As your location seems to be the same as cerys in my map, i would suggest to move it to 9 o'clock position

I have not played it ( will need some time to get to fulgora for me), just loaded and some checks

I don't know what you have in mind for your mod but i just post my thoughs on this

At the moment i don't see a real reason to go there, seems to be a connection exercise with trains ( here as we can say it worked once you could also strew some remains of some broken or not raul thingies for style and nicies)
As for resources and this all fulgora and vulcanus both have plenty
Just some gel is something not much

Rewards seems to be not very good either ( i see adding the loaders, but it feels like an emergency token)

I would think even such an artifical manufacturing hub should be feed somehow - so why not a hub which needs to be feed by some chunks or even small asteroids( if the can be set to get fetched) which need to be fetched by some spaceships.

You have an manufacturing hub in space, so i would suggest to the the space route and have belts/pipes/inserters/assemblers and what not all for spaceplatform use ( you even could as an option? maybe prevent the higher tiers (ie. turbo belts, foundry and so on) to be placeable on spaceplatforms to have an need for spaceoptimized items) ; assemblers and such could be also spacespecial by your mod after some research which should be better ( probably some inherint productivity?) for Example a space platform foundry which can work without calcite and is faster even, or a space smelter based on the electrical one, which maybe can work directly with the chunks or asteroids
Making the things a little more special you probably could require a heat source above 800°C for this space optimized assemblers

Maybe the mods own crushing recipes could be more effective and can probably hand out some missing resources like oil (some sandstones from the carbonic ones)
You can use the gel for spacey things and probably some higher tier modules, to find its place ?

In the end you maybe can use also some special gfx for the trains (space-trains)/ belts ( tube like) to have it in style with space ( at least the space trains exists as a mod)...

If i am wrong - please be kind :-)

Some interesting ideas in there, I quite like the idea of bringing asteroid chunks down to forgeworld. As for adding something more rewarding, I’ll mull over that a bit more. I mainly wanted forgeworld to be strong on its own intrinsic motivation of solving the supply/demand puzzle, maybe it could unlock some cool rail-related tech.
