So I finally built my first train! I’ve gotten to bots and yellow science before but never have built a train. The one I built is a LCC train that transports iron back to my base. Just realized how easy it is to get the hit by a train achievement. 3 times. 3 times in 20~ minutes. No real reason for this post was just marveling at the devs handiwork! Also anyone else get entirely distracted by their base when they bring new resources in? I spent another 20 minutes staring at my mall and green circuits starting up. Mesmerizing.

Welcome to the factory. Bid goodbye to your loved ones. Cancel your Netflix, Hulu, and sports channels. Get your food delivered and get a subscription adult diaper service.

Congratulations. You realized what the game is actually about.
German even has a word for it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuselfaktor (loosely translates to "bustling factor")

That first train is a great feeling. I was thrilled beyond words.
