Mostly, I don't want to do a lot of time moving around between things. When I want to copy one thing into another thing, drag drop. I don't want to have to stop playing BG3 to preview email as it comes in. Stuff like that. I have friends that think it's silly, until they hop on to work on something and then they never want to mess with a single screen again.
makes sense and even i have to admit it sounds convenient but i will avoid a second monitor like the plague in part for i will probably as most be unable to go back to one monitor.
 
I could see getting a third but I would have to redo my entire desk setup and I'm too lazy for that. Right now I have no idea what I would do on a 4th screen though.
That's the thing. My entire desk is full of monitors, which is great, but I really wan to try a sideways one. I'm thinking a TV on the wall. Right now it's just a "what do you want?" question for myself, and I don't know the answer. Always looking for thoughts from folks that have tried out different setups.

I like dual screen just for this very reason. But I am only at my second monitor during the day, during "Work Hours" when I log off from work, I move down to the lounge. Then my "Second Monitor" is a TV with whatever I'm watching on haha.

I have 3 monitors, which works great because I can have my game or movie on my bigger monitor and then websites, Discord and whatnot on my other monitors.

I used to use an actual TV as my third monitor, but the resolution was some bizarre number like 1300x900 so a lot of games had trouble maximizing on it. I finally replaced it with a 2K monitor of about the same physical size.
 
Oh yeah, my main hub is still vastly more organized than what I had on my first playthrough in Update 8. I also decided to make a bunch of smaller bases with tractors carrying stuff back to the main base so it's not as crowded, although one of the reorganization things I really want to do put down some dedicated vehicle paths since currently they just kind of drive around the belts and miners.
Only thing I would suggest is to preplan train depots. Where you plan on placing them. I've found for myself that the tractors sadly aren't reliable enough. I've had the paths break multiple times, or they used to.

As for buildings in the air I always build a support system even if it's not needed to make it more aesthetic
 
I have went back and rebuilt factories so many times to make more efficient, better layouts, etc. Honestly one of the biggest updates I read about in the 1.0 update is the 90 degree turns making your belts so much better.
That is kind of a game changer, soo easy to make "good" looking belts now! :p

Recently started getting into the tractors and trucks, made dedicated highways in the blueprint machine! :p

I have mine on monitor arms so I can turn the screens sideways if I need it. Maybe that's an option for you? A fixed sideways screen would see very little use on my pc I think.

I have crappy arms on my workstation at the office, but I've seen really nice ones. Mostly at the office when I move one it's a pain to get it back in the right place. I have some OCD about that. But it's a nice idea. Perhaps I'll poke around and see if there is something more professional to get that would be easy to rotate and rotate back. Thanks for the tip.

I don't know if I'll really like the rotated view either. I've seen people use it on TV and stuff, but don't know people actually like it after they try it. I suppose I could duct tape one of my monitors in place to try it.
