Design patterns

Hi ! It's been 3 weeks I am playing this game. I am already fully addicted, I even surprised myself drawing diagrams.

Today I tend to try to maximise the production for each mine I find but they are far from each other and sometimes it is not fully optimal (probably because I did not unlock everything).

This technique works but I am contemplating the idea of centralisation, like all the iron production goes directly to a big storage area with containers and then I redistribute it to the other production pipeline.

If I do that it will be a lot of work, is it a stupid idea ? What should I be aware of ?

Also, am I taking this too seriously ?

Have a good day
