Here's the mod you want

Regarding the mod you mention, I installed it and couldn't get it to work haha.

There's probably a fork that does then.

But I'm not sure how much ore patch vatiation will matter. You just slap miners on everything inside your perimiter regardless, because ores are too close together for mining outposts even on the lowest frequency settings. And building anything on ore patches that isn't mines is blasphamy. I guess ...

Floating point error:

Shown easily with the following setup:

Assembler 3s with 4 Prod 3s. 8 Speed 3 Beacons per assembler. 7.7 Vanilla Red Science per second should need 5 assemblers.

Helmod says 6. Floating point issue confirmed by asking for 7.69r Red Science per second.

What’s your preferred smelting setup and why? Standard Speedrunner stone/steel furnace arrays using inserters for coal early game. 14 electric furnaces in 8/8 beacon lines late game. How do you manage the balance between efficiency and pollution? Nuclear power and artillery ("Damn the torpedoe...

Ore generation being biome-influenced sounds cool. Especially with the new terrain generation. (I still want ore and biters at the ends of forest paths) But I'm not sure how much ore patch vatiation will matter.

That's absolutely mod territory, and very straightforward to to.

But its a lot of effort.

In fact I would say a full belt will usually give you less ore per second A full belt is 15/30/45 ore per second, regardless of how you load it. A miner that is blocked is just wasted resources, hence why you should not overlap miners when the ore field is large enough to fill the belt without it. ...

The amount of aliens you have to kill and mining outposts you have to build for N ore is also the same.

But not the ore per second.

Ore per second per outpost is the metric to use, since it gets you the most full belts with the fewest outposts.

Ore in the ground is ore you aren't using.

You're getting a few things wrong. First off, all stations in both systems should have train limits and stackers. All stations should never have their train limit be above their stacker size. The main practical difference is in which station "owns" the trains. In a push system, the mines o...

How does this compare to a cloverleaf interchange? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverleaf_interchange Cloverleafs are terrible. You want something topologically equivilent to a stack interchange. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_interchange) […] Sidenote: The stack won't happen anytime soon i...

Why not switch to a pull system, and have your trains assosiated with your unloaders, instead of your loaders? Because it is more complex, if you solve the problem that trains need some time to drive from one station to the other. If there is not enough buffer, it might happen a train doesn't arriv...

Resource patches more far away are 60x60 tiles at maximum, so I created a blueprint in map editor that covers this area in a manner similar to your screenshot (miners next to each other, 1 tile space for power poles). At one end, there is a station in the blueprint including a waiting area for 2 ad...

How about if closed gates were treated as a wagon on the tracks?

+1 for getting examples of the new blueprint formatting before release.

Agreed, but a spec is worth an infinity of example blueprints.

A spec is good, but examples let you test.

Inserter set to activate based on logistics network instead of circuit network, but because it wasn't in a logistics network it was always off. They then spent a long, long time troubleshooting it without realising that it wasn't in a logistics network. So they want some form of indicator that an en...

I've not tried the mod Illiander42 suggested but it looks good (aside from the fact it's not been updated for over three years, which makes various problems more likely).

It's been updated since the last major Factorio version, and it worked fine the last time I used it.

Why do you want to quickly rename stations?
