    the last time I gave factorio a serious run was waaaay back in its beta, before it was even finished and had an end game.

    its just gotten so complicated since then that I get overwhelmed, especially when you start to scale up and realize you fucked something up and have to undo an entire day of shit to move something 2 tiles or something.

      Bots can do that shit. Ctrl+X, select, move the two tiles, place. Realize that’s still a tile off on the Y axis, and repeat. The bots don’t complain.

      I will hand make the hundred or so blue science I need to make construction bots if I have to.

        Yes… if you are far enough in the game for them, perhaps.

        Which I wasnt.

          Since space age came out, it’s way easier to rush bots and rockets. Just red green and blue science.

        I tried about 6 months ago after falling deep into DoshDoshington’s various Factorio Mod and Challenge series.

        I got about 15 hours in before I was just overwhelmed with what I was doing. I miss being young and eager.
