Base 5 Layout
Spoilers ahead for how far you can go, depending on how many Reinforces you’ve done:
- In Reinforce 1 (R1 for short), you only need to get the research upgrade, then ignore this base until you reach R2.
- You get all slots unlocked very late in R3.
Setups
Important note: You can replace the parts with components in any of the setups below to get some components.
Early on, you’ll start with this to unlock the 2000 mats slots.
Now that they’re unlocked, you can start getting some parts.
Another slot unlocked next to the part, so we can put a Drain Reducer next to it.
This setup below is when you can start using boosters.
Boosters get even better here, because now you can boost the same slot with 2 boosters, like so.
Parts get moved a bit to make use of the boosters.
This one focuses purely on mats income.
And this one focuses more on parts income.
Now you can boost the same slot with 3 boosters like this for mats.
And here’s a slightly different setup, with some parts income. You can copy the bottom-right portion of the setup and put it in the top-left portion of the base, if you want more parts income.
Now that you have all slots unlocked, there are 2 more slots that can be boosted by 3 boosters! You can use them like this for mats.
As for getting some parts income, you can use this setup. As usual, you can copy the bottom-right portion and put it in the top-left portion, if you want to.
