So the main difficulty I'm finding with #Satisfactory isn't setting up the machine lines. It's getting the MAIN resource to the lines. Got the machines up for 20 RIPs through Stitched Iron Plates alt recipe? Cool, pure iron node is 300m away. 4th restart, am prolonging phase 1 to prep later.

It's not really a problem when you unlock trains and even tractors Alo Satisfactory is different from Factorio, the permanent nodes make it so you're encouraged to build many small factories instead of a central main one. Just build near the nodes.
