Hi guys, my fellow factory builders!

How do pros approach the game? How do they design new things? Do they plan, calculate then execute? Or do they just play by feeling? When I see other guys, for example Nilaus, he just casually do stuff which works. No efforts, no struggle, just do this and that ...
