I love how in rimworld the prawns do their thing. Running around with the main character is taxing. How do you not get stressed?

I also usually play without bitters, so there’s no time pressure

This is what I did when I started as well. Factorio, in my mind, is a logistics/building game, not a combat game. Playing without biters lets you learn the base building techniques.

As for not getting overwhelmed with the base, make sure to divide and conquer. Break up the next goal into smaller projects, and work on those one at a time.

Also, leave space between your assemblers. You can always build out more.

I should have mentioned this. For practical purposes, you can consider the map as infinite.

You will always try to expand, and at least, in my case, I've never thought "Damn, I wish I had left less space between ..."
