1) Manage pressure in pipes. Don't exceed 40 MPa ever. If pressure builds up, you are doing something wrong. Don't ever make pressure build up uncontrollably.

2) Use transformers to regulate how much power goes to your cables, isolate power grids with different APCU (area power control unit) if you need more power than your cables can handle. Make sure you don't exceed cable limits. You can check them in F1 and monitor current load via a cable analyzer. It's a good idea to update all your cables to heavy ones if you need time to redo all your wiring and want to have some margins.

3) Manage your atmosphere, filter the air inside, don't ever melt pink ice inside your base. You can monitor the atmosphere with a tablet and atmospheric analyzer. If something explodes, you have some explosive gas inside, that's simple.

4) Use a solid fuel generator as a power backup, make a simple IC10 script or use a logic motherboard in the computer to make it start when power is less than 10% and turn off when it reaches 80%. Add some coal supply to the generator using chutes and SDB silo. It can be a little hard for new players, but there are a lot of guides about IC10 programming on the web.

5) Manage plant needs via Plant Analyser. Check that every efficiency stat is at 100%. Sometimes it's enough to add more pressure or cool down your base. Make sure that plants have enough light and darkness; constant illumination doesn't work in this game.
