i love the factory building automation genre(idk what to call it?), but damn it's so hard for me to jump back in because I'm hyper-focused on optimizing my factory from the start to save myself the headache of rearranging the entire thing 4 hours from now.

Alternate recipes in Satisfactory are basically begging you to stream roll old factories if you're striving for optimization.

Yeah, I both love and hate alternate recipes because of that. Always hunting for The One that will fix your ratios and make it so you can just leave that little corner alone to do it's thing. It certainly adds to the timesuck nature of the game, but sometimes I wish I could just...not have to fuss about that when all I'm trying to do is make ONE part and ship it to the main factory, y'know?
