re: the different planet discussion. I've been doing each planet with only local resources and it makes all of them have very very different early games. so yeah it feels like 5 different factorios so far. But yeah I agree Vulcanus was the easiest once I killed the first worm.
Also, the egg spoilage problem, you can lock up the machine by using logic, just make sure you dont overfeed or underfeed
Loops and bots, otherwise make sure to have nutrients from spoilage as your backup
