This new base is great, but it's too big for one person. It must be a big research centre for many sciencists, but only one Dr.Kel came there. Previous base was only for one sciencist, and that is more realistic. Maybe it is a part of the main story - the disappearing of all sciencists and all that, but if it isn't so: maybe you should develop the base in other way?

there is multiple facilities in the area, even a bunker of unknown purpose right outside the base. I think it makes perfect sense the facility is large and is basically a checkpoint/general purpose building for the area, it's just serving the dual purpose of being your permanent accommodation during work, we had a very similar setup at my last place of work where the foreman on duty had their own bedroom they would take shifts in despite there being plenty of other employee activity on-site
