I am 83 hours in on my first Factorio game, and it's a mess. I turned on abundant resources, but they are all so far away. Now I have underground belts everywhere, no concrete (do I need it?), and electric poles strewn about as needed. It's an organic mess. Should I start over? Or try to clean it up?

The videos I see have these neat and tidy flows of abundant resources. Do they just fix the mess they began with later in the game, or did they really plan that far ahead?
Peaceful Mode?
Is it ok turn on peaceful mode in this first go round?
How to Manufacture Large Quantities of Research Packs?
I am generating tons of Iron Plates, Copper Plates, Green, Red and Blue circuit boards, etc, but not able to generate large quantities of Chemical (Blue) Science Packs. They tend to take much, much longer than the other ones. I have three Assembling Machines at work on these blue packs, but they always run out during research. I have 2 Speed Modules in each of them too. Help?
QOL Mods
I have seen many recommendations for:
- Even Distribution
- Bottleneck
- Squeak Thru
- EvoGUI
What other mods do people use by default?
