Optimizing Base Electricity | No Man's Sky Power & Logic Guide

In this No Man’s Sky guide, Beeblebum shares how to optimize your base electricity using smart power and logic systems. Learn energy-saving techniques, like using proximity switches to activate teleporters only when you're near and setting up day/night switches to automatically control lights. We also dive into creative uses for pressure plates, perfect for hidden puzzle builds and other interactive base features. As a bonus, you'll discover how to perfectly align your power blocks without glitching. Maximize efficiency and take your base power setups to the next level!

Dude, these videos are amazing. Half the stuff I never knew about and I have been playing for over 1,600 hours. Thank you. I am going to finally try and build something, as building was never my strong point, though now, with these tips, that will change.

[@nufinul]

I never figured out how to use proximity switches, thanx a lot!❤

[@lobby76_]

Never tought of using the power like this. This opens a lot of potential for making a mood in the base! Cheers!! 👊

[@michael_janus]

Did you know that with those switches you can build all kinds of logic gates and make a really smart base? :)

[@geminus1688]

I never thought about using the solar panel as a switch or hiding the floor switch. More great ideas! I'm glad you're revisiting/updating the guides. They refresh my memory of what is possible. Thanks!

[@adambfree]

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm astonished at the complexity this game allows. Your guides are so useful!

[@Luca_Natoli]

Energy saving tips. I did not know we could save energy, now I don't need to build so many batteries to run everything. Thank you kind sir.

[@Atomicdog-space]

I’m always stumped on what I can do with the switches besides the button this helps a lot in making sections of your base light up in different ways thank you

[@chriswilliams1096]

Haha! I didn't realise the the solar panel did not need to be open to the sky to generate power. The explanation of how the switches work was very useful.

[@VonDrinkoften]

Awesome tips on using the various switches. Something that I have never really experimented with before after several years but will definitely be incorporating in all of my future base builds. Cheers!

[@Peteorama]

That's a brilliant idea to use a solar panel as a daylight sensor! Very cool, thanks Beebs

[@DarkZed89]

Thanks for these tipps and ideas. For the teleporter i always use the pressure plate, but i wondered how to make it look better and will try your idea now👍 and the night-day-switch is greqttoo, never thought about this 👍

[@tonybossaller4074]

I have a “default” base I build typically. The Cylindrical Room has spots inside for eight devices. I’ll usually start with three rooms stacked. Add ladders, go up to the top, install a landing pad, then fill with windows, six solar panels and two batteries. Then go down a floor and repeat. (And depending on planet, I may throw a bunch others in too.) and then on the ground floor, I’ll usually put a teleporter, one solar panel, one battery, a save point. Then on the landing pad, put the other Teleporter end and the Portal. Maybe a save beacon (so others can find) and a trading wall machine. Then go back down and save and upload the base and move on. Most of my bases are labelled 0.0,0.0 as they are usually on the closest system to the center at the largest planet at those coords. Only gotten through the first 10 galaxies though. Still a ways to go. End goal is to some day have a base on every (possible) system.

[@LarsV62]

As others said, I never had the idea to use a solar panel as a switch. Also, I did not know pressure plates could act as close proximity non-contact switches. Thanks for these tips!

[@ballachris19888]

I love your videos so much, I've learned a lot of tricks from them, information videos like this make a lot of difference to the gaming experience.

[@ChodaBoyUSA]

I appreciate these videos. Thanks, Beebs.

[@shmayazuggot8558]

Great tips, cuboid rooms also use very little energy. High efficiency!

[@StyxAnnihilator]

Nice tips! For teleporter I mostly use a button, so it turns on a couple of seconds, since power is needed to access the menu only.

[@seriousleesgaming3042]

I will pay any amount of power to avoid ever seeing an unpowered teleporter. They are just so ugly with that awful red power icon, blech! lol. I do love the daylight sensor concept, less to conserve power and more for aesthetics, but it's a great idea.

[@michael_janus]

Sometimes it's unavoidable. Some ideas like stacking teleporters in the recent Beebs' video just mean you have to turn them off according to the logic that you are implementing.

[@seriousleesgaming3042]

@@michael_janus I should clarify I mean Base Terminus Teleporters, not short range teleporters I guess. They'd make a cool building element unpowered if it weren't for that icon, but with it an unpowered teleporter just makes your base look abandoned.

[@michael_janus]

@@seriousleesgaming3042 Base terminus is noisy tho. On tranquil bases it makes sense to hide it in some room so it won't be visible and then turn off.

[@geminus1688]

I totally agree on that. I always cross my fingers when I see a dead teleporter that there is a proximity switch or at least a biofuel reactor. Expedition bases especially.

[@amiiranamastii5306]

@@michael_janusyessssss that drone really gets on my nerves 😅

[@toedancer1148]

Thanks, I have not been able to understand this and at last someone that goes slow enough so I can keep up. I want to make a desk top aquarium, just in case your looking for ideas. 🙃

[@daviller74]

These are my favorite videos of yours, and always seem to have me redesigning things constantly as I learn. I am working on a puzzle base now, do you have any that you recommend for ideas and just to see for fun?

[@loki_3545]

Haven't watched the vid yet. At work. The best way I found to light areas is the use of the cuboid roof part. Set a wire frame. Glitch to points. Done. Light with no electricity requirement. Lol

[@floroluiz]

Very good and cool, fantastic, congratulation friend,

[@dif1982]

Nice! Can u make a video showing case a door with temporizer, where there a lights like a v-meter, when the all lights turn on, another light or light cube turn on and open the door. When the door is locked, the red light is turn on, when the door is ready to open, the light is green. This is like a air lock pressure door. i think this is a good content for a video!!

[@michael_janus]

Arranging solar panels with cubes is pretty neat. i didn't know they snap like this. Why remove cubes tho? They look cool and provide free wiring. But I always use geomagnetic gens. Solar panels only charge batteries during day and battery status is not saved. So if you TP to the system at night all batteries are empty. Using solar battery as a daylight sensor is brilliant, no less. P.S. Did you know, that floor panels react on everything that moves including balls and wild creatures while a proximity sensor can only be triggered by players?

[@perisemiotics3204]

Very cool. I never dabbled in the power gadget selection but will try a couple things now, mainly a power door. Looking forward to the Glitch videos.

[@TLovesIceTea]

I just want to comment so: How are you today Beebs

[@_Caspergers_]

omg I'm sorry for the autistic question, but I've been binging your videos and I have to ask. What is your accent? I keep thinking Icelandic, but I can't figure it out lol Keep up the awesome work :D

[@amiiranamastii5306]

slightly unrelated question: what’s that big ring asset you’ve got over your existing teleporters there? looks fancy, so brutalist

[@amiiranamastii5306]

aaaargh 🥰💕🙌👏 you’ve just solved my biggest gripe in base building!! i haaaaate messy solar panel grids but struggle so damn much arranging them neatly. this is such a neat (literally 😂) idea, thank you! you sir are a scholar and a gentleman

[@narlybeachcomber7086]

Very cool ideas!! Love the "natural" way the lights go on and off as if one was actually living there. NICE!

[@D0NU75]

we need more tutorials with switches, man if they are overlooked

[@martymerrick530]

Fantastic video Beebs!
