Honestly playing blind and figuring out designs on your own is that best reward.

So how do you guys plan it out just started and i'm trying to automate belts and spliters do you just move on from there automating everything you need? Guess next its having the robots bring me the stuff I need to build more stuff?

factorio is one of the games i recommend not looking at other people play. i lost a lot of passion for improving once i saw people on youtube play, cause i know i'll never be that smart or efficient or have bases that large of perfectly laid out, so i kind of stopped bothering. just enjoy the game yourself. in that sense the game doesn't lend itself to community that much, i find sharing creations just winds up making me less likely to play the game more myself

It's not only a niche appealing game, but it's also a east-european game, and there is a major stigma against those. That said, Factorio has been selling AMAZINGLY well and the devs are literally set for the rest of their lives now, so I would definitely not feel bad about the situation.
Gaming journalism and critical audiences are fucking retarded and broken beyond any help, it's just a fact of this world. It's the worst medium in the world in terms of standards, critical audiences and general feedback or standards.

Most people build a "Mall", you don't need ten thousands of splitters and so on, so for early game it's okay to have one or two assembler per product.
