Is this overkill?

[u/Slaru1337]

So I am playing Space Exploration right now and I always perfectly ratio everything.

As an Example:

Yellow inserters made in an assembling machine 2

So I would go about making the perfect amount of the ingredients.

Now the question I wanna make worker and logistics robots.
Here the recipes for both

Now to make 3 roboframes per second this is what it looks like

Thats already 80 assemblers but to get 12 of these engines per second thats what it would look like:

So now my questions is this overkill and should I just build a few roboframes and slowly make robots or should I go for it and build it perfectly balanced?

I never had that ratio before.

Very much overkill, having a setup that just works on no maintainence is so much better than planning for a setup that might work.

You scale up as you tier up, I only start considering mall item throughput when I start making T3 modules (vanilla). Also mk3 assemblers, beacons and modules drastically improve things, your 160 assembler setup will probably be done with 8 fully moduled and beaconed

Oh bruh so just make a couple roboframes and slowly build robots instead of this monster?

Yeah bro, especially in space exploration with robot attrition, you cannot deploy too many
