In short:

Get hematite and a small part pure copper and lot of bitumen coal.
(pyrite suxs noone has ever used in through history of time, browncoal got its problems, here pyrite is good for sulfuric acid later on, much later on, but u can go for it...).

To get machineparts!

Hematite for ironplates -> crush hematite, after u sorted the shit out.
burn oxides to pig iron. burn again, u get 1 iron, 4 slag (not updated graphics looks like pig iron). need to tech steel science to get the process to make pig iron from ironslag.

steel-> To get steel u need big furnace(90 machineparts, its 4x4, not updated graphics), ordinary steeltech. Special steel teck, steel lab, steel pot producer, then u can upgrade from ironplates.

bessmer steel (requires coke/coal processing 3) -> modern steel (no iron slag, get heat out of process), took med 8h to get to...

Copper: -> cables, -> brown boards -> everything useful.

U need some explosives (gunpowder from sulfur, salpeter, coal), fixed a bug that required handcrafting (YUCK!) in 0.1.32. In order to get electricdrills. Sulfur and salpeter looks same and are yellow :/

Wastemanagement: gravel -> shifted gravel -> sand (interesting process) ->

Stacksize goes from 250 of gravel to 3k for sand. Can kill sand with oleum and then burn the red water.
Wasterock -> stone (can turn into buildsegments, or go for bricks

Bricks -> pipes, and buildsegments.

Dirt-> you need red oven, then turn dirt into bricks.

Explosives are for miningdrills of higher tier. They are faster.

Then usually go for oil processing and turn energyconsumption into oil.

Then get the #¤%#¤"%#¤#¤ lead and tin processes going :)

VERY IMPORTANT TIP.

Chain the coal through the entire base, dont use many different sources, because bases will get large and you will spend all day starting up the base if you dont do this...
