Building systems overview

Buildings are not isolated objects. Each one belongs to a base system: living, storage, power, pipes, farming, industry, automation, or exploration support.

Base structures

Doors, ladders, storage, blocks, plates, grates, and supports shape movement, storage, heat transfer, and fluid separation.

Power

Generators, batteries, wires, switches, and turbines must be planned around peak load and survival priority. Pumps, oxygen, and food machines should not lose power because of optional loads.

Pipes

Gas, liquid, and solid transport need clear direction, filtering, bypasses, and maintenance space.

Automation

Start simple: stop when full, start when empty, cut power when hot, and filter wrong materials away from the main line.
