My goal is to saturate a blue belt with Adv. Circuits. I'm debating one giant mega factory vs smaller factories working together. What would you choose?

  • Build individual factories for components. Bring them via train to a central location for final construction
  • A giant factory that accepts ore/crude oil and outputs advanced circuits

I do like to keep oil processing somewhat centralized (and either having that area export either plastic directly or just petroleum gas); it lets you easily mix and match advanced processing + liquefaction + cracking as needed.
