From the FAQ tab:
Do the numbers in the "beacons" column represent the number of modules or the number of beacons? They represent the number of modules.
In your blueprint each chemical plant is hit by 8 beacons, so you need to set module count to 16.
@RustyBlade64 That was the solution, thanks. "Beacons" just read so obviously to me as "these are the number of beacons affecting each plant" I didn't even think to look for alternate explanations.
According to this recipe, 34 moduled and beaconed chemical plants should only fill up a blue belt to 63% capacity. https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/calc.html#zip=VY3dCoMwDIXfJlcW5hQ2OvIwtcZRqG1IIsy3nxv7UcjN+c7hyxgs4Mm1F9eCBCNUiIxnmFPBHgbKhvRgIVVnEopyFXMvDMloVhyCGcnqJ9/1kO6lCmGSWhznzdbEykzyCbrkaZEUXYhphLmOSybF/cRzt91NO39t/pY9/f57ox89mI/dEw==
However, in practice, I'm able to completely fill a blue belt with those same 34 chemical plants.
