That wiki page is crap, ignore it.

TCP is 2-3 times slower than UDP on a good connection. But the current map download is clearly bugged, so a working TCP implementation would be better.

Ok, so you put the fast inserter next to the belt and the smart inserter next to the chemical plant. I assume you will eventually have a 5-item inserter stack size, so you need to make sure there are 6 items in the chest. Combinator 1: Iron plate > 5 => 1 green signal Combinator 2: Copper plate > 5 ...

It's not just drills, your entire factory is running at 1/5 speed because you need more electricity.

That sounds like mods will never be able to keep someone from griefing? You can force everyone to install the same mod to join your server. (In 0.13 clients will auto-download the correct mods.) If a griefer tries to edit your mod they will be desynced. I believe there is a way for mods to discrimi...

Open file manager, go to %appdata%\Factorio and delete the mods folder.

All the positions are dumped directly from Factorio's internal state. You can try messing with them and see what happens, but I can't explain why.

At a certain level of complexity, you stop trying to explain how things work. The best you can do is give out a copy and explain how to plug it in.
