This is a blueprint book containing setups for producing: a)Red and Green Science b)Grey and Blue Science c)Purple and Yellow Science in a rate of about 54/min each.

It also contains labs from early up till late game. The whole idea behind this blueprint was to have most of the science production being done in one place so that as long as you can properly feed it with materials you can focus on building stuff elsewhere without having to worry about the science production. Also it is cheaper to have stuff closer together and in early game everything matters.

So the only materials that you need to feed it are: Ore and smelting materials and Oil products. Everything else is done locally. The reason that the smelting and oil products is done elsewhere is because those are more in need of an upgrade than the rest. For example you would want to move from basic to advanced oil processing and maybe towards the end even to coal liquefaction to cover your increasing oil needs, and a fixed blueprint would be limiting your options. I do include though what you need to build to cover the oil product needs for each science, the how is up to you. The only exception to that are the stone bricks for purple science, since the amount needed is small and you have to feed it stone ore anyway for the rail production i decided to do the smelting locally as well.

I also include the number of items/min you need to feed each science with a loader indicator on where to feed each item in order of placement from left to right and top to bottom so that you know where to put a belt to feed each item. All are bottom fed and the science output is at the top.

Using default factorio settings feeding this can be challenging for any new player, you will need plenty of iron from the moment you get to purple science without modules you need about an iron ore patch worth 10 millions or many smaller ones that add up to that and a bit less of the same for copper when you reach yellow science. It also needs a decent amount of oil for your oil products, you will need more than one pumpjack oil location close to you to feed it. You might even have to consider coal liquefaction to cover your oil needs towards the yellow science.
