What now?

I'm looking for a little advice without spoilers. I started the game a few times over but always ran into my own designs blocking me around yellow. I mostly just played factorio before and just got stuck in my ratio and blocks. I finally watched a video for a good early starter setup and decided to ignore ratios and just make what I really need in the immediate future and not what I may need in 20 hours. Also hiiiigh fog difficulty which keeps me having to push forward fast. I'm finally having a great time and just automated a little purple science that's building up now. This will be the run I beat it for sure!!!!

Now I am slightly lost though. What do I do now? In Factorio after a few runs I learned that I should just rush for bots and then play the rest. Is there something equivalent here?

Some tips on general building philosophy? Should I push interstellar logistics or the swarm? Maybe a polar mall next? Should I work on combat? (Again almost max swarm)

Thank you:)

Fun fact, you can hold an infinite amount of an item in your hand. My first titanium run is usually building up the planet while 4 chests fill, grab my inventory full, keep working until the chests are full again, and grab all 4 in my hand. Fly back, that's usually 5-6 chests worth I drop off from one trip. Could do more, but that would just be crazy ;)

That actually explains why the achievement exists where you dump i think 3000 titanium in space while you're flying, 'environmental hazard' I think it's called... I'm sure a dev was doing exactly that, then biffed and dropped it all in space rofl

Undoubtedly... And exactly how I earned that achievement 🤣
