basic factory cost for Electronic Cricuit is 280ore, while Bioflux is 3Egg+462.5ore

LoL. Then Vulcanus is a god of difficulty, because by your brilliant method you need to add cost of 4 foundries. Do not forget to add cost of whole oil setup, necessary to get lubricant for crafting these foundries. GLHF.

Good, so Pumpjack=67.5, Oil Refinery=150, Chemical Plant=52.5

Minimal Foundry Setup is 1 Pumpjack + 1 Oil Refinery + 4 Chemical Plant + 7 Assembler2 aka 805.5 ores, you are correct it do seems more expansive than gleba,
and make no mistake, it do take ages to manually mining for iron just to accumulate enough steel for the first two foundry, and then you get instant 3.75ore/s that is 15 burner mining drills and you can add 2 more foundry just reach about 9ore/s and the whole iron production steup is literary easy and never fails. The equivalent setup in gleba is just 4 jellynut processing insert into 4 gambling bacteria and have 1.2ore/s, and we are just ignoring the nutrient and spoilage input, just look wtf is going on there.

and this is new iteration:
