Wondering if anybody can provide a checklist of sorts? More details below. (discuss.tchncs.de)

So I’m preface this by saying I love this game as it lets me just do things and forget about life for a while. But, I kind of suck at planning (ADHD) and so I’ll just end up watching play throughs and building what they build, where I would rather just play it on my own but I can never keep the motivation to see what I should do next.

So I’m wondering is there some kind of checklist for each step.

Like:

  • Gather resources
  • Set up electric power
  • Get 1 red science per second set up
  • etc

This is as worded hella poorly and I will delete if not well received.

My checklist is the build menu. I try to make an automated setup for everything in the game that makes sense. (I don't for things like artillery guidance widget. Only need 1.)

If I need more of a thing, I build another setup. I don't go for N science per minute. I prefer enough labs to balance a red science pack assembler, then balance the other colors by that ratio. If it's too slow, I double it.

Thanks for the response.

Yeah another person said they focus less on N number of times per second and more, build more if you need more.

I’ll keep an eye on the build menu and let that guide me.
