best I'm aware no indication of the capacity of any of the different tank types before you build one.

Thank you the info

Maybe my wells are bugged
The water only ones show they are getting 6 litres of water an hour

My ones with 1 Sabatier Reactor attached (and 1 large wind turbine for power) show
6 litres of water an hour and 2 litres of o2

My ones with 2 Sabatier Reactor attached (each side) show (large solar)
6 litres of water an hour and 4 litres of 2

So for some reason, they do not appear to be using any water. Anyone else have this bug?

I don't think the saber reactor uses water unless there is a tank on top and its kinda hard to tell what is going on maybe fill up your oxygen bottle and see if water level goes down, because there is only so munch room for both water and oxygen in the well, plus each water source is different some have higher refresh rates than others. In order to loose water with the saberactor I think you have to actually use the oxygen, the tanks you can add to the well and reactor act as extended compacity for the the well.

Each well I have has vertical tanks directly connected to it, and all 15 wells then connect via pumps to large horizontal tanks. It appears each pump is outputting at exactly 6 letters per hour (with Sabatier Reactors attached or not) and based on the pumps, each is still giving 2 litres of o2 per Sabatier Reactors, so for me, they appear to be free (water dropping from 6 to 4 or 2 is what I expected, but for me, I am still getting the full 6)
The water spot recovers at 89 litres per hour

Must be a bug, all good

I never really tried the Sabereactor because I am trying to see if a more free source of oxygen can be used using plants.

I use it just for adding O2 to the Rover and refuel the Jetpack (which way better for getting around the map)
