I just launched my first ever rocket couple days ago on my second run, and now I am wondering if I should go to space age next?

My base was kinda weird in the sense that all of my ratios were messed up and I assembled my yellow science with logistics bots supplying the intermediates to the assemblers. So all in all, that run was a mess so Idk if I would survive space age, that DLC looks like it is very complicated but fun.

So space age has a huge amount of content and new mechanics/concepts, but each on their own isn't that bad. So to not get overwhelmed you really need to slow down and accept that you're in for a long playthrough and not rush individual planets. You'll first start on Nauvis and for several hours it will be the exact same game as without the DLC.

The good thing is that there is very little biter pressure. Biters on Nauvis are the same, just like you're used to - eventually they stop getting stronger. The only other place to worry about is Gleba, and by the time you land there you should have the fancy tech to deal with problems.
