I guess so. I still think that doesn't explain why my construction counts always seemed so crazy off.Ranger_Aurelien wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 9:52 pmThe way I recall:
"Manual" credit: You place ghosts directly, or place items out of your "hand" range so robots deliver from your inventory or from roboports.
(I enable "Pick ghost item if no items are available" so I don't have to carry everything myself...)

"Automatic" credit: Use a blueprint or use Control-C, then Control-V to place planned buildings. It can be fulfilled from inventory or roboports.

Does that explanation work?
Sort-of related to the tutorials, different people do play the game for different reasons. Not everyone is hellbent on chasing the number dragon and launching 500k rockets. I like to explore content and mutate things a bit with mods without spending 100+ hours per game. My buddy spent of a lot of his games idling, because he wasn't as much into the factory madness (our multiplayer game was when he got the million chips per hour achievement or whatever - even though he played at least 300 hours more than me).
