    Currently 10 hours in a new save, because my old one got to messy. This time I’m not going to try and build a stupid megafactory. I keep thinking it’s like factorio but in 3d, but it isn’t

      Absolutely. Satisfactory encourages smaller factories with specific purposes. You can just do one big thing and import raw resources, especially in eg dunes or grasslands, but I think it’s more rewarding the other way around.

      Though I will say not to get discouraged by the inevitable need to refactor old spaghetti. If it’s too much work to tear it down, just hook its outputs up to a sink, and go to a different area of the map to rebuild. It’s faster than restarting, and then you get coupons!

    Starting a new save? What do you mean? Starting a new game? Loading an old save? Starting the process of creating a new save?

          I like eating spaghetti, I like making spaghetti. Foundations are made to be erased. ;)

            I think the game is trying to teach you this by starting you without foundations or splitters. Throughout the game you repeatedly encounter new technologies that fundamentally change how you can build your factories to a new scale. Embrace it.
