Coffee cup is cool when building, as it clears up the view
Electric wall thingy is nice as well to spend tickets on, and windows, and angled fondations ... and hey ! conveyor wall support !
Glass fondation oh yes this one is a must have ...
And oh yeah hypertubes love them too !

I'm trying to maximize based on the belt limit, and go with that
So if a smelter takes 30 resources, the tier 2 belt with 120 says I need 4 of them, and so on. I made 12 smelters, so for iron that means 24 constructor, next I gather as much into single container (preferably 120 or 270 a minute ), so calculations for the next tier of items is a lot easier.
space is not really an issue in this game, so my planning doesn't go much further passed the thing I'm working on (I do have a general idea what I want to do though).
I found an awesome alternative schematic that gives 50 screws for a single steel beam, which changed some of my initial planning already
I had some ideas about container setups, but none really worked out the way I wanted, so in the end I decided against too much storage. At least for now, at low tiers. After all a 100% efficient factory shouldn't require storage at all
Ok, I've been playing a bit with the mega base, but it's giving me headaches
I keep running out of space, and have to redesign it constantly guess I keep underestimating sizes in this game...
I made the steel 'factory' I saw here, and it's pretty awesome, so I might go back to how I tried before, with specialized factories spread around the map.
He's doing the mega base now, so curious to see how it will go.
The dessert biome looks nice, with lots of high yield resources, but I don't feel like restarting yet again... I want to see the trains, ffs How far away is it from the default (easiest) biome?
I think I'll just build a train to both desert area and start a new factory there. Now directly using the resources from the old factory.
The problem is not really having a goal atm.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
I started again, fuck it
Saw some nice videos with belts and pipes hidden under floors and roads, and with the new glass floors it can look pretty cool, so gonna try something like that.
That Kibitz dude gives good ideas, I might give the megafactory another go. Desert seems better suited for that than the starting area anyway.
The Steam release is "officially" planned to be in May "sometime".
Other steam stuff: Price will be the same as on Epic, crossplay with Epic games will happen. Achievements won't exist for a while until the game is closer to complete and until Epic has achievements. You won't get a free copy of the game on Steam by owning it on Epic.
Dedicated servers are on the back burner until Steam release, but still in the works.
Coffeestain are still working from home and adjusting to/coping with that. Current work and upcoming updates are mostly bug fixes and optimization but there are some features and additions that are in the works that might be added prior to the Steam release.
They discussed adding building tools to make things less tedious. There's a balance between making the game less tedious and losing the intentional feeling of being a single small entity building in the big world. It's not supposed to feel like playing SimCity. So discussions internally ongoing in that regard, I guess.
"You won't get a free copy of the game on Steam by owning it on Epic."
Yeah that's just crap right there... expecting people to pay twice to receive updates more often. Why do people pull this crap, doesn't make any sense to me other than the ol greed monster taking over.

Epic Store is not GOG, it allows devs to release updates as often as Steam does. I am saying this based on my experience tracking all the multitude of Satisfactory EA updates on Epic Store for the past few months.
