Does anyone else lose all track of time while playing this game? (self.satisfactory)

It feels like there is always one more little thing that you can get done before hopping off. But then that turns into 10 other little things you can do. And the next thing you know it's the next day and the sun is coming up.

I currently have about five projects on the go in the game. Building automation for pretty much every item that you would need to build any building, building out a nuclear waste recycling plant (precursor to building a nuclear power facility... I don't want to irradiate my save), rebuilding a few manufacturing plants for basic components that may already be automated poorly, finishing my resource area/hub base, doing some beautification of finished plants, maxing out my biomass bins, getting more hard drives.... It never stops!

Next on my list is my steel factory which has been very poorly done for a long time; then rebuilding my reinforced plate/modular frame/rotor plant. The new steel plant will hopefully also make nobelisks, and stators, then I can just grab an assembler for the final production steps of motors at the hub base where both the rotors and stators will be going into their respective bins.

I've been focused mostly on power, I have 12000MW of coal/fuel power right now and I'm using maybe 60% at full production; but trying to build out a nuclear recycling plant without key components being automated already is making everything a headache, so I changed my focus to the hub base which is currently being built up with all my parts storage. Once I have the vast majority of the parts automated into the new base, I'm going to go back to the nuclear build before building the final plants for the last space elevator tier.

The milestones were done pretty fast this save and I kinda miss them. Everything is unlocked in the awesome shop, so now I'm working on making all the things and scaling up.
