I guess I am stupid, but the new PoBs seem overcomplicated, and expensive to run, I still don't even understand hydroponics bay, had to ask 7 times what the commands are and lost 15% of HP because of a mistake.
This is before I figure out what they are even used for properly - it's confusing now that refined stuff on NPC bases is a thing.
TL;DR - am I the only one still confused about PoBs and econ around PoBs, routes, and commands? if you are a new player who came in after the patch, is this straightforward to you?
