Warning: Memetic hazard, you only get one first playthrough.
The following describes a helpful organizational strategy, but cannot be unlearned for experiencing the game anew.
||Step 1: Build a 2-4 wide path toward a long open area using stone brick.
Step 2: Build belts following the path on one side
Step 3: Build production perpendicular to the path on the other side
If you stick with that you will always have a clean area to add more belts, and more production.||
