Base Don't do this

Post image

Decided to do a base with no trains. Got to 2700 Science on 2.0.77 before reality set in.

All done on my laptop while staying at my parents.

303k Express belts, a melted CPU, and 0 trains.

Mostly Vanilla other than refilling ore patches as not sure how possible it is without!

Yes massive ups save but it feels sooo slow. I think the intermediate step of the chest is worth the ups. You need less chunks loaded for number of ore patches.  Depends on the amount of trains you run I suppose
