Why is my base producing less than the amount of activity suggests?

Direct answer

Measure one complete output from input gathering to finished storage. The constraint may be power, transfer, storage, processing time, placement, or player intervention. Improve the verified slowest stage before expanding the whole facility.

Decision signal	What to verify	Next move
Inputs are abundant	Check where materials wait	Improve transport or processing rather than gathering
Power is unstable	Map consumers and peak load	Protect the production line that serves the next goal
Manual work dominates	Count repeated player interventions	Simplify the highest-attention step

Decision checklist

Choose one finished resource to measure
Map every stage from input to final storage
Record power, storage, processing, and manual delays
Change only the slowest verified stage
Compare total output over the same period

Stop and recheck when

Do not expand while the current bottleneck is unknown
Reverse changes that move congestion without increasing finished output

Common mistakes

Adding more inputs to a blocked processor
Expanding storage without improving transfer
Changing power and layout together before measuring
