The damage from the meteor showers is just too much. I am on sol 16 on my very first playthrough, and my base is completely screwed up, with every single building damaged. fixing all the buildings takes forever with my lvl 1 blowtorch, and when it destroyed my battery and transformers, and I realized there is no way to get those small circuit boards back to be able to rebuild them i kinda lost it. so many hours put down, and now for nothing. I get that the game is supposed to be hard, but this just makes me want to give up. yes, there is meteor defense, but I was nowhere near ready to build that yet. And yes, you can apparently run and hide in a pod so the meteors leave your base alone, but I refuse to believe that is the intended way of dealing with the meteor showers.
