How should I upgrade my control?

I've maxed out my control limit with 1 Mainframe and 4 Databases in my control room. I currently have 7 Telepads with 2 beacons each. My control consumption is 255 out of 250.

I'd like to add another Telepad, 2 Beacons, a Personal Storage Vault, and a Basic Reclaimator. So it looks like I need at least 75 or so more control points.

Which control upgrade should I go with?

I am at 820 out of 1300 Energy from my Basic Generator and two Circuit Breakers if that matters at all.

You'll need a supercomputer.

The alternative is to give yourself a bigger control room. The AUX limit is partially imposed by the room size. The basic control main can have 9 AUX attached to it ... but the 2x2 control room only allows up to 4 AUX to be in the room with the main control item.

Bigger control room ... more AUX items ... more control.

Or you can just upgrade to the Supercomputer ...

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Hmm, with a Supercomputer, I would be seriously short on energy...is there a better option?

[Edit] Unfortunately a bigger room is not an option with my base design. So it looks like I'll have to go with the Supercomputer and upgrade my energy as well.

Or change to a 1x4 control room and add +2 databases. This would produce +100 control. This would put you nearer to the supercomputer's price (mainframe+6 databases is 150,000 less than a supercomputer).

The plot upgrade is cheap, and rent is based on other factors than plot size, so putting in a 1x4 control room should be easy enough.

A main energy device (Power Crystal / Basic Generator) + 2 energy aux (Crystal Focus / Circuit Breaker) provides enough power (1,300 energy) for a supercomputer, 11 telepads, 21 beacons, a couple of invention tables and a Salvage Vault.

Take a look at this base:

It has 10 telepads, 20 beacons, a supercomputer, and some other stuff requiring power. 1 Energy main+1 aux was enough to keep it all powered.

Ah, yes, I was figuring an additional 500 energy (on top of the 820 I am currently using) for the supercomputer, and not deducting the saved energy by selling my current control items.
