Have you played 1.0 yet? You can automate a lot of the biomass process now that the main biomass burners (I.e. Not the ones attached to the hub) have conveyer belt inputs.
I basically set up two industrial storage bins at the beginning of a biomass production line, one for wood and one for leaves. Each bin feeds into a constructor that turns the associated raw resource into biomass. Then feed those biomass constructors into another constructor that makes solid biofuel. Finally hook that up to the generators and all you have to do is spend a few minutes every hour or so collecting leaves and wood to dump in the storage bins.
It's still enough work that automating coal is a huge priority, but it's not as tedious as it used to be at all.
Thanks for this tip, I was thinking maybe I could just sort of deal with the biomass stuff by hand until I reached coal but I took a chance tonight and built a line for biomass production like you described and it works well. Cheers!

Haha oh man that is such a nice sleek layout compared to….whatever is happening on my planet. Truth time - I’m really bad at this game but I have a blast playing it. My layouts are not slick at all. Thanks a lot for the link!
I fool myself into think I’m good at designing by putting all my spaghetti underneath the main floor so it appears to be tidy
