So, I just put 200h into vanilla game, and my life as I knew it is over. Wife left, kids don't remember my face, you know how it goes.

But to continue my journey of automation, what is the most fun, and best way to start space age?

I haven't bought it yet, but as far as I understand there are different ways to start it.

I don't wanna risk getting "burned" and replaying vanilla too much, but also don't wanna skip it completely. Is that an option?

This question probably gets asked every day here, so I apologize if that's the case. Couldn't find a quick answer from my 2 min research.
