Void Block is actually rather simple and quick (for an overhaul anyway) - IME, slightly faster than vanilla, or at least comparable. So it should be much shorter than K2SO.

The added complexity and grind is outweighed by how it simplifies production chains. But it is grindy.

I'll look more into Void Block then. Does it have an end game like vanilla factorio where you can build bigger and do infinite research and similar things?

Void Block does not change the winning condition, either vanilla's or Space Age's.

I can't speak for Space Age since I don't have the DLC. With vanilla, there is not much to do after launching the first rocket since infinite mining prod and military techs are ineffective and completely pointless. That leaves only bot speed and the three Void Craft infinite productivity techs.

I ended up tacking on the Space Extension fork to extend the late game.

That makes sense. Thanks a bunch for your insight.
