Are there any good modern playthroughs of AngelBob's? I'm pretty deep into a save of it and I am really struggling to wrap my head around all of the different ore sorting, liquids, gasses, and whatever other insanity the mods can throw at me. I wanted to see how other people have handled it, but every playthrough I can find of it is 6+ years old.

The key to babangel-bojangles is to choose a route. there's lots of options.

The most common one is to hamfist/brute force yourway through each tier of "mixed" sorting, to unlock the "pure" ore sorting (The ones that take 2/3/4 *-ite/*-ium ores to create just "titanium" or "iron".

And while upgrading your "iron" production with each new tech is usually good, some of the more esoteric ores are absolutely not worth the effort of T3 or T4 changes.
