@skiwi There are some good aspects of a new one. Most importantly: Fresh start, you have perhaps a strategy of how you want to build things so that it doesn't get so messy.
Another reason to start a new map is if you want to play with some mods that require you to build things differently (because of changing recipes), such as some of Bob's mods.
If you want to start playing with some mods, you can add them at any time (pick mine, pick mine!)
@Phrancis How much frontend stuff have you done recently? HTML, CSS and JS?
And I also learned working with construction and deconstruction blueprints today :)
And what auto-trashing does too
Looks like my friend only used the trainrails-related parts of the blueprints though
Soon we need to fully automate research though, then we'll probably start up using our mines too :)
Right now the really only automated process is filling up logistics/construction robots and even that only happens every so often
So we don't have much demand right now
Or wait, the first four research packs are being used, but that's two more researches and then we can't automatically continue, but again it doesn't drain our researches by a lot, probably not quite enough labs
