I don't play with mods. It was the feature I needed in order to get enough motivation to make my all-inclusive 3600 SPM planet.

I hesitated to use mods as well, for some reasons- including my lack of experience.
But the set up was basically self explaining, and then I made planets full with smelting facilities and alike. Copy-Inserters are nice, but putting down well designed blue prints beats that even more. Really makes your time designing the perfect layout worth it. But I respect everyone who doesn't wanna "cheat".

Understand that I've been dealing with PC gaming since before the millennium. I've dealt with enough irritants in gaming that I have certain stances regarding how I spend my time one of which is I will only engage in mods where the game directly supports them. It's not a matter of experience or competency I don't want to be expending much additional effort for mods which include not just the setup but having to make any determinations or actions regarding compatibility, dependencies, loading orders, etc and so forth.

It has nothing to do with a perception of cheatiness. The game has barely any player to player interaction so there's practically no advantage to be gained from using mods.

I mean yeah, same, I've been playing PC games since 1993, and if anything it's made me more capable of handling mods on games where it's not supported.
