I dont mean like a literal loop, but gameplay loops that you cant automate.
This includes things like plopping down yet another mining base, plopping down yet more production, etc...
You can make blueprints for all theses things, but you can't automate the blueprint placing. Sometimes you need to reconfigure circuit stuff for special train stops, so they get the right products, and as far as I know this can't be done via blueprint.
It just gets tedious after a while, especially because it doesn't take all that much to build a rocket, making it unnecessary if you just want to beat the game.
