If you can make some assumptions like train length and loading/unloading station design, you can probably guess how many trains you need to supply a given design, which means you can probably automate the placement of resource collection outposts.
You'd need some empirical data on train acceleration and top speed, but once you have that plus some generous assumptions about latency tolerances, you can probably automatically lay out tracks and train routes and resource outposts.

- bregma 6y agoWelcome to Factorio, the game where the goal is to automate your automation of automation.
