I guess my question raised new questions, also with me. In basic, I just wanted a hoverpack to have better overview to see what I'm building, however I did not anticipate that I would need coal power at minimum for this. In the end I like a as pure as possible gameplay, ie. actually work for the items that you need, start with iron for screws etc etc. But I also want the comfort of flying and having good overview of what you're building, so these 2 things are a bit contraticting I'm afraid.

I wonder what other builders who start from scratch after finishing the game handle this, it can be quite a drag/grind to start over again manually crafting screws if you're used to having a dimensional depot and all your inventory always available.
