I made it for the challenge, so not much beneficial about this mod whether you use it from the beginning, middle, or end.

Your question is also too subjective really to give an answer. I personally always play with having to make giga-factories at the Landing Zone so every single part in T1 - T3 is available through automation. Quite a chore making 700+ Buildings just for the "starter equipment/supplies" to THEN get started playing. =)

So would you say it's better to start over with this game so it's balanced with itself from the beginning, or is it just as good (beneficial) to just to run it with advanced progress?
