    I guess technically no exploration isn’t exactly true. There is some exploration in the sense that you have an insanely huge map with different shape resources and scroll around the map until you find the shape resource you want to use. But it’s not the kind of exploration where you have to clear the fog of war to see what’s out there. And you do use trains to move resources around because some of those distances can get pretty big.

      Yo did you notice the map is now shaped like a spiral instead of just white noise of shapes? I really like that. It also helps to find home much more easily. Really good call.

        I did notice that but I never used it to find home. There’s a hotkey to go straight to home, I think it’s “h” by default.

            Oh, I don’t think it works for that. I also don’t drag tracks home. I have main lines in each direction that go straight home so I just connect my nearest main line

              So I guess you somehow found home when you made those main lines. I just know you get where I’m going with this lol.

                I think you might be overthinking my solution. I go to the vortex and then go straight left, right, up or down some distance and then drag the train tracks straight back home. If I need to expand I just go the end of the track and continue going in that direction. And for use if I’m for example in the top right quadrant I know I just have to drag my factory tracks down or left and I’m guaranteed to hit my main tracks and from there I know it goes straight into the vortex.
