Exotic Refinery
I there a point in having more than 1 refinery per planet? Does it help?

Each refinery is able to refine one exotic resource. Whether you have five planets wich one refinery each or one planet with five refineries doesn't matter.

You can get Planet Items and sometimes planet bonuses that boost exotic refinery speeds by 25%. If you can, its a good idea to concentrate refineries on planets that have these items. So there are good places to place refineries where you would probably want more than one.

The Aluxian Resurgence sells an item like this on the first tier of their influence tree (minor faction). The Advent can also build a Plasma Furnace which also has this bonus.

If you're playing TEC Primordial planets will also have a Planet Item for this, but its only a 15% boost.

i recommend using a primordial planet. they have that item that does a bonus to exotic production and then spend the 1 influence at the aluxia resurgence people and get their item that gives a boost as well.

There is no limit per planet. The more you have, the more you can ‘build’ at a time.

You can set a primodial planet as an exotic resource maker with the planet item unique to them that improves the build time of exotics.

The more you have the quicker you get them.
If you wanted 2 red and 2 blue but you only have 3 refinaries then you'd have to wait for the 2nd blue one to be crafted.
The more refinaries = craft more at same time.

And if I'm seeing my game correctly, 40% boost to production speed with both on planet.

Both what? You mean both the TEC item and the Aluxian item? Yeah, they should stack.

It's better to focus exotics production on few locations to maximize rewards, imo.
Spread out, they are easier to defend, but when you need 50-ish tauranite to fully equip your capital ships, you want those exotics stat.
