| Description | Harness excess power for later use. |
| Fragments Required | 2 |
The Fallback Power Storage is an Interior Facility used to store excess energy to release at a later point.
Recipe
The blueprint for the Power Storage can be unlocked by scanning two fragments. The locations of fragments can be found in the Fragments section below.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Germanium Ingot | 1 |
| Titanium | 3 |
| Salt | 2 |
Crafted using the Habitat Builder.
Purpose
The Power Storage automatically stores excess energy as long as the Seabase it is constructed inside of has a higher power gain than consumption. If power consumption of a Seabase exceeds the power gain, energy from the Power Storage will start being used.
It can be manually toggled between Enabled and Disabled by interacting with the holographic display on it.
- While Enabled, the Power Storage will provide energy stored in its supply to the Seabase when required.
- While Disabled, the Power Storage will not provide energy to the Seabase, however, it will continue to charge while excess energy is available.
Fragments
Two fragments are required to unlock the blueprint. They can be found at the following locations:

Databank Entry
Power Capacitor
The IEEE 180-compliant "Fallback" power storage allows a habitat to bank power for use in the event of a shortage. Shortages may occur when the sun sets, fuel runs out, new systems are installed without proper planning, or even as a result of damage-but whatever the cause, the Fallback will keep the habitat operational until its own batteries are depleted.
- Automatically stores excess power
- Activates during a power shortfall; may deplete rapidly if the shortfall is large
- Adding more power storages increases the time the habitat can operate without power
Power storage is one of the most dangerous elements of pioneer habitats. Practice safe habits: do not test unapproved tools on or near the power supply. Separate living quarters and work spaces from power storage to avoid catastrophic ruptures and thermal runaway of power storages or pioneers.
