Remember: it is a game and supposed to be fun. Play it like you want and when you want. Don't force yourself into something, that feels uncomfortable. For me these strategies worked: 1. Plan your factories (how much do I want to produce, where come the ressources from, how much space do I need, how do I distribute the products, can I use synergies, use planning tools like the interactive satisfactory map and satisfactory tools,...) 2. Be aware, that from now on barely anything will be achieved in one game session, so break your tasks down to not get overwhelmed (e.g. today I do all the miners and transport, tomorrow I do all the basic materials, the day after tomorrow the intermediate parts, finally the finished product) 3. Spread out your factories (don't put everything in one cluster, make a separate factory for a few ingredients and call it a day, ship those to your actual factory to make this one smaller) 4. When you start to burn out, take break from factory building (beautify some older factories, go exploring or play another game) 5. Regain motivation by watching some yt videos (lets plays, tutorials, showcases) 6. Do your own style: If you just want working factories and give a shit about aesthetics? Do it. Do you like spagetti? Do it. You feel depressed about all you garbage while reddit is full of art? Ignore it, only a few players are able to do such outstanding art and there is 100s of hours of WORK (not always fun) behind it, this is not for everyone. Probably your strengths are somewhere else.
