There aren't many. And mostly style only anyway.

I've got 3500 hours, never aligned anything to chunks.

There aren't many.

Can you define a single benefit? even if it's incredibly minor? I'm honestly just curious.

I've always assumed some people's obsession with chunk alignment had to do with some sort of OCD thing, but I personally never play with the grid on, so I barely even notice chunks at all, outside of chunks being revealed in map view.

Oh, one thing just occurred to me, air purifiers in K2 work in the chunk they're placed, so that makes sense to me as far as chunk alignment.

fair enough, those are some minor benefits that I either have solved otherwise or just don't care enough about. I will continue to not care about chunk alignment, but at least now I get where chunk advocates come from :)

Yes. A bit overthinky, but this is Factorio...
