💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the early circuit network to set up basic production counters or smart inserters to manage your base more efficiently.
- Combine with early logistic bots if you have other mods, but be aware that circuit network items still require red science to craft.
- If you're new to circuits, start with simple decider combinators to control belt balancing before moving to complex builds.
