Is Rebuilding After Your First Base Inevitable? (lemmy.world)

I'm grinding the phases (new to the game) and I've been spending so much time making sure every build is neat and looking how I want it - but seeing the new stuff I'm unlocking, I've got the feeling that I shouldn't have tried so hard coz I'm probs gonna have to upgrade everything.

Is the the loop of the game to rebuild once I've unlocked better versions of smelters etc or am I playing it wrong?

I build my first "permanent" base/hub when tiers 3 and 4 are complete, in preparation for phase 2 parts. This will usually be my base for the rest of the game with easy access to all basic parts.

Same here. Once you have trains the entire gam changes. I usually move my main hub to a new one where the hub becomes more about transfer and switching of material instead of actual production.

Side benefit is you also have trains you can jump on and ride that go anywhere else in your factory

Aaahhh ok, so tier 3 and 4 is when buildings start getting more 'permanent'?

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, at least how I play. After I make my "Phase 2" factory, all my factories after are meticulously designed. Remember to give yourself way more space than you think you need, because you will be unlocking upgrades and new building pieces that you will want to incorporate. Until I unlock most of the Awesome shop items, I leave my factories bare but well planned.
