      Dosh Doshington’s sushi belt is my favorite for this - he’s being rather disciplined because he’s on camera but there are a lot of times he compromises his initial plan “Well the sulfuric acid is right there… there’s no real reason for me to not just pipe it to the battery assemblers.”

      I found a way on how to combat this effectively. I always build the blueprints for my factories in the lab and calculate everything with the calculator. This means that its a hell lot of effort, but it means that I can’t just grab everything of from somewhere else. Also I only have ironplates, copper plates, steel, stone and coal in my main bis.
