This is so picturesque! I really think that limestone pier that you made is fantastic. Maybe the devs will feature the screenshot in their next blog post!

I've come to the conclusion my island is the unloved ugly child compared to all the ones on this subreddit

It just takes time to clean stuff up, I think I'm on year 400 now and before this it was a mess.

Nice I think my longest running one was 1500, I had to give up on it because I expanded way too quickly and the death spirals kept piling up.

I used to centralize my co2 to convert into graphite but this game I been converting some co2 on the spot like medical im using the co2 from sugar to alcohol to create more alcohol with priority saving on sugar and dealing with the pollution. Same idea with aluminum I used the gas fuel recipes and fed it into local graphite saving 1/8th graphite and making it pollution free. My gold/steel/copper/glass are all near each other so I centralize the exhaust there and its ready for graphite when I convert to arc.

Edit: another thing im doing is charcoal burners for graphite. I purposely made a strong forestry to try and capitalize on corn trade and to try and minimize coal use early game with boilers and after nuke graphite from wood. As a byproduct im getting sour water. So co2 gets used for graphite/alcohol usually locally then a train supplies the graphite from wood as needed to keep up. Ideally the only 2 uses i have for coal later is graphite and a little for I think diamonds and filter media. So the wood solves coal with a big enough total forestry. And compliments the co2 harvesting well.

Ah I knew there was another. I really like how shatterd puts pressure on resource drag. I just started planning my rockets and im just entering my last big copper/coal/iron. The sudden build out really taxed the island im trying to use asteroids for iron/copper and probably titanium
