How to use this entry
Use this page to narrow the task, then move into one stronger route page.
Check the current blocker, then open the ore, progression, or base-flow page that actually solves it.
- Avoiding random material farming when the real blocker is station order.
- Deciding whether the next step belongs to ore, progression, or base layout.
- Keeping crafting upgrades tied to one useful milestone.
Common mistakes
- Collecting materials for several benches at once and finishing none of them.
- Ignoring the progression requirement behind a station block.
- Moving the entire base when one cleaner crafting lane would solve the problem.

The Core
