Very few designs are actually that difficult to reproduce. The important thing is knowing the ratios of resources/buildings that need to be made to stay efficient. You can pretty easily calculate that by hand (but why would you) but there are tools online where you can do that.

There’s also the “aesthetics” of what you end up building. I like my factory to look a certain way. There’s sort of three phases of playing Factorio.

1) learning the game, making spaghetti

2) pulling in other blueprints, reaching the end game

3) creating your own blueprints, reaching the mountains of madness
