A few questions about how I should expand further (lemmy.ml)

Im cirrently on Tier 2, I have not built the Space elevator yet, but I have really big problems with the assemblers

So, I currently have 2 iron Plants: 1 with a 120/min drill, going into 3 smelters, 2 of them producing iron Plates and 1 being split into iron rods and the iron cast screws

And now I built a second plant from right besides it with 180/min, going into 6 30/min smelters, however even the mk2 conveyor bottlenecks the smelters

However even this way I still only produce enough screws for the rotors, so I still need another 60/min for the reinforced plates

So since I dont have a third iron node by the next 300m my only options are basically to either turn the whole plant into a plate and rod plant each and get a third one from somewhere to get the screws, or I can just redirect the screws from the other plant and let the rotors lag behind

If anyone had other ideas, I would appreciate it

Also, as a bonus: How in Ficsits godforgiven name can I scale these assemblers? Like, If I need 2 Iron entire Pure grade iron plants to build even 1 assembler for each, and the mk2 smelters and stuff only unlock once I got to Tier 3 or 4 already, how can I realistically even finish the Space Elevator project?

You probably won't need much for the first phases.

Make sure you are putting outputs into containers, it's better to have a big stock of items than a higher rate. If you need to wait for parts, go out exploring, you'll find the containers half full before you know it. You never know, you might find something to help you out, or something for the MAM.

In general build small plants to produce building resources, then use separate ones for the project parts. A 4/min setup for smart plates only needs ~100 ore a minute, (less than two normals.) That will give you the initial 50 in a short time, and probably the phase 2 amount by the time you have figured out a decent sized coal plant.

As you get on you'll hopefully find more efficient recipes or other ways to increase your production capability.
