Not really. Some people are simply awful at puzzles.
I know what every single section of my factory does at all times. Constantly updating and adjusting efficiencies to adapt to changing circumstances. And I am unafraid to get my hands dirty with prototyping stations for memorising new methods of manufacture and production. I have even made my research facility aesthetically pleasing with a dual centrifuge (in the future it will be a triple centrifuge) built for constant automatic retrieval of resources and resupply, in a reversed rotary path for each belt.
Some people lack experience in working with material flows and don't have enough OCD to force them to organize everything into compact efficient modules that can be easily described.
My factory continues to grow as does the famed review, but I can tell at a glance what is going on in each section of it and adjust it accordingly. And it breaks down into distinct blocks for each task in order to maintain that integrity. In fact the only parts of it to even be remotely tangled are my oil refinery- which I just unlocked for the first time, and my research complex- where limitations on building space mean the belts got a bit knotted up and loop back on themselves.
I was just talking to KC about what I plan to do next time, building conveyors in a ring suitable to enclose 4 modules each with a 3x3 footprint and space for the loader and unloader hardware. Then I use smart inserters to add and remove material from this conveyor, controlled by smart boxes. Like so I think I can get it into a situation where a single conveyor is able to carry upwards of 6 different resources without plugging. I'd be able to apply the real-world concept of Just In Time manufacturing.
Feel free to PM me if anything is broken
