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?

But yeah, i don't use rails either. Productivity modules everywhere, then less travel is needed.
