🧠 Pro Tips
- ⏸️ Pause before building to assess surroundings and plan defense :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
- 🔁 Connect all production via conveyors—anything not linked to your Core or turrets won't work :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
- 🤖 Start manual drilling with your ship to supplement automated drills.
- 📘 Copy logic schematics from the community when you're learning scripting :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}:
“If you find logic confusing, i suggest copy or download logic schems… experiment on sandbox.” :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- 📱 On mobile, dragging conveyors takes some practice:
“hold your finger over the start position for 1–2 seconds then drag… you should play custom games to practice.” :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
