Increase Pigment production
When I feed the Pigment factories with 50p/m it doesn't increase to 50 outcome. Also there isn't any possibility to increase this production through the Tech tree. I am more busy with making this pigment then with the actual droids or mechs

Sadly, that's not how the buildings work. That building has 16 maximum cranes, and requires 4 different items fed into it. So, with dedicated belts per item the max you can push into the building at equal ratio is 60/m of each item (4 belts @ 15/m crane speed). Doing so will max out the production of the factory at 30/m.
Adding more cranes out of the base ratio, will not improve the throughput of the island. This is standard across all machines.
You may not know yet, but the good news is, pigment is used pigment converts in a 1:4 ratio to Yellow paint. For every 1 (30 at max speed) you proivde a mixer, you get 4 (120) back out. So, production on this one is actually very good as is. So really the pigment factory is effectively producing 16 paint per action.
If you really want to maximize your paint production, paint bigger shapes. Many people paint 8x8x8 or even 12x12x12 cubes (same cost as painting a 4x4x4) and then breaking it apart as needed. Youll never worry for painted blocks!
