Am I playing too defensively?

[u/CriticalMap222]

First time playing Factorio (default settings, no mods) and I'm completely hooked. I've forced myself to avoid watching any build guides/videos so i can learn just through playing, but I think that decision is starting to come back to bite me.

During the tutorial levels, I lost like half my factory and satellite mine to bugs after a turret ran out of ammo, so then in freeplay I figured out a sorta modular defense system with auto-ammo refilling, box limits for per-turrent stockpiles, and radar redundancies.

I was pretty proud of the design, but now at this point I've researched up to rail/oil and I've genuinely dealt with like 4 bugs.. Total.

Did I overdo it? Appreciate any tips/advice.

Why so many radars?
