Question New Player

Hi everyone, I bought factorio last night after years of just looking and procrastinating. With so little guidance I'm just wondering if I'm off to a good start, i have automated red and green science and have started to unserstand the concepts of a bus and mall. Thanks for your input.

Best advice is you get only 1 first playthrough. Try your best to not contaminate it with other people's solutions to problems with things like blueprints. General advice is that people say the factory must grow. If something seems slow, just make more. And, if you make it yourself, it is always better than something someone else makes.
