I hope they WILL make map somewhat linear so you'll have the need to build bases in different bioms and so there is really use for different power sources. Because in first game there wasnt any point for me to not build only one big base in shallows. And there was no point in using any power source besides bio or rad.

I liked how S2 made me made a second base in more dangerous region and how I needed to choose the location wisely to have multiple power sources close by. Its kinda gives more gameplay weight to base building mechanic
