Question at the bottom

The other day I hit a road block in oil refining and decided to expand my oil refinery a size. The one before was temporary at best and had to go... But i didn't know where to start. When I looked it up, I found a blue print book and nearly imported it but decided it wouldn't be fun. So I watched a basic oil tutorial (by trupen i think) and attempted to do a good construct. After a power crisis and a billion biters attacking my outposts every second, i finally built the groundwork of the refinery and feel better than ever.

So my thoughts about importing blueprints just don't. It really spoils the fun by a lot. If you really need some guidance you can look up a tutorial, not the step by step ones, but the ones that just give you the knowledge. Trupen is pretty good at explaining some mechs.

And I got to ask how do I auto reload my gun turrets? It will make my life so easy
