Assuming a fairly large number of players, 6 or 7, and building quite large base eventaully but not a "genuine megabase", what amount of data would Factorio be using per hour?

And how playable would 0.14 MP be using a wireless device for the Internet connection, such as a smart phone, in terms of lag? (Yes, this question is very much related to the previous one.)

Nobody has any idea what the answer might be?

Sorry, I have never tested, as I never play multi :). This can be quite easily achieved by ... measuring it with a software like Glasswire (just the free version is totally OK). It's available on Steam, and pretty straightforward to use.
