for those that spawn with few trees around you, hold onto that wood to make power poles, once the wood is gone, you will have to cross the ocean to find more
although you can play with biters off, you might want to reconsider that as no extra islands will spawn with out some biters to go kill, no more wood, oil, coal, iron, or copper will appear, max available resources can be obtained by creating a death world(very high,very big biters), but that is a tricky situation.
your first few quarrys will need to make coal to keep that steam going.
use your space wisely, as it is costly to make more space.
get used to spaghetti, because it's probably here to stay for quite some time.
helpful additional mod 'advanced electric' or 'reactors' - for power
you may wish to restart the map several times till you get a few starting resources that you would like to have, like crude oil. set the resource to very high and very big for best chance at getting that resource. very rich if you would like to use it for a good long while
or set everything to none to get a challenge out of using only the quarrys for resources
hope these tips help anyone interested in this mod
