* Let's start with easy thing. I use display to see current state of liquids, science pack reserve, other things. And I put all of these display together in "dashboard". Than I use "pin" (alt + rclick) to make this dashboard available from anywhere:

* standard calculations should be based not on random numbers like 100 items per minute or 1000 items per minute, but on logistic limits, which are:
green stacked turbobelt brings 14400 items per minute. If you need more - you will need more turbobelts. And you need 4 legendary stack inserters to fill green turbobelt.
* Trains in Space Age are not effective. Majority of items are moved to liquids, and the rest are stone and coal, turbobelt is more effecient than you think, if you are use tanks:

* Quality. I do not like to gamble items of all qualities, so I prefer to reach Aquilo, learn legendary quality and optimize all gabling for legendary, instead of collect each item of each quality. This takes much less time. Of course you need some items to be build with lesser quality (guns with different ranges, for example)
* Also, asteroids - the best way to receive legendary basic materials. For the rest things, I use pretty slow, but very small constructions to receive legendary products:

The most complicated was gleba things because of spoilage:

* Space platforms.
Do not spend a lot of ammo on side asteroids. Concentrate guns in front, and keep just 1-2 guns in middle, to cover your ship during orbit. It save a lot of ammo/asteroids/electricity for you.
The same about Asteroid collectors - amount of asteroids in front of platform and on side are very different, so there is no need to put them on side.
Almost all my platforms are using only solar panels (even for aquilo, but in this case maybe you need quality). And only promethium platform have fusion reactor.
After researching asteroid reprocessor, there is no need to filter them, just convert to what you need. It saves a lot of belts.
Example of typical mid-late Aquilo platform:

The best way how to cleanup tons of bugs - actually I found two different ways for now.
If you want action - discharge defense. Legendary armor, 3 portable fusion reactors and you can clean cities.
Standard legendary set: 3 portable fusion reactors, 4-6 exoskeleton, 4 energy shields, 1-2 personal lasers (useful to highlight anything alive here), and fill the rest with discharge defence. You will able to clean 600% bugs cities non-stop. On Gleba too.
If you want just to clean them without fun, build a set of spidertrons with personal lasers. 10-15 in squad, And they will just cleanup everything remotely.
I think it is pretty useful things I wanted to share. Have a nice day.
