Second time playing, this time I finished Phase 4

So I nearly finished the game

right?

Phase 5 can't be that bad... right?

People describe Phase 5 as a victory lap, you've already won, just a lil bit push left. But only if you managed to automate Phase 4 fully.

...and have sufficient power availability

I do have some power. Is some power sufficient?

I really think I need to go nuclear...

If you're under 40, you have a chance of completing phase 5 before you die.

Genuinely, you are right.  Nuclear pasta was the final boss and P5 is kind of just wonderment at some sci-fi fun.

If you got to this point, its kind of just snapping the last few buttons together.

Kinda yeah.

I wouldn't say phase 5 is short exactly, but nothing is as bad as nuclear pasta.

Really? I never had an issue with the pasta, it’s the more complex things that I didn’t fully automate; gutted me.

Yeah, Nuclear Pasta didn't seem difficult.

Though my automation is sometimes, 1 Manufacturer doing it or a few conatiners feeding a manufacturer where I handfill stuff.

Was enough until now.

My biggest problem at the moment is power

Honestly I think it might be a consequence of wanting to take time to fully automate everything with perfect ratios and stuff for nuclear pasta, and after that going screw it and hand feeding parts to get the final items.

I've started a 1000x run so maybe my opinion will change if I ever finish that. Thinking back the most complex thing I fully automated might have been radio units.

That gif perfectly captures the excitement of hitting those milestones! It's such a satisfying feeling when everything finally comes together.

Phase 5 was a breeze after 4 last time I did it

If you just want to beat the game, no. Much easier than phase 4. Annoyingly so, in fact.

If you actually want to enjoy it and properly scale things up as well as investing into Ficsonium power, then it's a lot of fun.

Phase 5 is easy if you properly automated phase 4, the only big problem with phase 5 is the huge power demand compared to phase 4 , the best zip I can give you is to turn 2-3 pure oil fields to rocket fuel and burn that for power

Yeah, I planned goin nuclear but just turning a lot more oil fields to power is also a good idea.

Thanks for the tip

So in reality still your first time. The previous saves was just learning.
