The Base Scanner allows you to look at many different aspects of the current and past performance of your base. Placing it in a room will give you an unfiltered view of all of the base data. This is generally not very useful, however.
Placing a Storage Hopper into the Holo area will allow you to filter the graph. The rules are straightforward; if you want to see something, put something related in the Storage Hopper.
- Any PSB will filter out total Base Power.
- Any Ore or Bar will filter out only that type of resource.
- A Refined Liquid Resin will allow you to monitor your Resin Handling and Farming setups.
- BioMass, Crystal and Coal will also filter the appropriate types.
The Base Efficiency refers to the ratio of Ores to Bars created; if it's greater than 100%, you're not collecting enough Ore; if it's less than 100%, you're not Smelting enough bars.
