I am assuming that you are talking about the install action from the rover from outside Laurion.
certain location-based actions are only saved while you are still at that location and if you leave the location they reset. In my experience the green ones reset if you leave the location. Also…I’d pull a power cell, power up Laurion, park the rover, and then install the generator instead.
over time it would take more time to cycle in and out than it would to bring it in because then you don’t have to enter/exit the rover, it just is in there. I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the water and air, they are absolutely limiting factors that you MUST have a source of.
have you finished all of Astrape? Once you fix the power problems (I can consistently get that after my tenth or so visit) you won’t need to worry about it at all.
In regards to the question about the trips. You would need to make multiple trips and you would have to unload the tram at the far end.
Nonetheless I can’t argue about those features being helpful.
this is true, there is double no point because movement actions are reset when you change location…unlike resource actions like install/uninstall power cells
As far as I’m aware (bear in mind that I kinda blundered through it as well) the power surges really only affect things like the admin comp and the water recycler. Makes it harder to get it done but doesn’t stop you directly.
perhaps a better solution is just to pause when water gets down to one for any action? Then you have the ability to recover regardless of cooldowns, and it can save you in other circumstances as well.
I love the timers for resources, so nice to have it right there. However…they do not account to certain resources being prohibited in priorities. The timer should only take into account resources which are allowed.
sooo. I just played through on a new save and I noticed that the ‘scavenge’ actions for food and water are now ‘persistant’, with each one unlocking a ‘take’ food/water action. I’m wondering if because of your old save they are now not available because of the persistance and you not having done them means that they never unlocked the repeatable ones. As for the recycler… I have no idea.
A couple of QOL feature that I think would go down a treat.
Resource impacts (like rover leakage, solar panels, or Lauion’s power drain) which are not currently active for any reason (like being inside) still be displayed as ‘inactive’ or something to make it clear that no, you are not going insane (though it’s also possible you are), they still exist, it’s just that they are not doing anything right now.
And maybe be able to clear all the ‘new’ actions by clicking on that annoying little flashing button at the top?
Something I noticed after the last update (note I’m playing on mobile on itch) is that it is harder to click on the X to cancel actions than it was before. I don’t know if it’s just me or something you changed.
it does appear that it is something corrupted in your save. Which is unfortunate because mine from before the update seems fine. are you saving locally or are you saving by exporting and then importing it back in? * have you tried loading your save in an older version?*
ah right, forgot about that. If you load the generator but don’t install it you can unload it at Laurion. Then you can generate power at Laurion and you still get the recycler
I am guessing about what might be going on depending on how long you take to get to the dam there is an event that changes some of the locations at ~20 minutes into the run so that might be what’s going on. More likely is that you are getting there after the dam closes (thus allowing you to cross) and then opens again (locking the dam crossing if you haven’t made it across in any loop… I think, I haven’t actually been there for that long, like, ever). I think this happens at like, 15-18 minutes or something. Alternatively…you’re on the wrong version?
I found another bug. You can’t install the motors onto the rover at Santorini Central from the Tram.
more fun stuff just happened.
huh, I don’t have any of these problems, tried a run without the generator, with the panels, and I still have it 
What does your map look like?
