Okay, so after running back and forth to the iron ore, picking up iron ore, coming back, making ingots, making plates, I now have 25 iron plates, so what I can do is I can go back to the trading post here and grab these, put them in the ship, and in seven minutes, our ship will ship off and deliver the plates and we'll get the schematics back.

Okay, so what do we do now for seven minutes?

Well...

we can pick up more iron ore, I guess, or we could, it would be better if we could automate that because it's really tedious, right?

It's slow and it's annoying to play that mini game all the time.

So if we hit B to open the build menu again and go to production, we have the schematics for a miner already.

Now what I can do is I can shift left click on miner

And what that has done is that has added a list on the top left so I can see what I need to build on.

And if I right click on it, it goes away.

So if I do that, now I see what I need to make a miner.

I can spend my time doing that for now.

So I can place a miner on this iron ore here and maybe another miner here.

Then I'll be getting a lot more iron ore that I can do by myself.

Alright, so I've made all the iron rods and iron plates that I need, as we can see up here in the top left corner.

But I still need wire, so 0 to 12 wire.

What do we need for wire?

So there's wire here in the workbench that requires copper ingots.

Copper ingots require copper ore. And if we remember, copper ore was over here.

So this is reasonably tedious right now, which is why we want to build this factory.

Things will become automated and very, very efficient later.

Okay, so pick up some copper ore. Alright, let's do this.

Okay, so I picked up a bunch of copper ore and I ran back and I turned it into wire.

Okay, great.

We can see that we now have all the requirements, all the resources we need in order to build a miner.

So I'll go over to the iron ore deposit here.

I'll press B.

Make sure I'm in the production menu.

Click on miner.

As you can see, miner is no longer red or anything.

And when I sort of mouse over that, it goes...

goes blue, obviously I can't build a miner here, it's red.

Yeah, and then if I use the mouse wheel, I can rotate the miner so that it faces the direction that I like, and I like this direction.

So I'll click, and now we have a miner!

Yay!

Okay, now that we've made it, what I might, now that we've made it, what I might do is I might consider getting rid of the text on the top left, so I'll shift, right click on a miner, and the text up here goes away.

Okay, so now we should have all the ore we ever need, right?

There's nothing here.

Let's open this.

I just pressed E. But it says it needs power.

Okay, so now we need power.

How do we get power?

Well, if we press the build menu, there's a power tab, conveniently enough.

And there's a biomass banner here.

um but that requires 59 plates 59 rods and 20 wires so i'm going to shift left click that again so i see what i need and before we can automate things i'm going to go and pick all this stuff up manually all over again see in a second okay i have everything i need okay so let's build a uh biomass burner uh so i'll just build it i guess i'll just build it here that sounds good um
