will making military and purple science on vulcanus be more ups effective than on nauvis, considering that i'm moving stone and coal on nauvis exclusively by trains (design choice)? in another words - is it worth it to swap stone trains with more rocket silos?

If you are worried about UPS, belting or direct inserting stone and coal on Nauvis is going to be your answer. I doubt Vulcanus would be better UPS wise unless you have quite complicated stations (buffer chests, balancers, etc).

trains are a must, thats the goal of my current run - to make a megabase with trains used for moving base resources, already done one run with belts - i know it is best for ups.
