so early game when u using burners is cool, get the coal chain running and use burner inseerters to feed the miners coal and to feed the burners themselves . 100% self sufficient but when u make a furnace chain, you end up with one half of the burner inserters unable to feed themselves coal coz of the way they facing so u always need to go top them up, and it's not 100% self sufficient or am i missing something? also with solar power, are you just accepting that your factory will shut down overnight?

just use electric inserters solar has to either be backed up by huge banks of batteries or have a system for switching to steam power at night (or both)

Use burner inserters for things that use coal so your power generation doesn't get hosed if you overextend your power.

although after youre done theres pretty much nothing to do except make weapons and space ship parts. all of the research stuff is useless at that point. and killing bugs isnt that fun

I got this game because of this thread and it's pretty good. I made an automated factory that builds and inserts red, green, blue, and purple science into maybe 20 science buildings with the only player input being the alien goo into some chests. I made a tank and ran some aliens over last night, but once my mineral deposits run out I dunno if I have the willpower to redo everything and rip apart all the walls and turrets to expand outside of my base.

Aren't the aliens going to be a problem? They're already closing in to where I need to kill maybe a base per hour. And do I have to use trains why not just build conveyors? I feel like learning to automate a train system is too much down the path to the far end of the spectrum.

i had trains going to far out places to collect oil and you have to clean out the path periodically or else too many start gathering when the train passes by their hives. you need to place a bunch of laser turrets by the train entrance/exits in your bases. hot tip: maxed out laser turret damage/speed makes everything easy mode

nuclear power is radical. the chain is just convoluted enough to be interesting to explore. skipping over all that 'let's build one squillion solar panels and accumulators so i can turn off the coal burners' with the power of the atom.
