I finally decided it was time to get Lazy Bastard. It was an interesting way to play the game, and it really made me appreciate the flexibility that sushi malls provide. I still handcraft a lot on my main savefile, but the sushi concepts have started to spread throughout my base.
I really hate restarting this game too, burner city is a waste of 20 minutes and I'm decent enough at the game but not quite there yet in rushing bots and fully utilizing them for massive and rapid expansion.
>speaking of massive and rapid expansion, I would the OP if you know what I mean
Past that point though, it's a lot of fun. Interplanetary logistics and quality are really fun to figure out.
My only gripe about this game is how normies cry about biters and insist to newfags to turn them off. IMO they're just another logistics and production challenge into military science, which conveniently, most of these fags decide to skip over. No wonder biters run you over.
