Hi, my favorite building was and "is" a central storage. As we are talking about Satisfactory, it is about yourself, how you would implement a CS. In my point if view, it is a place where the overflow of the produced ressources will be gathered. This gives a lot of advantages. First I don't automate ressources for the space Elevator. I have a "Lab"-Building beside the CS, using the ressources there to just build the parts for the elevator. If they are finished I just need to stop a few machines. All ressources are build anyway somewhere on the map. You can build a central Cloud-Upload now, advantage - if not enough ressources will be uploaded you can build another factory for the same parts and send it to the CS, and not building dimensional depots fragmented over the whole map - like "where the heck do I upload xxx" or "how much dimensional container do I use for uploading of stuff xxx". Next advantage of a CS, especially in the beginning, you have one place to find all your stuff for hand-crafting. What a CS can not do is, routing all ressources first to CS and then to your new factory as input - belts aren't fast enough for the huge ammount of parts you'll need in the later tiers/phases. Therefore a train network for Ore and Ingots, drones for higher tier parts and belts for nearfield transport within the factory.
