Bobsangels minus the ores

So, I'm currently doing a playthrough of Bob's logistics, machines, and modules (+god modules!), and nothing else. So vanilla ores, vanilla recipes, but insane production.

Honestly, I thought I'd hate it... you just make too much from too little. But instead, I just embraced it and decided to see if I could build for scale anyway. I figured, okay... if one assembler output 2-4 belts of shit, let's just build several dozen anyway and see if I can figure out how to get hundreds of belts worth of stuff from place to place.

It's actually been a lot of fun. Instead of thousands of assembly machines, it's instead all logistics. Moving that much material is a problem in and of itself. If you like trains, this is actually a pretty awesome way to play, because there is a LOT to move around. My current metals trains are 16-10-16 (middle-engine).

Sure, your SPM is artificially high, but a) it's kinda fun to see just how ridiculous you can get it, and b) it's not the point. The point is to efficiently move as much material as you can from ground to rocket, and the increased production gives you plenty to do.
