It's going to be a lot more tedious if you have to do it yourself.
For now, why not put your right plate makers on the left side of your ore belt and save all that shit in the middle?
You don't need steel plates as much as you need iron plates. The best start would be to make a big line full of copper plates and a big line of iron plates and feed those into various other lines.
what do i do with all my steel plates then, I already made like a thousand of them

>like a thousand
that's fricking nothing. Trust me, as soon as you're making green and red circuits you're always gong to be wanting. Here's a very basic setup.

It really isn't that hard, the hardest is train signals and you can just forget about that most of the time.
In the beginning all you really need to worry about is how to make science. Having a belt that only has copper plates/iron plates will help out when you're trying to an assembly line for pretty much anything in the beginning. Everyone who started this made some absolute abominations.

this. I have a bunch of trains and I only have to replace one once in a while when two run into eachother
No. Build 5 red science assemblers and 6 green science assemblers.
Then feed them enough resource to work continuously. And build enough labs to consume all the science.

Anon I have good news and bad news.
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
It's good!

oh buddy if you don't think olympic-level athletes are more autistic about running mechanics and efficiency of movement than any vidya player is about their game you are in for a real surprise

y'all so easily triggered it's insane, the game is really not that hard to understand

Press L Alt so you can see what makes what.
But it's a start, now make a construction line for whatever it is that's in those crates so you don't have to fill them yourself or wonder why you're not researching anything while you're out looking for more mines.
Look at the progress. By now you've probably noticed that you can make shit work a lot faster if you put it all together. After a while you're going to need a frickton of circuits so it might be a good idea to make a spot dedicated to making just that.
how to sphageth efficiently? i fell for the mainbus meme the first time i played but now i want to become a chef. i played a bit on my friends and i hated having to reorginize belts constantly
The trick is to forget about "efficiency." You can DoorDash spaghetti (bots), or you could use dried spaghetti (bus), but the real art of cooking lies in the- you know what, I have to go to work, lmao, someone else finish this shitpost
You need to spaghetti in a way that has each area serves a purpose, and have the room to expand as you upgrade, and each resource flows in and out where it needs to go
You should have a furnace area, an area for each science, component area, an area for each board and so on, all taking in material and outputting what you want
So did I for ages, but just break it down and it's not that scary
Just work on one ingredient at a time, don't even think about the rest
Eventually, although it might be jank and spaghetti, you'll produce the frames
k-kino
Are those israelite wires?
You make it :
?feature=shared&t=60
Automate the items going into your science domes. Explorer the map and find new mines and oil.
fueling the labs seems really tedious, am I gonna have to make like 50 assemblers to automatate the science packs?

the ones on the right are making steel plates out of the iron plates from the ones on the left

that's kinda inefficient

yea buddy looks good
keep us posted
alright, here's a minor update
hey, green science! nice!
you're gonna like the car, i drive around in mine all the time

you don't want to have a lot of items stored in chests, it's going to be a huge pain in the ass to move them if you ever need to

Smelt copper as well, then manufacture circuits.

Once this creeps in it's over

add coal
make some sauce for that spaghetti
nothing. you've mastered the game. now go play Palworld or BG3 or something.
Holy shit stop putting shit in boxes yo fricking moron
Create a mall that way you always have items on hand
Don't get filtered by oil you scrub
Send a fish to space
You did it
>Don't get filtered by oil you scrub
I got filtered by the science that needs bot frames
So did I for ages, but just break it down and it's not that scary
