    lol it takes time to get the hang of it. I’m 2500 hours in and have the method down finally.

    Also make use of blueprints! It makes things easier

      I’ve finally started copying and pasting larger repeating patterns, and having my backpack drones be more than my inventory managers, I have a gW of accumulator energy and 1.2k solar panels, this is of course the first time I spawned within a stones throw of uranium.

      Such a damn good game.

      Question, when do you start utilizing trains? I’ve always gone straight to roboports, avoiding everything train related and having quite long conveyors, because I’ve assumed it’s easier defend than a train, but they appear to unlock much earlier, I’m just intimidated, but maybe it’s easier with blueprints?

        Wayyyyyyyyy easier with blueprints. I still can’t quite figure out train signals so I let blueprints handle it for me.

        This run I’m going robots/main bus, but the logistics train network is pretty fun too, for huge scale. Could start doing trains around the time you start red belts, I bet.
