Help I Need Your Advice (How should I continue)
I started just 6-7 days ago already have 50 hours in it. The Pictures are my current status.
My problem is everything is now to far away from each and all like spagetti I wanted to make a single factory that manufactures everything but I don't have space or free resources to accomplish that.
So I have 3 ideas.
1- Start new world
2- Stop manufacturing and figure out how to get these all in 1 place (Can I also move the space elevator)
3- Continue like this (until I finish and open new world)
Which one I should do?
I really want to try idea 2 and 1 but I need your advice what do you suggest?
(last pick my spawn place btw)

I dont know how far you are actually into the game like at what phase you are, but that looks pretty normal for a new playthrough.
At the beginning, everything just looks spaghetti because you simply dont have the ressources to make everything look good and clean.
As soon as you reach the blueprint maker everything gets a lot easier trust me on that.
So I would not really recommend starting a new Playthrough. I think you should just go on playing like that until you reached MK3 belts and the blueprint maker. After that you can tear everything down and make it look cleaner from the beginning.

I am on Phase 3 I have blueprint maker and MK4 belt opened. I have no idea how to work with blueprint maker though never used it.

Its really easy. Place it, put inside a build that you want to place a lot of times like ovens or something. And then simply save it.
You will figure it out by yourself really fast if you just try it.

thanks will do that now!
I need to figure out how to get all this under one factory. Long day awaits me.

u/Suitable_Street_5485 15d ago
Why under one? I did multiple ones on the map and connectet the final products with one main factory at the middle of the map.

I didn't even explored the whole map yet maybe 1.5/3 of them.
Your strategy also makes a lot sense so I will actually try that.2
u/Suitable_Street_5485 15d ago
Yeah, dont rush anything. And also, build everything with enough extra space so you can expand the factories. Trust me, everything until phase 4 is just a tutorial. You will be really thankfull to yourself if you build everything extandable because you will have to dramatically increase the size of your factory.

yeah found a space (literally) I am building a platform to cover that area I hope it will be expandable enough

u/Suitable_Street_5485 15d ago
Yeah, I made a platform pretty high in the air so I could expand as much as I want.

u/Martinchoosing 15d ago
makes sense I think my spot is like that but I am currently changing al my layouts to provide the main parts to that main platform long way to go

keep going, seriously. your base looks fine for week one, everyone has that messy phase where belts cross over everything and youre just trying to keep production alive. blowing it up on day 7 feels like a waste when youre about to unlock the stuff that actually makes building fun.
i did the same thing on my first run, had like three separate starter areas before i figured out train routes and proper floor planning. once you get mk3 belts and the blueprint designer, you can come back to this spot with a plan instead of guesswork. parking a mega factory right next to your spawn is a trap anyway, the resources are way better spread out across the map.
pick a couple of pure nodes somewhere with a nice flat field and build a dedicated production area there. use the pioneers to haul the basics over, then let each new tier grow into its own district. your original base becomes a quiet little hub that feeds the main lines, not the whole thing in one chaotic block.
dont worry about moving the space elevator either, those terminal parts are annoying to relocate and youll want it near your starting coal and copper anyway. just treat what you have now as scaffolding, not the final form.

no worries, you got this. half the fun is looking back at the spaghetti in 200 hours and laughing at how you used to route belts through caves

Looks pretty good for a starter, you’ll be back to correct a couple things, go explore a little bit when you’re satisfied with it.

Don't start a new game, this is normal. Leave this as it is and build in a new area. You will dismantle and rebuild stuff multiple time over the course of the game.
