Was curious how people design their factories. I typically do a main bus but decided to try city blocks this time and use a lot of trains.

I personally prefer main bus, but with train pickup/dropoff spots for high usage items like plates, circuits, fluids, etc. The processing areas aren't "city blocks" per se, but little stations for processing specific items, if that makes sense. Reason being, if I put copper plates on the bus and that feeds directly into circuit production, then space on my bus is being taken up to create intermediate products
