My factoring gameplay loop be like:

well thought out start for the first few science packs hit constraints but continue growing with some elegance this should be enough refinery output fuck spaghetti early game modes are depleting remember I’m shit at building railways “this mile long belt is a good solution” more spaghetti I’ve been playing non stop for a week burnt out; going to take a short break 6-12 months later- let’s finish this wtf happened here… restart

180 hours played and I still haven’t launched a rocket, and I loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next go-round.
