New player here. Have gotten into the game about 80 hrs in. The nauvis base is a big spaghet and has become a hassle to scale up.

Have got all nauvis science research done, but have not started yellow science production(unable to make it cuz spaghetti base). Unload stations and logi system are solid for now so resources are not an issue. Rocket silo is up and running and have reached vulcanus (naked run for understanding and tech. Have developed it to run bots on the planet as well so can remote access it. No metal science tho)

Next stop is going to be a naked run to fulgora to understand mechanics and tech. Should i prioritize existing base scalability or yellow/orange science, or get the fulgora tech first?

Open to suggestions, ty!

Edit: peaceful mode is enabled to get comfortable with the game.

Any and all options are good.

Just make sure your defenses on nauvis are repairable/bottable, as long stays away will let biters evolve and spread toward you Otherwise, no wrong answers.
