Hopefully this guide has helped you to create a strong foundation for the rest of the game.
Whilst a little repetitive its a great little game.
Just remember this guide only represents one of many ways to start... but in my opinion its the easiest and most complete way to start.

Thanks for reading.

Tip:

And here's an alternate way to store and sell using conveyors without using pellets. (will mess with your OCD if your a neat freak) lol

Before Selling

After selling

Then after beings cleaned up by the robots.


Tip 2:

Use this script with AutoHotkey to make it easier and faster to load pallets...
