tl;dr Helpful pointers and constructive criticism wanted.
This is about my fourth factory. How can it be more efficient? The goal is to have this factory as compact as possible. Only iron and copper are to be on the transport belt. All factories are in an 'X' configuration (two above and two below).
The purpose is to have a place where all raw materials can be researched and possibly a starting point to make a huge base; a stepping stone, if you will. There's not enough pollution to attract biters (production modules in labs, efficiency modules in everything else).
I find it beautiful how everything in Factorio revolves around the Tier 1 'electronic circuit'.
Image edited for clarity (removed DyTech, and module factory).
A) Likely will combine the output belts by moving the Fe and Cu furnaces closer together vertically
B) Move research closer to Roboport for faster drop-off
C) Electrical cables are a mess, may put in a sub-station (if it will even fit)
D) Smart inserters set to <~100 for research vials via logistic network
I have yet to research factory ratios (all I know is that a copper wire factory can feed a ton of other factories).

Getting the ratios right is more important than compact.

I like your oil production cascade!
One blue science - you will definitely want more.
