The goal of this playthrough was to document what is required to get through the game with minimal manual crafting. There are only a specific amount of items that require manual crafting (like rotors), everything else can be constructed in a machine. This also encourages you to visit crash sites early on for those dropped parts. Also, just for giggles, any decision making (HUB Milestone, Research) must be decided through the spin of a wheel of random choice. The random choice prevents habits like “rushing to coal”.
This playthrough was performed on Update 2, so expect this save to not function very well. I also developed more style in my building techniques while playing this. Coal power and Turbofuel are the two power methods used in this playthrough.
Minimal manual crafting is the cornerstone of my playing style these days, for two reasons. 1) When you stop manual crafting something at a craft bench then it's no longer being made (as opposed to it being automated). 2) Standing at a craft bench makes for a boring stream.
Fun Fact: The first attempt we tried at this lasted no more than an hour as I got stuck in Lizard Doggo World in the West Coast so we decided to start from scratch.
