City blocks, bus, or other? (lemmy.ml)

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'm playing SEK2, so city blocks on Nauvis and a clusterfuck of trainery with the vague idea of city blocks except I just plop down blueprints and attempt to put rails around them.

I started out with LTN on Nauvis, but I figured out neat tricks on other planets that is more efficient and doesn't require depots. It seems like it's better practice to just load directly into trains with no buffers. I still have yet to solve the issue of refueling without a huge bot network to feed trains at every station.
