I lost a lot of caravans when I first started playing, losing your carries is always such a huge blow when you're still getting going that I would just restart a lot. I'd usually recommend sticking to your base tile for a while outside of maybe trading caravans to nearby settlements until you have enough defenses you won't eat shit if you get raided while you have colonists on the world map.
Pyros are fairly manageable but you need to focus on building everything in stone, or you put them in to a walled off solitary confinement cell with a nutrient paste dispenser so if they do feel like burning down the countryside it's not gonna be a base wipe or they'll get heat exhaustion and collapse quickly.
I def feel like if I ever get done finishing this Dyson Sphere Program run and do another Factorio run I wanna give it another go. I need to do some research because I was mostly flying blind trying to learn along the way.
There's a lot of quality of life mods that make the AI less frustrating too, like making your colonists pick up everything in an area that they have the capacity to carry instead of one item at a time or allow you to tend wounds without the pawn having a sleeping spot.
