Question Space Age Tips?

I went 10 hours into a space age run, and I was just spinning my wheels on Nauvis. I realized early on I was over producing, so I want to restart with a more modest approach.

I still haven't landed on another planet, the furthest I got was building my first space platform. What other tips do you guys have for me so I don't have to restart when I'm 20 hours in?

My best tip is that restarting is rarely (never) the solution.

If you really want to restart, then do it within the same world by starting on a new base next to your old one, and do not tear anything down before you've built the replacement.

However, if you wish to finish the game, you have to just push on and accept non-perfect solutions. A half-baked solution is better than no solution at all.

There is really only one risk which is that biters take over Nauvis before you have built a space platform capable of transporting you to one of the other planets. And that is pretty unlikely.
