Comparable in cost? No.
Trains are the next most expensive, and definitely the best option for going to/from remote locations.
WAY up past trains are massed logistic bots.

Best option in terms of cost, reliability, and flexibility, are parallel belts.

If you're running more than two cargo wagons per train, and have the trains loaded and unloaded ASAP (somewhere around 10sec in the mid-late game) then trains will be better throughput, and also more space efficient, assuming you have the space to accommodate their turns.
If you're not using a highly populated train network, or are running less than two full cargo wagons per train, then two parallel red belts wins the throughput easily. Three yellows also win easily, two depends on how far below two full wagons.

An old (relatively speaking) rule of thumb was anything less than 3 radar vision distances away is better to use belts. Something between 400-500 tiles.

I know that this thread is dead and all, but I didn't want to create a new one.

I got Factorio a week ago, and I love it! I've been switching between trying to complete the campaign and a custom scenario with the Marathon Mod.

If anybody wants to set up a multiplayer game, we can try to set something up. I must warn you though, I'm still a bit of a noob at this game. :P

We're all either busy playing, or waiting in eager anticipation of the next release, which is supposed to be later this month. ;)

Some of us are waiting on a good dedicated server release so we can actually host a game

Eh. Doable without too much effort as-is.
Not headless yet, so you're gonna need a beefy machine if you want it to run in the background.
Needs better admin controls, sure, but if you don't publicize the IP, that shouldn't become a problem.
Interest in a server seems to die pretty quickly, and players generally don't make suggestions to maintain their interest, or so my experience says.
Considering this is all from the first handful of releases, and thus dealing with the worst of the bugs, I imagine it's even easier to manage now.

Then again, many people treat Factorio (and most any other game) as a novelty, and will mess with whatever new feature is released and then put it back on the shelf.

In any case, I'm willing to rehost whenever there's a group that's going to maintain interest in the server.

more hard than you need to. I've a server that could handle it, but I'm not gonna install X, headless or otherwise, to run a fake server on top of it. vCPU and bandwidth is cheep these days, but memory is not

New release is coming fairly soon. In the mean time I am playing badly and want to play multiplayer with OCD folks so I can drive you up the wall.

my factories are basically conveyor hell until the point where i can just delegate all the logistics fuckery to robots and put down semi-independent crafting units via blueprints

I only have a handful of robots. Definitely less than 20.

Time to wait a month for it to stabilize I'd say.
