Ok

One red belt of stone should be enough to supply 48 Steel furnaces.
I had a shortage of stone bricks, made sure there was enough stone coming in, made sure all belts are red, even remade the furnace stack elsewhere, but it did the same thing - at all time there are no more than 24 furnaces working ...

You can check how it works on Nauvis, large patches, evenly distributed, means less train stations.
There is a problem on Vulcanus, here is a comparison between Calcite and Tungsten, 3800 radius revealed:

I use 17% frequency, 600/600 size and richness, for all resources.

Works well on Nauvis, on Vulcanus with these settings there are tons of Calcite and Sulphuric patches, but very few Tungsten and Coal patches, I had to reveal the map with 4000 radius just to find a few:

I feel kind of forced to solve puzzles, instead of having all the tools (somewhat accessible - like cliff explosives and elevated rails, or bots and walking on the space platform) and be able to make anything anywhere.

Ok, I put in 50 into each because I had an inventory full of coal.

Created the row of furnaces with inserters, added 50 coal to furnaces before adding electricity, now the inserter will not pick up copper ore. Need to manually remove coal from furnaces, then the inserter starts working.

I have certain options when starting a new game, I want to be able to save them as a preset.

At start, the 600% richness is too close to the scroll down bar.
