In this nearly hour-long episode of Swag Plays Factorio, I focus on refining my entire factory while reworking my research queue—twice—to enhance my robotic allies. Along the way, I tackle a sneaky problem: stopping stone bricks from clogging up my copper lines. Plus, I automate the production of logistic robots, setting up a steady supply for future expansion. Though rocket research faces delays, I’m confident that my improvements will accelerate progress when it’s back in the queue. Watch the episode and let me know in the comments—did I make the right calls?
