Player base intake

looks like the base's are eating more of every thing just filled up Monday an Tuesday now reinforced alloy jump form 100k to 18k in 5 days. food an oxygen an water dropped for 75 k to 40 k .

In the moment my core 10 base use abt. 5000 food, water and oxygen per day (looks like the old standards).
Reinforced alloy up to abt. 9000 per day.

I tried to measure Reinforced Alloy and Hull Segments use on my Level 4 and Level 10 bases, respectively.

I found to my astonishment that both bases used these at the exact same rate.

Since HS is twice as costly as RA, and takes up twice the cargo space, I think it is not fair and it would be nice to change the use so that the bases use Hull Segments at half of the rate of Reinforced Alloy.

[Or, is it possible that a L10 base uses exactly twice as many repair commodities compared to a L4?]

What do you think?

As you can see, the consumption items are set for the minumum. Repair items are at 2 each and fuel is a little higher than it used to be to offset the low consumption items.

Unfortunately, there's n o way to set the limits per level, just overall.

OK thanks, I thought for some reason that it was level-dependent.

Funny though I did not know base crew would happily chew on alien organisms!

Hello together,

from time to time, I control the consumption of materials on my level 10 bases.

An example
June 14th: food, oxygene, water 2000 per day - reinforced alloy 3580 per day (this was a standard consumption)
August 3rd: food, oxygene, water 4000 per day - reinforced alloy 8512 per day 

Now it gets harder to feed the bases.

GC might have changed the timing used to determine the base consumption rates. It's 1 unit per timing unit. If the timing units were changed then it would use more, even though it's still 1 unit per timing unit. I'll see if I can find the info
