    I mean it's space inefficient, but if you've got more than 1 person working on the factory, it makes it so much faster to expand and keep your assemblers running at max speed.

    You never have to ask "Where's the stator line", "Where can I fit another computer line", or "why is this bottlenecked" since it's immediately obvious just looking at any assembler line.

      Or you could just use dedicated train supply networks for Iron/Steel/Copper/Oil etc and only do the most advanced assembly in the primary hub. That way you easily know where everything is and if it's running out too fast and you need to slot in a new feed into your train loop.
