I just love the very Factorio way to get rid of surplus - just toss it over the side.
The actual best way to deal with surplus is to store it all, just in case.
Yep, but if you run out of storage space then The Factorio Way™ has always been to use some kind of destruction method - from handgunning a wooden box to using a mod to vaporize it into the ether.
You can’t build chests in space, so there’s very limited buffering or surplus options.
I think the biggest change with space is that it appears that the asteroids are an infinite resource.
I really wanted to like this game, but having to manage all the things gave me anxiety.
I usually have similar stress playing management games but honestly, of all of them factorio really lets you do it at your own pace, especially if you torn off biter expansion. I’d often just say something like “ok this afternoon I’m redesigning the oil refineries because they are a mess” while everything else is just standing by waiting for me. Ticking these things off one by one is kind of the main attraction of games like these tbh
