First time I completed phase five. Killed about 630 hours across two saves. Now I need that golden nut!

Nice! I'm hoping to beat the game as well on this playthrough. I think this is my 5th attempt? 1st game I gave up once I realized mega-plan was not the right approach for this game, pretty early like just after oil. The other 3 died off somewhere in aluminum; one save, I built a huge aluminum processing facility, but after I fired it up found a bunch of critical issues that would basically require a full rebuild. Save dead.

My current save, I've finished building my aluminum processing center, I'm going through the arduous process of building the logistics around it.. but I'm almost done! It's enough to process all 6 pure bauxite nodes with OC'ed MKIIs, hoping it carries me through the game but shouldn't be terribly hard to expand if needed.

You are definitely over optimizing, if finishing the game is your goal! I would start getting overwhelmed at the start of phase 5, and the key to finishing those steps was not trying to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of every machine.

Eh. I finally planned using an outside tool this time around so I shouldn't have issues. Previously, I put too much faith in my 2am, inebriated mental math.

I started to use an outside tool, realized it would take more effort to tweak overclocks properly, and just went for a slight loss in efficiency each step.
