imo don't bother scaling up so big from the beginning cause it'll slow you down, just treat your 1st base as a feeder base that supplies materials for a new mega base then deconstruct it

ofc play how you want, just my thoughts

ya, i'm in the post game of my second base now so I'm strip mining to get to a million plates per second and ran into throughput issues (I have more than enough input, but it gets bottlenecked and can't feed everything)

One example is my circuit mill; I have a copper wire assembler connected to everything, but the demand is just too high and there's no space now to fit in more assemblers, and even if I did fit them in I'd have a tumourous growth of copper wire assemblers jutting out of everywhere

So I'm working on a separate copper wire plant; but since it's fed by the same copper lane I need for literally everything else none of the plates are actually getting farther down the line (being all consumed by the wire plant)...

Basically, I need to take all my problems and move them somewhere else, I need a dedicated copper mine that can just shit out copper wire on to a train and then have the logistic network move everything (I'm currently running around 500 logistic robots and my base is only like 2 screens big :/)

edit: Or I could use speed beacons :B
