Careful about too many trees! Trees are the real enemy. I think you'll do great - real trick is to just always know what's next so you don't waste time. Having a good set of blueprints doesn't hurt either

What’s wrong with trees? Just annoying to clear or something else?

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah, annoying to clear and not very useful after you get past basic power poles. They have a secondary benefits of messing with biter pathing and absorbing pollution, but for speedrun achievements (and even normal play IMO), trees shouldn't be tweaked upwards

Yeah the speedruns usually use a desert seed and rely on coal rocks.
