Factorio Base Progression - Frist Year

Here's my base progression from 12/2025 to today, 5/8/2026. I could've gotten a lot further with robots and blueprints, which is what I've finally surrendered to using.

Mostly I treat it as a puzzle gam, cracktorio, for organization and efficiency. It's been a pretty neglected playthrough. I'm not doing as much science as I should, and I've only attempted to convert to solar (~5GW at the moment) to keep my setup from crashing under the weight of so many nuclear plants.

Now I'm trying to use Claude Code to pass in my base as a blueprint string and start optimizing!

Screenshots below are the base progression over the course of a year, 3, 6, and 12 months.
