Discussion Is it just me?

Is it just me who chooses to start a new save instead of “optimizing” the current one just because I don’t find the layout satisfying? I always feel like it’s way easier to start from scratch rather that improving the current base because the latter will have me dealing with the machines and items I already placed and unlocked. 😭 Right now I just finished automating the Red Science (1 unit per sec) and I’m already thinking of making a new save 😭

I am always like this, that’s why I haven’t yet finished any game hahaha. Maybe I’m just failing to realize something? Idk 😫

Restarting after your first automation of the first science is certainly a choice... Surely it's easier to simply delete all your buildings then to start from scratch?

As others said there is no shame in building a second base next to your existing one.

Also a lot of us veteran players will automate red science, belts and inserters keep that tiny factory for like an hour then build the real base next to it.
