I want to use rails, I really do. But migrating and new colonies of beasts always destroy my railroads. Sure I can put turrets to protect them but that defeats the purpose. And if I just use artillery trains they still attack the rails. So I need roboports along the track to repair it. So I need electricity. All things considered it's just as efficient and much less difficult to just lay belts, no matter how far it is.

Am I doing it wrong?

Not OP but I've put hundreds of hours into it. Plenty customizable and lots of things to keep you upgrading and expanding. Online multiplayer can be fun if you know some people. You can work on different parts of a factory. If you have any amount of ocd that has that itch, this will do nicely.

Nice. It sounds like my type of game. 30 bucks on steam right now. I put it on the wishlist and will snag it next sale.

The devs have stated their game will never go on sale, so you might be waiting a while!

In that case I might have to op for the 100% off version. Thanks for the heads up.
