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.

    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.
