I don't know what is your main issue so let me just throw some ideas:
- diesel machines don't reqiure electricity, if you use them you can create network of ships that distribute fuel between islands
- try to use barrels as transportable power source
- coconut have long shelf life, you can make whole islands dedicated just too farming
- use delivery drones to help with expansion
They should be good at providing you with "this single stack of items you forgot but now ypu are far away from base"
- new concrete recipe allows you to make orbital station that makes concrete
- 1 island = 1 thing. You don't have a lot of space so build dedicated mining, farming, processing islands etc
- poison rockets should not hurt nests, it could be usefull when farming eggs for copper
- electric pumps can be connected directly to oil rigs to use them with tankers(without wooden platform, foundation or landfill)
- if 2 or more oil rigs are close you can connect them with pipe so they share fluid tanks space
