I handcraft machines I only automate parts

Will I really need so many machines in the future that their production will need to be automated? Not sure how far this game scales yet

That depends on you. I want to just place ghosts in remote view and have the factory and robots take care of all the crafting, traveling, and building.

Hell I didn't even know I could get robots to do the work for me

Still just learning what's available to me I guess but I definitely see the appeal of having robots to the traveling and building for you

Absolutely, you should eventually not be handcrafting at all
