I waste nothing. :-D
I have an entire planet dedicated to factories.

Ah what the hell.
It really isn't worth the time and effort if you are going for P4 items to put more then basic factories on the planets you are extracting from.
Convert the 3000 stuff into L1 and then ship all of it to a central facility.
Use advanced Command Centers since they cost 3.4 mil or whatever and you can fit ALOT. I have one planet where I'm harvesting 3 different items with 4-5 extractors, with 3 basic factories and 3 storage containers chuggin away 24/7. And it's pretty spread out because it's three different items after all.
Then once or twice a day, I go scoop them all up and feed them into my single spaceport that has all the advanced factories set up in the correct order with storage buffers to create P4's. All I have to do is drop items into the space port and away it goes all by itself. It's pretty neat to watch when you drop stuff in and all the factories start kicking on automatically.
In 4 days when i can place my final command center for the rest of the chain I'm going to be pumping out a P4 item every 30 min. I'll stockpile I think till the prices settle down, but once that's in place I'll probably take the remaining room in my grids and make some smaller items as well with the other resources on the planets since not all of them have 2-3 items i'm harvesting for my P4's.
So in short, yes I'm having fun.
I use only 96 hour slots, it's an hour extraction time, less per hour but more per overall cycle and it won't move on me as much. With basic factories, some storage and an ass load of extractors this allows your factories to keep up (30 min cycle). If you throw a bunch of improved or advanced factories down you have to use the shorter slots higher volume, but you will be moving around more and hauling more expensive items per trip. P1 items are easy to haul, cheap so they are easy to replace if you get shot, and they don't take up much space to make or haul.

Stuff 
You're assuming I don't extract enough to do so and that I haven't found a really good system to do this in.
And you are right it's a 1 HOUR timer, whoops wrote it not at home.
But it will be spitting out 1 per hour, it's a nice little machine I have going.
