It seems to me that the data has to be structured a bit different. In the moment stuff that is almost the same (from a style perspective ;-) is spread over multiple source-layers: e. g.various "pillar" shapes in "buoy_lateral", "buoy_special_purpose", etc.
From my POV only the shape of a POI symbol matters, e.g. because it determinats the offset that is needed to place it in the right position and also to get the placement of combined Symbols correct; "colour" acts on top of "shape" as a modifier. It wouldnt change label placement for example. Splitting this property into "colour" and "colour-pattern" gives the need for a lot of duplicates in the style. A single modifier (e.g. "vyby" for vertical + yellow;black;yellow) would make things a lot easier.
Yep. The workflow provides the option to select and merge data from multiple postgres tables into a single source-layer. This is done using sql queries.
They can be edited interactively: https://github.com/OpenSeaMap/vectortiles-generator#setup-export-options
As a first try I currently export all postgres tables into separate source-layers.
