    I like that the difficulty of this problem is unintuitive when you first hear it. Like just keep walking to the edge, how hard could that be? But then you realize, oh, you need to basically fight your way there over the course of hours. Oh wait, not hours, days. And then you realize you'd need to keep a constant supply of combat equipment going up to the "tip of the spear". And then you realize you need to keep that supply safe until it arrives. The scale of the problem reveals itself in a very satisfying manner.

      Just get the oil in. Spaghetti it. Fuck your obsessive need to make everything look nice. What's it matter if you can't launch rocket? Do what I did. After 300 hours I wanted to launch rocket but I was always disappointed with my factories and I would start again. So this time I decided I would just spaghetti my way to rocket. Doesn't matter how I did it. Whatever I need goes to wherever it needs to go. And it worked. It capped-out at the end of the game cos you can expand spaghetti, but my base launched like 50 rockets before I decided to just start again but do it better.
      You learn a lot just doing this. Ratios and stuff and how easy oil actually is. It's just a pain to work it into a bus 1/3 of the way into a playthrough when you've been using just belts up to that point. The only actually "hard" section of Factorio is the purple science cos it's really red-circuit heavy and you just can't seem to ever produce enough red-circuits. Even yellow and space science are easier than purple.
      Also I'd recommend a rail world. Biter Expansion is not for solo play imo. When you play solo and leave on biter Expansion, 60% of your play time is dealing with nests expanding into your smog. So I just play railworlds when I play solo . That was they are still a threat and I need to fight my way out but my play time isn't ruined by spending 3 hours a day clearing out nests

    I spent a crazy amount of time just creating train parking using circuits so that I could park full trains and have them called when needed. The Dev's announced their train-updates which basically does all that and 20x more the day after I finally perfected it. The goal of automating everything might need to include procrastinating on improvements until the dev automates the task for you. The levels of meta-automation are mindboggling.

    With the "build more furnaces" thing, that's one lesson I learned from Creeper World. Having the infrastructure set up is a one-time cost. If the infrastructure is sitting idle, then it's not actually draining resources, however if you need the increased throughput, the infrastructure is already there and ready to use.
    In Creeper World, it's more about spamming SAMs/lasers/snipers everywhere to ensure spores don't nuke your base, but it's the same general concept.

Not only is Dosh aware of the problems he is going to face, aware of practically every way he could counter them, and the upsides and downsides of every path he could take. It requires an immense amount of knowledge of the game, and also the critical thinking skills to figure out how to solve each individual problem.
    Dosh, if you have a job in the 'real' world i bet you're likely vastly underpaid for the skill you provide to your employer. Make sure youre aware of your self worth, and keep your spirits up in these lonely times. It gets hard out there for men, but you are worth something. Remember that.

    I'm only about halfway through but I gotta say this is fascinating. The troubleshooting kinda reminded me of programming. You make something and throw it through dozens of test cases to make sure it'll work in anything you can think of, eventually concluding that it's as functional at least as much as it needs to be. Then you start using it, and are quickly taught that there are far more errors in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

AMD allows ECC RAM, but since it's less popular it's substantially more expensive, and even many AMD users don't have ECC RAM. I'd usually recommend ECC if you've got more than about 64GiB of RAM in one computer, or if you have the computer anywhere with high background radioactivity (in a basement or first floor near escaping Radon from granite bedrock being the most common).

      Oil cracking is actually surprisingly easy to set up.
      All you need is a tank for each oil
      1 pump from each tank
      1 decider combinator per pump
      Take wires from each tank - you will have the volume of oil in each tank as a signal eg 20k petrol 10k light
      Feed that wire into the input side of the decider
      Set the filter to either petrol less than < light oil or light oil greater than petrol >
      Set the decider to output any signal, example green tick
      Wire decider output to the pump
      Pump will auto disable, click on it
      Find its activation behaviour Set it to green tick = 1
      You now have a pump that is off unless you have more light oil than petrol

    Sidenote: If the train deconstructors can deconstruct only part of the train, there is an easier solution to loading the trains before sending them down the pipe. You paste some wagons with a "staging" locomotive that visits a station (or stations) allowing the inserters to read the wagon contents at the the station. Then you deconstruct the train and paste the train that goes down the pipe on top of the wagons.
