5:35:55OCD is the reason why Factorio takes so much time.
5:35:58Using basic circuits can help a lot with limiting refining production up the chain so you don't clog the main oil refinery
5:36:10basically, pumps are miners, refineries are smelters, and chem plants are assemblers
5:36:32also there is something i am sure you will like, FLAMETHROWERS!
5:36:52you'll prolly only need a few, maybe 5 at the start
5:36:5210 is more than enough for early game
5:36:55even me with 600 hours in factorio needs 5hours to be done with blue science so please do yourself a favor and don't rush it
5:37:05iirc it's 1 refinery for 2 pumpjacks
5:37:07At the start you don't need that many. 10 is fine. Probably double that number of chem science.
5:37:23PSA grenades are great at clearing trees
5:37:30Save yourself a lot of pipe spaghetti in the future and get yourself some pumps. It makes advanced oil much easier. \o/
5:37:42I would suggest putting refineries nearer to your base
5:37:58and, yeah, oil setup near the base tends to be easier
5:38:12that way you just pipe new oil to the base instead of piping it to the first oil patch
5:38:14and they will need water pipe in the future
5:38:15pump the oil back and do it there, yeah
5:38:21Yeah pipes have a distance of 300 tiles but as long as you have a pump you can extend it
5:38:32yep. connect them all to one pipe
5:38:35Ember the GM. Ember the head engineer. Ember the chief scientist. She wears many hats.
5:38:44pipes have insane throughput
5:38:53Pipes have infinite throughput
