Such a great game. If you’ve never played - now’s a great time to start. They changed it just enough where all your old tricks either don’t work or are obsolete. Back to spaghetti factories and making blueprints!

Although I was SHOCKED last night to realize cliff explosives are all the way down the tech tree now. I need to redo my entire base now.

Elevated rail is the reason. I know you still can't build fabricators over it, but at least your rail system can run straight. Research that Refined Concrete quick.

Kinda. You do need to get off-planet and land on a different one, but (imo) it's the most accessible of the new planets. You definitely don't need to go all the way down the tech tree.
