They fixed a lot of issues. I know when the filtration system was first put in the power draw was obsenely immense. To the point people were building many power plants just to keep the filtration systems from sucking the base dry. And I am pretty sure when the Scanning Room was also intorduced it had the same issues. But now the power draw on both seems a lot more reasonable. My main base is 100m or so down next the grass/plain biome and with a bioreactor and two solar panels have little issues (Pot with lantern fruit tree next to the bioreactor to "feed" it.) .I only get power issues if I leave the scanning room on during the night, but usually whatever draw happens at night gets quickly replaced by the solar panels during the day.

What I want to know is does the matter put in the bioreactor get consumed? Because I would gather stalker eggs all day, grow them in alien containment, and jam them in the bioractor for nearly infinite power. Heck I'd even go so far as to get Crabsquid eggs because F those things...
