Helo Everyone

This is my first post and I would like to share with you my new creation. This is a multi-purpose flexible factory setup. Given a sufficient time in can build almost any item in the game.

I have based my idea on the YouTube video "Factorio Effecient Compact Factory". You will have to find it yourself as I apparently cannot add any link in the first few posts :/ .
The principle of operation is explained in the video but if you have any specific questions please feel free to ask

And here is the blue-print script, try it!!!

This is really cool but your blueprint is corrupt or I'm experiencing some bug in factorio or one of my mods.
The picture shows what happens for me when I place the blueprint and then continue to hold the blueprint in my hand. Not everything is blue as you can see. The green stuff shows what is missing from the first deployment, the blue is what is correctly placed and the red is what is displaced by a small distance. So some substations, splitters and roboports are either not placed or don't get their ghost placed exactly as the blueprint is shown before deployment.

Your design otherwise seems awesome. A bit unstable though if you don't input enough iron plates, then the system will fill up with copper cables faster than they are used.

Odd that it would overproduce anything - the factory seems to monitor stock, and it would be easy to stop unloading copper cable if it begins backing up in the chests. Perhaps the placement problems also caused a cabling problem with the combinators and there was an error reconnecting them later? Or the OP didn't test for steel shortage. Either way, all the elements for controlling this problem are there.

The blueprint issues are usually caused loading a BP from an older version of factorio into a newer version - Blueprints and Foreman both have ways now to correct old blueprints. If that's not the problem with misplaced items, I can't imagine what is.

What I'd realoly like to see is one of these that, with a few basic items, (required belts, combis, a few assemblers,) will begin producing the components to finish the rest of the factory. Self-building factories. I'm going to go and start working on exactly that, now that the idea is in my head.
