I really enjoy this game, I started on builders like Act Raisers on SNES, SimCity, Anno(all of em), Factorio, Satisfactory. But nobody ever got off the planet. There is something about managing traffic flow and just the sheer amount of stuff created in this game and putting it all together is pretty fun... on hundreds of planets.

I have about 5400+ hours on DSP. When you start a new game at first it is all micro managing your nodes and building a new part every time you get an upgrade, vs power, and ratios, blah blah blah. Once you get fairly advanced if you micro manage, you will get carpal tunnel, blueprints are your friend on the factory and planetary levels. If you have to do something twice by hand just blueprint it blank with no assignments. then as you fill the assignments take a blueprint of that and save it with an assignment

The game is different once you get along in the game. It is more about managing volume than managing a perfect ratio of one mini mall, you are constantly evolving and adding nodes or factories or just a lot of stuff. Eventually you have whole planets making sails, another building rockets and multiple full iron ingot smelting planets. Think bigger than just a planet, don't limit yourself in this game. Once you unlock the new miners you can literally set up your power grid and drop the buggers all over the place move on, next thing you know you don't have enough smelters to deal with the ore, so then you expand all your smelting, and on up it goes till you have full solar systems devoted to making white matrix and consuming them. I wish I could find a solution to getting so much stuff the game slows down, eventually is unplayable and you have to start all over again.

Have a great time in this game,
