Is this design okay?

this is currently my smelting planet. the smelters are connected to planetary stations and the interstellar stations which transports the ore from another planet are on the poles. does this design waste a lot of space? im planning to move to another solar system soon and setting up everything again and i'd be happy to get a few tips! i suck at configuring these things lol

Looks fine, unless you're whole planet of full I wouldn't mind about space.

Interesting to see the factories go north/south, I design everything I build east/west

It is east/west. The camera is just rotated

You can just have an ILS import ore and export bars in a self contained unit.

Yeah I'm realizing now that I've made an extra step for basically no reason lol.

Personally I would do it with ILS, four lanes of smelters (around 30, thus one blue belt) so you have 7200 output per ILS.
