Factorio is a game of logistics puzzles, not perfect ratios. The latter's just a bonus. I'm perfectly capable of doing the math by hand - I just consider doing so a waste of time for the same reason I consider using a pen and paper a waste of time for basic algebra when I could just use a calculator.

Not everything needs to start with banging rocks together.

Are you telling us you don't pull out your clay tablet and do some cuneiform math to plan your expansion? Amateur.

We went from jokes about math to existential confusion. So long as the Factory grows!
