20 hours in and I have fully automated the first two science packs. ok probably most of that was spent iterating on my waste management( I got focused on pyrak not realizing it was farther off). but I was able to partially automate both packs after about an hour in game and research through electrolysis. This made the pacing feel incredibly weird as I often looked at the new recipes when planning my expansions and felt like there wasn't enough bonus yield to consider a solution with them. So far I've found the steam systems to be engaging even if I feel like I'm missing some obvious early game thread into organics.
what has early progression looked like for everyone?
