After having solved and built most of the typical contraptions a few times I now like to make clean, simple and well ordered builds. Cleanliness and compactness also enables me to focus on more advanced engineering. Mods help.
Below is the set of mods I am using for spaghetti reduction. All of them save on space and mess, but require extra resources and assembler time in return. I tend to use these mods only at specific locations like stations, while keeping most of my builds vanilla.
I am wondering if there are other mods that I should consider?
LTN - for cleaner train handling. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogisticTrainNetwork)
Bulk Loaders - Better than chests and inserters, makes stations simpler/cleaner and its large buffer helps with supply. I also use it as a temporary "huge chest" during redesigns. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/railloader)
Miniloaders - Full belt "inserters". Major station spaghetti reduction. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader)
Luzivras Factorio Power - Allows me to condense solar arrays to a single panel and accumulator. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Luzivras_Factorio_Power)
Mods for OCD compact/clean builds
