I'm grinding the phases (new to the game) and I've been spending so much time making sure every build is neat and looking how I want it - but seeing the new stuff I'm unlocking, I've got the feeling that I shouldn't have tried so hard coz I'm probs gonna have to upgrade everything.

Is the the loop of the game to rebuild once I've unlocked better versions of smelters etc or am I playing it wrong?

Once you know the map well enough, and how the game progresses, you're able to start planning way ahead and not need to tear down anything while being really efficient. Upgrading a building doesn't require tearing it down first, you can just highlight the existing thing and build the new thing over it.

Ah ok cool. Yeah defs trying to explore the map when i have free time lol i keep looking for fuel during downtimes and forgetting to just walk around and chill lol
