Satisfactory's developers had no idea how popular its 1.0 launch was going to be: 'We try not to focus too much on that stuff and just make it as big as we possibly can' (www.pcgamer.com)

If you ever give it another shot, I'd highly recommend going vertical with your factories. You can do each step of a production chain in a different floor to keep your factories smaller. As the machines in the game are very large, verticality helps a lot with the space management. Another tip to make it less complicated would be to use the satisfactory tools website. There you can specify production per minute for an item and it lists you the whole production chain.

Ya I did go vertical in my last attempt, but I could only fit 24 smelters on the first floor and then got to tier 5 and unlocked more stuff which put me over the edge of needing more I needed to build a second factory or a new floor on top with more smelters and it just got super complicated for me, needing to send ore to two different spots and organizing the ingots going everywhere I needed. I also have a thing about organization, symmetry, and logic and I just could not find a "satisfactory" way to build it knowing once I unlocked a new tier, without knowing what I would need ahead of time, everything I built would probably need to be redone at some point again
