This, for me, certainly drove home how much I hate refactoring things. If I need to reconfigure my factory for some reason, beyond throwing in a little spaghetti and in-filling some gaps to add another few bits of production, I'll just waltz off into the distance a ways and start anew, piping in resources from the old factory as needed.

And then I run into bottlenecks arising from the utilization of the old factory and the process repeats itself.

I find your comment super interesting. I myself deeply enjoy refactoring as an activity in software, and I share that affinity towards it both in Factorio and Minecraft, where I'll deeply enjoy tearing down massive chunks of my base to reconstruct them slightly or completely differently.
