build roads for the movement speed increase

use vehicles (trains can be manually sent to a particular station, without cargo they can go very fast)

get a spidertron when you can

The only thing you should be stressing about is the factory not growing, and the only way for the factory to grow (at least until you research Logistics) is running around and expanding production.

1. Rush sciences to make myself turboman-roboport.
2. Never craft anything by hand after the first hour or two.
3. Create small but modular/pasteable designs… also just make bad designs that work ‘good enough’ and move on to the next task.
4. Before turboman, never walk, I add a commuter train that goes to every main work/supply destination.

I don’t walk unless I have to, and I modify my base to remove any tedious walking I find myself doing.
