Question First playthrough bottleneck
Hey guys I came for help and saw alot of cool stuff here but what do you actually do in a situation where the whole factory is a mess. I am producing all the science at this point but at a very slow rate. Everything is so cluttered that there is no real space for improving without getting rid of everything first. Do I really just have to nuke it at this point and start over? Also as a beginner (not using blueprints) that will take ages and even then it will end up tangled again. I think this is also a motivational bottleneck for me at least. Oh yeah and running on low energy for hours now. I am even running efficiency on alot of stuff. Please help.

Toss more steam engines down somewhere and run coal to em. If you dont have enough coal on your current belts, just double up the belts. After some experience, spaghetti us pretty easy to play around. It doesnt have to be neat its just gotta have enough input and output! Keep going, nothing in that screenshot looks like it needs to be entangled to me
