Every vanilla playthrough of mine follows a rough progression: get to blue science with spaghetti, organize a bit, and then get bots all with my initial ore deposits (maybe a few trains to the closest other ones if needed). After that, I build a larger, more organized base with a comprehensive train network from scratch in another location and then work to finish the game.
I assumed this was the norm—or close to it—but I’ve seen people just progressively expand their initial base at spawn until they beat the game. I feel like I could do it differently just because I have less experience and hence less foresight into what I’ll need as I go, but I’m not sure.
What do you guys do? How come?
Usually build a starter base to build my starter base to build my mega… Wait no still a starter base. Ummm
To to be honest I Rush towards rail and logistics and then make a grid rail system that I can expand out with robots to build things at my malls. Infinitely scalable. Got my custom made rail blueprints I built with my modules for each stage of game.
So I build a smallish “starter” base and once the starter resources run out I deconstruct it basically.
