Enjoy playing the mod so far, only a few hours in.

I now am at a place to consider building a main bus. It seems that late game recipes require a LOT of resources and I did a quick calculation and the main bus would get really big. Curious what worked for people who are further into the game. Not really into megabases and cityblocks but it seems that pure spaghetti would get out of hand real quick

I used a bus to get to bots and then rebuilt my base with city blocks. Blocks are significantly easier. But I imagine a non-block train base would work OK. You could do a bus base where only raw resources go on the bus and you smelt and craft intermediaries as needed for each production line. I considered that before deciding on city blocks.

I went for a gigantic main bus that’s just expanding. No raw ores (except stone and coal), but a LOT of plates and ingots. Really fun

Very cool. My original mall was sushi, which worked ok but was pretty slow. Decided to try a bus-based mall for the new and improved city block base. This "little" mall is already much bigger than any vanilla mall I've ever had.
