This base finished with 6 modules and 6 corridor cells, including 1 greenhouse module, 1 water module and 0 utility modules. Connecting 100% of modules to the habitat is a clear layout strength: most installed equipment had a route into the base network. Protective modules accounted for 0% of module cost, leaving limited evidence of deliberate protection against a route or utility failure. The average geometric distance from a greenhouse to its nearest water module was 8 grid steps. A greenhouse-to-utility distance was unavailable because one module type was absent. 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 28.64, 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.
