Compact Red Green Science

[Montego]

Tried my best to make a science station in as small an area as I could. Got this one doing 3 each of red and green science pack assemblers plus labs in 23x16 tiles. Lots of crossed inserters and a few underground belts.

It's compact, but i think it will have trouble running at full speed. The gear assembler only has a single red inserter for iron plates. Same for copper plates into the wire assembler.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that a single lane of copper and iron is also a bottleneck.

Now that I've used the design for awhile, I have found there are some bottlenecks. The single inserters are fine for keeping the first assemblers stocked, but the problem is that the red pack assemblers take most of the gear wheels and starve the green pack line. Adding another gear assembler would really help.

Iron supply is also a bit slow at times, buy I think a faster belt would fix that.
