Very nice for a starter base ;) be careful its going to get cramped quickly dont wall up too much and make sure theres plenty of room for a mile long straight line of 10-20 assemblers making science or important component like gears

Wow. I never got that far with such a small base. Did you try to stay small on purpose, or did it just happen like this?

whenever I build bases like this it ends up being a complete mess and I start over again

In the Hall of the Mountain King is still at the quiet part. You’ll get there.

This is beautiful. Make sure to reserve plenty of space for following science pack production blocks, you will need it.
