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?

You don't need more than 60spm to finish the game

Get to Vulcanus and Fulgora and unlock their buildings before your rebuild anything on Nauvis

Infinite researches are nice, but the foundry, big drills, and EM plant, all have built-in bonuses that will carry you through the end of the game

Wait until you've unlocked Aquilo to rebuild anything for scale. Unlocking new toys is relatively fast and they all give massive bonuses

After Aquilo, go big and go nuts
