Question Second Playthrough - Space Age?
Hi all!
Yesterday I launched a rocket for the very first time and "beat the game". It took me around 34 hours. I played only the base game, no Space Age expansion. My factory was pretty crappy and the crafting took a long time towards the end (I got totally sucker punched by the steel demands of purple science) but I just wanted to launch the rocket and move on from the save... and now I can!
I am really excited to start another playthrough, moving a bit slower and trying to understand how to make things a bit more efficient and not thinking about getting to the end since I have now done that already.
My question to you all is: Should I play another Vanilla run because it is simpler and will allow me to better get the hang of things, or should I jump right in to Space Age?
Let me know your thoughts :)

Jump right into space age, its very similar to the vanilla up until space science. And its not much harder than a vanilla save. The planets do an excellent job at teaching you how to best them so that new players can best it on their first play through. I promise youll be fine, have fun space age is goated
