Marinara 1.0 meets my goals: copious red and green assembly for a 14-lab research base without too much sprawl and plenty of room for blue/purple later.

You can tell I'm not big into the math but thought I'd share anyway... as I post the thought occurs that this would likely support even more labs, the carousel loads up fast!

Interesting design for sure. :p If your curious about the math, this can support a massive amount of science pack assemblers and probably double the labs you have
1 gear factory can support like 10 red science assemblers, and 1 Inserter and Belt factory can support 12 green science assemblers. So with the setup you have, that is a ton of room for expansion. Possibly even too much overkill haha

Really the only major suggestion I would have is to not put the copper cables on a belt. It is almost always better to have them directly inserted into whatever is using them.

Thanks yeah it was fun enough to try... My green card part, yikes terrible compared to the no-belt approach.

I appreciate the math, next time will be better!
