Again, Speed 3 is a last resort for quick getaways (or a quick boost of speed for long distance travels) and by the time you reach an overheating state you'll most likely have gotten away from whatever was attacking you, because stuff usually has the attention span of a sack of bricks. And the more persistent threats can be Stasis Rifled and Knifed to death.



If you're in an area that has hostile threats about, you might as well just use Speed 1, which is ideal for traversing the deeper biomes, like the Lost River. Produces much less noise as well.

Silent Running drains more power but that pretty much eliminates noise altogether.

While it's true that the indoor growbed takes up a fair amount of space, that's why I don't use them; I use the plantpots instead. Two for Chinese Potatoes (nutrition), two for Bulbo Trees (water), and one for Marble melons (both; an emergency supply in case the Bulbos and the Potatoes haven't grown). The idea is that you have to make use of the space you've got. I keep a bed in front of the Decoy Tube to pass time if it's night or to force base processes to progress quickly.
