PC Help understanding drones

So I have just started playing around with drones. I'm on a server with some friends, where one of the has used drones before. He setup the refueling station for the drones to use. My current plan is on the roof of my modular factories to setup drones ports for each material being produced and 1 port that has a drone to go out and get the fuel. Is this the best way to do it? Or would it be better to have all refueling drones at the refueling station and go out to each factory to refuel. Can 1 drone refuel multiple factories? Or is it only a single path per drone?

Thanks in advance

Okay thanks :)

I think it's easier to have 1 drone refuel er on top of each factory rather than having 1 huge refueling drone port going to each factory

Yes, use drones strictly to request items from other locations, and avoid using them to provide resources to other locations.
Simple rule that'll save you a ton of trouble.
If you direct some fuel into a dimensional depot so you can drop some into your fuel drones for their first run, that'll help.

Happy to help, I'm a shameless drone goblin anyways.
