This base finished with 10 modules and 23 corridor cells, including 1 greenhouse module, 1 water module and 1 utility module. Only 70% of modules were connected to the habitat, so some installed equipment may not have been able to deliver its intended benefit. Protective modules accounted for 23% of module cost, showing a meaningful commitment to resilience, although this alone does not prove redundant delivery. The average geometric distance from a greenhouse to its nearest water module was 7 grid steps. The comparable distance to a utility module was 3 steps. Shorter distances can simplify a design, but distance alone does not show whether a corridor is connected, has enough flow capacity or survives a hazard.
The layout's weak point should be judged against what happened during operation: average water reserve was 25.8, and 1 crisis events were recorded. The water margin was less obviously constrained, but individual turns may still reveal a bottleneck. Compare the map with the operation and incident timelines to see whether a single corridor or utility was repeatedly stressed. In the next mission, retain the same crops and care settings while changing one connection or adding a backup route; compare delivered resources, harvests and crisis turns. This is a diagnosis of the simulated network and its observed outcomes, not proof that the same geometry would work on the Moon.
