	This screen contains a large amount of information about the currently selected base. Notice that unlike the other screens below the main base screen you can change the currently selected base from here without having to return to the previous screen for quick comparisons and checking.		This screen contains a large amount of information about the currently selected base. Notice that unlike the other screens below the main base screen you can change the currently selected base from here without having to return to the previous screen for quick comparisons and checking.

	The various bars are generally fairly self explanatory, for personnel listing the amount of personnel available to be assigned to a new task, and the total that are based here. It also shows most of your facilities that have space limitations and their current usage and capacity. Note that when it says 'Space Used:Space Available' what it actually means is 'Space Used:Total Space'. The ~~defense~~ strength of the base is also listed here as well as the Short and Long range detection capability of the base. Note that as only a single radar of each type is useful, and value over 1 in either of these bars means you have redundant radar coverage, although there are a few circumstances relating to [[Base ~~Defense~~]] you might wish to have this.

	You also have the ability using the buttons at the bottom of the screen to see all incoming transfers to this base, whether of purchased goods that haven't arrived, or transfers from your other bases. You can also get a detailed list of your [[General Stores\|stores]] so you can tell what is taking up all the space.

	In each of these screens you will have a list of supplies that you can either [[Buying/Selling/Transferring\|purchase, sell, or send]] to another base. For buying and selling, you will immediately have a list of items and either their sale or purchase price as appropriate, as well as the number you currently have in stores (but not any in transit to the base). For transferring you will first be asked to identify which base to transfer to before seeing a similar screen where you can set the amount of each item to transfer.

	Finally you can see the Monthly costs incurred in running this base, including any craft you are renting, the salaries for your Soldiers, Engineers and Scientists. It also lists a figure for your [[Maintenance costs\|Base Maintenance]] - this value is incorrect due to a [[Known_Bugs#Facility_Maintenance_Costs\|known bug]], which also means the total is similarly incorrect. As your Base Maintenance is normally of quite a small magnitude on your expensive bases compared to wages and rentals this discrepancy is normally not critical. Note that this total also does not include the [[Known_Bugs#Paying_For_Dirt\|bugged]] costs you may be outlaying for dirt tiles that previously were occupied.

It also lists a figure for your [[Maintenance costs\|Base Maintenance]] - this value is incorrect due to a [[Known_Bugs#Facility_Maintenance_Costs\|known bug]], which also means the overall Maintenance total displayed here is similarly incorrect. However, you only actually pay the correct amount (which can be seen correctly on your Finance graphs), and not this incorrectly displayed amount.
