  • Each new planet is basically an overhaul mod. They did a great job incorporating the best parts of Space Exploration, Krastorio, Seablock, and a couple mods that either they made up entirely, or I didn’t know the names of.

    Also the overhauls to the fluid handling and circuit networks make everything so much easier. I’m actually learning how to use circuits and trains, and I only have about 3000 hours of gameplay in vanilla.

    My best advice is to rush bots, and leave even more space in-between your modular builds. Holy crap do I have some spaghetti because of squeezing things into my bus.




  • Making your own everything isn’t feasible for most people, but if you are at home more than not it’s doable. My 4 siblings and I grew up with a mother that insisted that we make bread, pasta, and everything else from scratch. Thankfully we had an automatic bread maker, and waking up to a fresh baked ¼ or ½ loaf of bread, daily, is amazing. The pasta maker wasn’t as fun, but it wasn’t the work that we went through at Grandma’s house, with her manual pasta maker.

    We all are relatively tall and skinny, though we all have some form of a “beer belly, love handles, etc.” I can tell you from experience that the other kids knew we were getting “the good stuff,” even though it was all healthy food. Apparently this saved them a lot of money when all three of us boys joined the swim team, and they had absolutely ravenous locusts swimmers in the house for a total of a decade.

    It also led me to being able to get jobs as a line cook, and eventually a chef, when I needed a second or third job.

    Edit: sorry, my point was that this is an excellent way to limit the added artificial sugars in all your food, and it will help create healthy eating habits that stick with your kids, even if they have to eat cheap junk for a few years.
