so I have spent more than 50 hours with my factory and I am posting a lot of pictures here. After about 30 hours, I got everything I needed and so I decided to optimize my factory on very low pollution (also to get some motivation to mine and produce more). Currently my pollution is very small, compared to the amount of production. Most buildings are running on -80% energy, some important buildings have even speed modules, or efficiency modules (oil industry). I am using a lot of power for beacons, but it creates no pollution

I have several simple mods installed: roadworks, floors, advance illumination (not much finished, but fun). In my factory, I am using the following floor color coding: red (copper smelting), yellow (iron smelting), green (electric circuit production), blue (science production). I have also one central storage and use logistic robots heavily for transporting advance materials.

Pictures follow:
Overview of the map. Bitters are behind walls, protected with laser turrets. But due to small pollution, no walls are actually much needed.

Zoom to the entire factory, again inside another walls. You can see a lot of solar panels and accumulators everywhere. Also I have a small train network.

The main advance circuit production area. You need tons of these for modules.

The top smelting area attached to train stations.

Main oil industry, produces tons of everything.

The bottom part of the base where I have started. Completely rebuild for very efficient smelting.

Production over almost the entire play-time. You can see everything growing. Small falls are due to energy crisis and also due to having everything produced. I have limits for every goods produced.

Energy graph for the entire play-time. You can see that power of smelters and oil have decreased after optimization. Also power of beacons is steadily growing.

The storage of all my goods. I use a global storage with active provider chests, and you can see the quantities of all my goods.

Blue science production, now on hold since nothing to research.
