My stages are:

  • Slow, inefficient and spaghetti factory but gets the job done, everything stuffed in a few boxes.
  • get output parts split randomly along belts to make the more complicated products
  • make a train, yay!
  • run out of power, aww...
  • bring out the spreadsheet, careful clocking and splitters to make "ideal" ratios of products to perfectly utilize maximum ore production
  • Get a healthy supply of smart splitters, use overflow and stop caring about perfect ratios.
  • retrieve products from "perfect" factories in spaghettified manner again to get the highest tier materials
  • remake the base with better ratios and better aesthetics.
  • sit back and realize you've spent 100 hours of your life on this, couldn't be happier.

I've got a similar set of stages but mine also include:

Wondering if I should just restart at a new location, feeling intensifies when looking at the spagetti.

Walking away looking for hard drives for three hours.

Spending hours detailing a pipeline/belt system.

Realising that the last extension of my factory wasn't hooked to electricity/raw inputs, thus aggregating issues with previous stages.

Oh man, this so much. Still debating on tearing everything down.

I highly recommend the Satisfactory Tools' production planner, it makes it so much faster to figure out how much of what you need to achieve a particular result.

It's making going nuclear look actually reasonable, something I never managed to achieve in EA
