Some science setups i designed for feeding from a main bus, where i mostly care about the width of production lines and not their height. They could be shrunk a bit more obviously, but i like the the look with long belts and few undergrounds.

Nice post!

May I suggest some new addition?

- As you said, you mostly care about the width of production lines and not their height. But my base care about the opposite. Would it be possible to add a alternative where the Height is fixed? Like 8 or 10 assembly machine of Height? If you don't I'll probably adapt it myself and post it here.

- Unless I'm mistaked, the ratio isn't perfect. Could you add in the description of each layout how much of each ressource they produce in extra? And while we're at it, what's the ressource requirement (iron, copper, steel, green circuit, red circuit, plastic, stone brick)?

- And could I suggest to replace small power pole by either medium power pole or Substation? Since those blueprint require bot, usually those base have medium pole automation but not necessarily small pole automation. I was also thinking about express belt but I guess they won't add too much.

Kept it going!

This reminds me of the modular main bus factories I've seen some time ago :

The base concept was :
- have a standard main bus
- have tiles of fixed height
Then the factory is mainly plugging tiles to produce whatever you need

Wow, it's very similar to my design : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45f44 ... sp=sharing

I'm working in the v2 right now. I'll post it when it'll be finished
