Some voice. Not much, I tend to make mistakes when attempting to both talk and play - truly a case of "cannot walk and chew gum at the same time". Even so I made plenty of mistakes, hindsight says "yeah should have gotten that done sooner".

Cluster seed (looks to be a pretty good one even on 0.5x resources): 59162037. Home planet has decent amounts of iron and copper and the home system has loads of both - as well as plenty of silicon and titanium. We even have an Ice Giant. We should not be running out of resources with this seed.

We are doing a reasonably fast start - not a "where no man has gone before" speedrun, however not being too slow in the process. Speed jog, maybe? We unlocked Blue Science in less than 7 minutes and completed our first Blue research by 8 minutes (Universe Exploration I, it's useful to see vein locations and amounts on the home planet).

By 11 minutes in we were properly mining and then working on automating. A bit slower than I would normally do it, wthwthwth. As always our pain-point is power.

By 15 minutes in: automating circuit boards and magnetic coils. By 18 minutes: automating our first Blue Science production. Actual research took a little longer to get up and going (22 minutes, running slow). Then I realized that I was an idiot and got the blueprinting researched - so very slow. At 25-26 minutes science/research was in full swing.

At 29 minutes we have steel - and I never got that started. At least we could put windmills on the water. A higher priority was Combustible Units and getting some thermal plants running on coal. We still need to get energetic graphite up and running.

We saved at 37 minutes of play - still bootstrapping, we haven't yet used a blueprint or gotten ourselves a beginner bootstrap for belts and sorters. We will continue this another time - depending on my work-load and family committments.

Cheers!
