I chose this area because I thought that I’d have room to automate all the super early game mats and build my space elevator. Now I’m not so sure. Right now I have iron plates, iron rods, screws, wire, cable, and concrete automated with smelters ready to set up copper sheets the next time I play.

      Yeah, I JUST unlocked the AWESOME Sink, so I’ll have to figure that out next time I play too. Trying to bring verticality into the mix with just foundations seems like it’d make every build way bigger than it should be.

          When I posted that comment I hadn’t realized that I already unlocked walls with base building. I thought that they were in the shop, and I’d have to use foundations as walls until unlocking them.

        Pro tip, almost always build your factory in such a way that you can expand upwards. It’s very rare to have a place on the map where you can’t expand upwards. The exception is when you need to use fluids, then it’s generally better to build horizontally.
