Getting stuck on Early EV

So I've been in EV for a while, around 1.5 months or so. And, well... I don't even have power setup yet. I was planning to build a new power setup but it's just so much work to do, I have to wait for tungstate, build a bunch of processing machines, wait for my manyullyn to smelt, make around a stack of LV machine hulls, circuits, cables, fluid extracors, distillation towers, centrifuges, compressors, ICOs, advanced item collectors, large gas turbines... the list goes on. I've done around 30% of it and it's taken me this long, I've taken multiple breaks because it just felt such a large task. EV is supposed to be a "free" tier, yet I'm getting stuck on this, anyone can offer some help? This is kinda a vent post lol.
