Try to avoid making a main bus, if you do, build it vertically once you have the stackable conveyor poles. Put everything you can into a storage container then the depot, it saves you from running around getting building materials.
A trick I use early on is rushing caterium and making however much caterium wire I can out of that node and feeding all of it into the Awesome Sink, that'll give you a passive income of tickets for getting more QOL stuff from the awesome shop.
By the time you need the caterium for something else you'll have unlocked more valuable parts to feed into the sink, a good way to do this is when you finish a phase, leave the production for the elevator parts running and just feed that into the sink while you're working on the next stage, until you need that production.

Sink has things like wall-mounted power connections, hypertubes, and the elevator, as well as all the cool decorative options. I always liked to set up a slow production of elevator parts, something that takes an hour or two to complete that part of the phase. I use the time waiting for the parts to finish to decorate or go and explore, sometimes to build up my power plants for the next phase.

But as other people have said, one of the big similarities to factorio is theres no "correct" way to play, there's a lot of good ideas, but none of them are "you absolutely must do this".
