I agree!! But in factorio, that is never even a problem since youd never want to do it. if i want to finish a bunch of tiers in this game, its a lot faster to auto craft things especially like reinforced iron plates and above. I’d prefer them make automation more necessary… one idea ive seen is making the space elevator require a certain amount / second to upgrade tiers, which would require a certain level of automation. Now, you automate things just for fun practically… at least for some aspects. Like, making rotors automatically takes a huge factory plan whereas its really really easy to make a bunch by hand.
