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.

Main bus early on at least until I have bots and trains. Then I usually transition to a distributed train network of specialized sub factories (plus usually one bot mall). Think city block (sub factories) but I just put stuff wherever there is room and I don't cram everything in an organized grid. I like working around lakes and having a more organically grown train network.
