This getting-started guide is organized like a compact wiki page: version first, then materials, power, wiring, machines and a checklist for growing a stable industrial base.
Confirm the technical foundation
Before planning a world, verify that the game, loader and mod versions match. This prevents wasting time diagnosing gameplay systems when the real issue is a loader mismatch.
Build with future space in mind
Industrial builds grow quickly. Leave room for multiblocks, access paths, power lines and expansion instead of squeezing every machine into the smallest possible room.
Treat wiring as infrastructure
Plan poles, relays and service corridors as part of the factory design. Good wire routing makes both troubleshooting and future upgrades easier.
Expand one system at a time
Bring one power source and one processing chain online first. Once it works reliably, duplicate or extend the pattern rather than building many untested systems at once.
Next step
Once your setup is stable, use the other guides on this site to plan power, wiring, performance and larger factory systems. For the file itself, use the main direct download section on the homepage.
