Very basic question

I've never messed with base building or design, but this morning I was doing a little work on one of the SG bases I've inherited, and I can't figure out why I cannot access the vault I added to the base.

As I understand it, base vaults connect to the other Vaults in PC, but for some reason I can't open the one in my base; I can't get the blue hand of access to appear. Is there something else I have to add to the base to allow access to the vault?

You just need sufficient control and power.

If you have both, perhaps the access permissions for your SG are wonky?

It could be a matter of having your Rent paid up as well. If the Rent isn't paid you have no power and then can not access anything (I think.)

Or if the Blue Hand is not showing up it could just be where your hero is positioned.


Enjoy your day please.

This is true, however, i believe that if rent isnt paid for a long time, you can not even enter the SG base, until it is paid. So if your able to enter, this may not be the case. but i cant be 100% sure on this.

Im leaning toward the idea that you do not have enough power or control in your base.

If you go without paying your rent for more than 2 weeks after the due date, the power gets shut off. I believe another two weeks, then you lose access to your base entirely.

Be warned that there is also a bug with long overdue rent, even though it's been brought up to date, power may not be restored and a GM has to be brought in to resolve the issue.

OK, thanks all.

I guess the next dumb question is, how do I increase the base's power?

Ok to get more power you need to buy the add ons for your initial power supply. For Tech they are Circuit breakers and the arcane is called Crystal Focus.

You also need to make sure you are using a room that accepts these. If you are still using the initial combo Power/Control device I don't think they attach.

Be careful about your Control lvls as you add more power. More Power means you need more Control. More Control means you need more Power.

Silly silly viscious circle. Hope that all makes sense. If not, wait 3 minutes and someone else will come along that can explain it better.


Enjoy your day please.

If all he has is the combo unit then the auxillaries won't do anything. He'll need a main power item and then he can add auxillary items. The same goes for the main control unit. Both, of course, need rooms that will take them. Going from combo unit up to the next level is quite expensive for the small sg.

The Personal Storage Vault needs 5 Control and 5 Energy. Do you currently have any Control or Energy generators already?

If not, you can use the Combo Power and Control Unit, which is the starter item for new super-bases. The unit produces 125 Energy and 75 Control, which can power a few things.

The combo unit can only go into an Oversight Center.

Cost for both room and unit is 75000 Prestige total.

If you need more Energy or Control than that, you need to first place an Energy or Control room as appropriate. Note that the Oversight Center is no good in this case, as it can ONLY take a Combo Power and Control Unit.

After the room is placed, you need an Energy or Control main generator. You can supplement with Auxilary Items if needed.

That did the trick, thanks!
