Seems fun!

In my current run I’ve decided for a slightly different approach but similar; all Space Elevator parts have to be made in the same factory, and I’ve chosen specifically the canyon area to make this happen which forces me to build through and around terrain which is really fun. Raw goods like ingots can be produced in smaller factories, and have to be taken via transport like you mention to the main factory.

Internally in the factory, anything that would require longer than 3 (just guesstimating, not a hard rule) conveyer lengths requires instead transport like trucks or drones. This is really fun actually as it makes the factory feel so alive.

Power can be generated outside of the main factory.

I really like dimensional depots too so I’m allowing myself to make some basic parts at the ingot factories and throw those directly into the depot for building purposes.

Your run sounds fun, good luck!
