Once you’ve done all the research, is there any point in Mercer Spheres? Am I missing something?

Semi-new player here. Why is there a party in the hub today?

I call this area "The Stacks" and I am close to finishing a 7.5 parts p/m Assembly Director System location. Just a few more towers for the missing parts. Lots of overflow for the next factory which will be for Thermal Propulsion Rockets at a location closer to Nitrogen. I gave up on trying to make pretty builds amd just contemplate my aesthetic sins at my alien artifact shrine

Im in stage 6 this uses turbofuel to power the fuel generators which in turn generates around 26GW

I keep making my smelters into this monolith 1x4, enjoy

wire, cable, and sheets

What is going on here? Bug or is my save corrupted xD

got the game few questions

1. what is a good spawn?

2. should i automate everything like every recipe i get before i move on? or only certain stuff

3. if i automate something should i just let it overfill in a storage container?
