Just figured out that I can start a custom map and turn off the biters.
Been playing into the wee mornings for a week now. Got into the logic system heavily.
I'm optimising production in my sleep now. Send help. Can't stop.

With logic I can connect the input or output inserter to the roboport and only feed items to the chests if the total number of items in the robot network is under a certain amount.
The other big use is cycling power between solar and steam. Plug in the steam power's water pump to an accumulator and set it to turn off when the accumulator capacity is over, say, 50%. This way you won't feed excess power to the network and waste fuel.
My base is a total clusterfuck and not a perfect city grid of maximised train-based transports to hyper-optimised factory blueprints. Just the way I like it.
