The Alters: How to expand the base?
Expanding your base in The Alters will guarantee you more room slots and a larger organic tank. From the guide you will learn what are the requirements for expanding the main base and when it can be done.
Last update:
The limited size of the base is a problem that you will sooner or later face in The Alters. This guide page explains how to unlock the Base Expansion option and its Organics Tank. This is a very important step in planning the construction of additional rooms in the base.
How to unlock the Base Expansion option?
- When the game starts, your base is at level 1. It may prove to be insufficient over time, as the available space will quickly fill up with new important rooms.
- Base Expansion will become available for the first time after advancing to Qubit Level 2; this is a mechanic that we've described on the page: How to increase Qubit Level?.
- The research project list in the Research Laboratory should include the item Base Expansion. It's one of the more time-consuming ones to invent, but you should not postpone this project.
The next stages of Base Expansion can be unlocked in a similar fashion: just wait for the Qubit Level to increase again.
How to activate Base Expansion?
After completing the research, visit the Command Center and interact with the left terminal. Level 2 should already be available, but you need to pay for the expansion process; Metals and Minerals will be necessary here.
On the same screen, you will learn about the changes that will occur in your base:
- More slots for rooms - these are the purple slots in the base preview.
- A larger Organics Tank - this is useful not only for current expenses, but also when planning travels. As a reminder, you will then need to gather a supply of Organics which will correspond with the current Base Mass.
