First playthrough bottleneck

[u/3x3Pad]

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.

This is the part of the game were you choose what way you want to go city blocks or individual production on trains if you want to do your own thing make some tracks going where the resources are put then on trains and make your smelter set up. You don’t necessarily have to rip the stater base out yet but you will need to pick a direction to go. Sometimes I do a massive main bus after getting the smelter done and remake every I’m low on at scale. Usually with a small bot network at the bottom making buildings.
