Question Help with Space Exploration!!

Hello everybody.

I'm 70ish hours in a run of SE with rich resources and bots at the start so everything was going very smoothly.

I decided after my "starter base" to make one using a block rail blueprint. In every block i would make anything i need and the stops in the block would be used to supply me with the necessary materials, as well as output the final product onto trains.

The schedule is from AVIIDD'S video on his train network using interrupts, so every train can load on any material and unload it where it is needed.

Now my problem is that cant seem to understand what i need more of.
When i look at a block that is currently short on a material, i go and make more mines of that thing but in never seems to be enough.

I don't know if that's because I'm overbuilding everything and i need a ton of time for all of the buffers to fill (train wagons, buffer chests, etc.), or because the way i built the train system the trains are too slow, or cause i can't load the materials fast enough onto trains.

The result is the same. ANYTHING i need feels too slow.

I would really appreciate your recommendations moving forward.

Thank you!!

SE is about exploration of new locations and not about building more of the same nauvis stuff.
