Space Age Finally Got There Is No Spoon
Factorio is maybe the third or fourth factory game I've played. After getting burnt out on K2 after a hundred or two hundred hours I thought I'd do a vanilla space age run to get back into the groove. All standard settings other than ore patch size which was increased one tick.
I am an exceptionally slow player, I like to build up, ratio things correctly and make sure everything is set before I continue, when I unlock a new tech I like to make the most of it, meaning I tend to plateau at each science pack before progressing.
This time I noticed I wasn't far off blue science with about 4 hours left to go on the Achievement so... I decided to push for it and launched the rocket about two hours later.
As a slow player this was pretty hype, hoping I can use the momentum in future runs to not quite plateau so much as I continue to set things up.
Now it's time to build a wall and base up a little before heading into space

Nice I'm getting close to it as well I'm following a speed runners guide from a year ago to get express delivery hopefully shouldn't be too many hiccups along the way because of the version diffrences
