I chose this area because I thought that I’d have room to automate all the super early game mats and build my space elevator. Now I’m not so sure. Right now I have iron plates, iron rods, screws, wire, cable, and concrete automated with smelters ready to set up copper sheets the next time I play.

    Remember you have a whole other dimension! Time to build up

      Yeah, I JUST unlocked the AWESOME Sink, so I’ll have to figure that out next time I play too. Trying to bring verticality into the mix with just foundations seems like it’d make every build way bigger than it should be.

        Pro tip, almost always build your factory in such a way that you can expand upwards. It’s very rare to have a place on the map where you can’t expand upwards. The exception is when you need to use fluids, then it’s generally better to build horizontally.

        I understand the feeling.

        But everything will be bigger than it should be. Efficiency is number 1

          When I posted that comment I hadn’t realized that I already unlocked walls with base building. I thought that they were in the shop, and I’d have to use foundations as walls until unlocking them.

            Yeah you get the bare essentials with the main path, and then cosmetics are all through the shop
