When you activate a new base you have to fix the Energy Generator, when the it is fixed should activate facilities at the base instantly without user intervention. Because forcing to do it manually you often forget about it, and that has an impact if they are not activated and producing.

Not mentioned in the patch notes but now facilities are powered on automatically after repair.

This is fixed in Polaris, part of Steam release too in December. Great work devs, I am glad now.

Indeed seems strange in this apocalyptic world, that you sacrifice the last spam sandwich from the mouth of your starving soldier, to trade it for 3 more screws to fix the darn research center.

Then a week later when she asks about how the new armor research is going, you be like "Huh..? Oh right, gee forgot to turn on the lights. But we cool right?".

Maybe also include a warning on the main geoscape screen if a facility is not powered. Click on it and get taken to the relevant base screen.

It's not even just that. A newly-repaired base facility requires you to manually turn its power on, too, even if the power capacity to run it immediately exists.
