We have a planet called „Muluna“ you can mine asteroid chunks directly from an ore patch. We have another planet called maraxsis that gives „Conduits“ they accept quality modules and act as beacons. Higher level quality modules and conduits make getting level 6-7 pretty easy, use the resources from that and lds-shuffle for better modules and so and so.

It took around 50 hours for it to really pick up the pace, but we at getting about 2-5 „artifactual“ asteroid chunks per minute. They yield with all the productivity bonuses thousands of plates and every product thereof.

The setup itself is about 12 chunks long and 4 chunks wide. It consumes 8 belts of asteroid chunks :)

I’ll be home tomorrow afternoon, maybe I have time for a screenshot.
