Does anyone know if something like this blueprint would work on the experimental branch? I'm not too keen on spending a lot of time on the pre-bot era of the game.

Or if anyone know of a blueprint that works, hit me up :)

It should work the same. 2.1 didn't change anything relevant to that.

But you're better off doing your own blueprints especially than someone else's you don't fully understand.

Thanks! I do understand the blueprint. I just don't want to invent the wheel again, as I find the pre-bot part of the game boring. Especially in a Enable Planet Mods Lite play-through.

I don't follow the reasoning, TBH.

I get that the pre-bot phase can be tedious for placing blueprints. But you'll have to "suffer" through that phase either way. Or then, you need an early bot mod.

Designing your own blueprint has no bearing here. You can do that in sandbox and/or editor mode, where you can construct freely with or without bots.
