Or alternatively take a Moore's law view: the original factory remains there forever, eclipsed by the much larger, more orderly and modular, one build next to it.

Walk speed is a surprisingly big constraint on the early game, until you get various upgrades; you build a small factory because you don't want to walk round a larger one.

Walk speed is a metaphor for the AWS budget.

exactly, the original factory is likely the construction/logistic bot production center, it'd be slow but not necessarily inefficient, so it can stay while the bot build the modular factory elsewhere
