press alt so the recipes are show on the assemblers

It helps immensely when sharing designs

Just a curious question: is this a design from the editor? Usually, one does not have access to express belts before some serious science automation

For the layout, we have:
----------- Gears----- Trn Belt-- Green Science
FE Plate-- Cu Cable-- Inserters- Science Research
CU Plate-- Circuits-- Red Science

General Comments -
Design is limited with inputs of only 1 line of FE Plates and 1 line of CU Plates - No need for 4 inserter/transport belt assemblers
For circuit design, it is a fairly accepted rule that CU Cable be directly inserted into the circuit assemblers at a 3 Cu Cable to 2 Circuit ratio
In order to allow for the expansion of science to Red, Green and then Blue and purple, the Red and Green Science flasks should share the same belt (red on one side and green on the other) - of course you can have green with blue at a later date but I find it easier to share the initial belt with the first two sciences.

Sort of. it is a screen shot form a world where i cheat heavily to come up with designs for factories which i then make blupes of and import to other worlds.

It seem overengineered.

Normally, the consumption of even a lot of labs and science pack factory is so low that I can just use the normal stream of inserter, belts and all and take what is needed.

What do you mean by normal stream?
