Strategies for the early game

This encompasses anything from the beginning up until you've launched a rocket. Firstly, rush a bunch of droids. Use a 80%/20% droid/robot split. Mine up a bunch of stone to power all your furnaces, and mine coal to power your fire starters and by extension, furnaces. Furnaces matter a lot. Get a lot of them, but make sure to always keep your net stone per tick positive. Keep on getting more furnaces and furnace support, until your hole is deep enough to mine tungsten. Switch your furnaces to the default, except tungsten and titanium. Mine tungsten to get fluid handling. Ramp up a bunch of steel and compressed iron production. The optimum ratio of steelmelters/ironmelters/titaniummelters/pumps is 1/1/3/3. This means that the ratio of melters/alloyer/coolers/pumps must be 5/8/8/3, but you can go over on the alloyers/coolers part. Use a script to buy these things so that you keep in ratio. Try and get a lot of frostium, and once you get planet grinders/frostium furnaces, switch over to them, instead of normal furnaces. From there on, just get a rocket silo.

Congratulations. You're now on your own.
