Does it ever let up?

I had this game in my wish list for quite sometime and only a couple days ago decided to buy it after stumbling across this sub and thinking it does look pretty cool, I’ve already sunk 20 hours into my first map, only barely producing red and green science, but the only thing I can think about is what’s next or what to do differently when not on the game, I never believed this game would be as addictive as everyone described, learning and planning the most efficient ways to produce stuff is definitely my funnest part
