Or is it a one time thing? And question two. Is it better to have a lot of one of those types of commodities or better to split evenly between all three??
Your Base will consume 8640 units of Reinforced Alloy (RA) per 24 hours. If the RA is not available then it will use Robotic Hardware (RH) and if that is also then not available then it will use Hull Segments (HS).
So, as long as you supply RA, to your Base, then this will be the only Commodity, other than Food, Oxygen and Water (FOW), that it will require.
IF your Base is attacked then every 20 seconds it checks its damage status. It will first use 2 RA to repair 60,000 HPs of damage. If the Base is still damaged then it will use 2 RH to repair 60,000 HPs of damage and if the Base is still damaged then it will use 2 HS to repair the next 60,000 HPs of damage.
The Level of your Base depends how many times it goes through this cycle every 20 seconds ie.
Level 1 Base with all 3 Repair Materials can repair 180,000 HPs of damage per 20 seconds whereas:
Level 4 Base with all 3 Repair Materials can repair 720,000 HPs of damage per 20 seconds.
So to answer your questions:
1) Other than FOW, RA is the only Commodity that you will need to constantly supply to your Base (8640 per day)
2) Better to have a mix of the 3, but more of the RA as this is the first commodity consumed.
