What's Draining My Base's Power in Subnautica?
Check if you have any fabricators, water filtration machines, or battery chargers running non-stop. Those suck power like a Reaper Leviathan on a fresh Seamoth!

Make sure all your spotlights and floodlights are off. They seem small, but they can drain your base's power over time!
Spoiler alert: Solar panels don鈥檛 work at night. Make sure you have enough bioreactors or thermal plants to keep the juice flowing.
In my experience, it鈥檚 usually those pesky water filtration machines. They鈥檙e super useful but also super power-hungry.
Power gets drained faster if you keep building stuff without upgrading your power sources. Check your power balance!
