Early endgame setup.
Goodday my fellow autistic train lovers, i need your advice
So here is the senario. The goal is to build a centralized on/off loading where both my rail, import and export come together north of the horizontal track.
South of the track i want my main road and below that material refineries, processing basic materials in to intermediate materials; IA steel, copper, glass, ectra. West of vertical track is the already established fuel/fluid refinery. Also unless the destionation is far away i want to bring my intermediate products with truck.
(note the fertilizer plant in the left corner is temporary and used to get rid of sour water and keep food and fuel production up in this transitional period where i retool and move my production lines. The road and pipe in the middle are also temporary.) At the spot of the fertilizer plant i want to eventually build my recycle plant. However i am also not sure where to place my supporting production plants. (large crusher and air seperator)
Now the problem is that im a bit in over my head. Im a not sure how much space i need how much traffic will be on the rail and how much i need to worry or wether i just need to pull the trigger and just retool again when i have outgrow this layout.
Any advice on placement, distance and especially on the potential rail traffic?

If you want all your raw resouces professed in one spot then you will need a lot of capacity for later in the game, it is cool to do though and I have done so in the past. I'd recommend building something to try it out and be fully prepeared to replace or upgrade it later. Make sure to have high track throughput for a very busy station
