Awesome! I was going to say there's a lot of foundational concepts that are needed for this build, and I'm glad they helped.

And yes, the choice between megafactory and lots of little factories is a subject of debate among players, and neither one is necessarily better. I have a hybrid, where I'm working on a megafactory, but also I have a lot of satellite ore processors because usually there is only one way ore can be used, so it doesn't make sense to transport it raw.

Another benefit to satellite factories is performace - big factories can get laggy. I just like megafactories. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And this game can be played blind, but it's one of those that really benefits from some wiki knowledge. There's only so much you can get from raw experimentation. I think I developed part of my different style when I was playing without tutorials, but I definitely took a lot from watching others and I wouldn't have developed it this far without some of that input.
