BTW, it is possible to let your Marstruck (and later Rover) battery module(s) be charged in the battery rack... besides one row of suit batteries, there is space for 4 vehicle battery modules. So if you like, you don't have to connect vehicles by cable, and you can even have spare battery(es)... range extended, if you take charged spare with you...
Hm, are you aware that Sabatier module (well extension) decreases the water production? Making oxygen this way is quite ineffective... just ONE Scrubber produces more (and as side effect, fill your CO2 bottles, too). Oxygen produced by sabatier is only needed to refill Rover (or Jetpact) and quite small amount at that (5hr production of 1 module enough for refilling Rover)... Normally, you don't need more than 1 extension module.
Im losing a tiny bit of water and increased my ocygen production for minor power cost, and not taking up any more of the 8 machine slots i have. The one scrubber wasnt working fast enough for me, and i dont need the water
@@tristint.4857 OK then, but you need 4 Sabatiers to replace one Scrubber (if scrubber is tuned, then that icreases to 5.5 times). Sabatier modules need power too, each 5kW (one Scrubber around 10kW depending upon setting). Thus, power-wise you are loosing, too. Truth is, Scrubber takes one position inside building, normally that is no problem but if you for some reason can't build another building, then you have reason to do it away...
One medium solar panel makes 30 power without upgrades, which is 6 sabatiers. Hardly any inconvenience at all, specially with that much water being produced at the reduced still being much more than i need for a long while.
@@tristint.4857 OK, later one day you will reach the limit given by you water "field" which is something like 60l/hour of H2O, maybe then you change opinion... but that is some dozen episodes far in future... Then you maybe reduce Sabatiers to one (totally, not "per") and one Scrubber... nothing more necessary. Proven many times, by many players, some of them youtubers.

Ya, spmeone mentioned this and ive used it now.

By then i will have found a place with 2 or 3 close water fields to build near.
