Some of it, yes. Some of the more detailed bits (e.g. "if I do this will station A import or export Polymers?") we don't have enough data on.

Sorry, but INARA doesn't show what orbit your Coriolis is in, and it's not quite clear what other refineries we're talking about, since the others are still under construction.Nope, not anymore.
Anvil's pride is now a megaton supplier

With population changes, any T3 will kick ass with two refineries, or around a rocky planet.
My current refinery can serve multiple fleet carriers at once. It is a Coriolis with 4 Refineries and a space farm. 100k supply. It's not running out anytime soon and serving the upper Orion Arm.

With the population changes we now have megaton supplies in decent T3 facilities. So supply really isn't the issue anymore. (Edit: of course, making mistakes in the economy setup will cost you dearly)

Dont understand the question. This is a 4 refinery 1 spacefarm station. No other strong links. It orbits planet 10, a terraformable HMC.Sorry, but INARA doesn't show what orbit your Coriolis is in, and it's not quite clear what other refineries we're talking about, since the others are still under construction.

The other refinery i was talking about was Anvil's Pride in some Pleiades system.
Yes, in the beginning it was hard to build a good refinery, because you needed like 3 Refinery hubs and no other influence. Plus stuff like building the port first, etc.
1 Refinery Hub stations could get sucked dry by 1-2 players.
2 Refinery hubs by 2-4 players.
But that was when a Coriolis had 15k pops. Now a Coriolis has mid-six-figure pops.
The station i linked, VWS, just increased it's supply over the weekly tick to 120k Steel and Titanium, system pop went up to 600k, and it is still the only port in the system.
So from my point of view building a T3 port is a mistake, unless you want to go for double digit million population or more. From a commodity supply perspective it isnt needed. And from a population perspective you reach single digit millions with two T1 planetary ports.
Edit: two other stations we built are Daisy Chain Gateway Coriolis ( check out the DCG song https://suno.com/song/9ee9b3cf-17d5-4a21-abfb-147055422176 for insights in the emotional state of colonizers) above Eames Constructions T3 starport. Unlimited refinery products.

And you can build six T1 planetary ports for the same tonnage as a single T3 orbital, too (with ports 2-6 immediately benefiting from the earlier ones, while the T3 supplies all have to be brought in from elsewhere)
T3s do have the advantage as noted in today's patch notes that they (should) have all services active by default, so can be useful for introducing that to a system without having to build other things which would weak link onto economies you want. But if you're primarily intending it as a supply station for onward construction it doesn't need cartographics, shipyard, etc. anyway.

They also have the advantage of the 'max pop growth' stat and that they look cool. Although the T1s also look cool.
I will plop down a T3 port construction site in my main system once enough T3 points are there. Rather do that than wasting those points. But not because i need it or because it makes any sense.
Absolutely invaluable OP. Everything I needed in one document to help get me started.
The forum here is very cluttered with information of various usefullness with regards to colonisation, and is difficult for me to go through efficiently and methodically, but your document sums everything up very effectively and has the best links to the best available resources all in one place.
Now, I wonder if I can recruit some PTN players to help me fill up the FC with a few profitable buy orders when building the T3 port later to help save me a little time when doing that one?

DM me a short blurb and where you want link to go (discord, etc)
Nah already
Nah already have those thank you.
Not familiar with those, but pretty confident you can “print it to pdf” and carry it around that way if you fancy.
I saw list of issues, and thought maybe you could help with the problem of systems missing primary port location?
forums.frontier.co.uk
Systems lack primary port location
It appears like this is a recurring issue: primary port location (flag icon instead of plus sign; which SHOULD be more distinct imo) is not present on system map, which also leads to primary port configuration menu being broken (empty). Issue here is that these systems exist, but individual...

Indeed, PDF works.
Strange, Libreoffice is usually very much compatible with M$ Office, which i refuse to use.
Except this is Google Docs. Nothing to do with MSFT Office
.And now it turns out it has nothing to do with the ODF either.Except this is Google Docs. Nothing to do with MSFT Office
Releasing this in ODF (open) or PDF (closed but functionally universal and available offline / non-interactive) would have made much more sense. Having it in gdoc format is just as limiting as having it in Microsoft format, just with a different vendor. And "distributing" it by having everyone log into Google Docs and then figuring out how to make a version that's useful to them is also suboptimal.
I'll leave it up to the author as to whether he accepts this feedback or comes up with weird unrelated points in an attempt to defend these weird choices.

As a "live" document a Google Doc is the most practical (unless someone wanted to make a full-blown wiki).
How many of the intended audience, as a percentage, are expecting to use this as a live document?
re Wikis, there is talk around making the BGS guide into a Wiki but another problem the community has is that Fandom have chosen to make themselves unusable with autoplay ads and whatnot. Maybe worth looking into GitHub or something similar.

Linking to a Google Document allows the author to make changes to the guide without needing to re-distribute the guide.
If I now bookmark a specific section, eg "Initial Population" I can bookmark this URL, and even if the author makes changes, adds stuff, removes stuff, as long as this chapter remains intact, the URL will continue working.
So you can 'release' it yourself, and save the URL as the source to export new versions from as they are released. How is that not good?

You don't have to log in to view the document. You can also download the document as PDF, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, ZIP, EPUB or MD.

I feel like my argument is not weird or unrelated at all but rather makes sense, wouldn't you (at least somewhat) agree? You seem to have some deep, intense disgust of Microsoft.. You do you, just download the ODF version. Someone else might have an Office-365 subscription and prefer .DOCX because they have everything in .DOCX.
