So I guess the construction crews just 'turn off' the air system when they are expanding the base. For some reason, it never occurred to me that it was due to the fact the same amount of air suddenly had more space to fill... I part of me was thinking they were wasting air or something... (cue face palm...)
At least they apparently don't eat up the food, or use up water, oxygen or fuel during the expansion work...
For the score thing, the main concern is my score dropping from 94 to 80 in just the span of a what seemed to be just few minutes, after completing the work orders for Phase 2.
I did find it interesting with the 100 on Phase 1 with me dropping the ball and being stuck inside several minutes due to a storm. I had pumps and air scrubber parts inside, so I didn't exactly get the initial 'supply chain' going past water...
Would having eaten/drinking nothing, and having diverted a few gallons of water to the water tank, have been a factor for knocking the score out of whack?
Hopefully the log I provided helps shed light on stuff.
When I was on the hill with the radio tower, I didn't have much luck spotting any other way up/down, so I will have to double check the west side the next time I get over that way.
Will the score issues possibly carry on into later stages?
Would it be safe for me to just start over again since I only got the first 2 phases done?
