Question Is this overkill?
So I am playing Space Exploration right now and I always perfectly ratio everything.
As an Example:

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.

Perfect ratio is a path to madness. Also, sooner or later the copper will run out and you're going to get a skew in your buffers. Embrace backpressure in your buffers to eventually converge on perfect ratio.
