Features:
- 2 Sets of Stone Brick Furnaces, enough to make 1 Fast Transport Belt worth of Stone Bricks when fully upgraded
- 8 Rows/ Belts of Iron Plate Smelters
- 8 Rows/ Belts of Copper Plate Smelters
- Steel Smelters to fill up to 0.8 Yellow Belt when upgraded fully
- A pre-oil MALL to supply most of your building materials
- Electronic Circuit Factory producing 2 Fast Transport Belts worth of circuits
- Plastic Bar Factory producing 1 Fast Transport Belt worth of Plastic Bars
- Optional 75 Chemical Science Quick Start Factory, to rush Advanced Oil Processing
- Advanced Circuit Factory producing 0.5 Transport Belt worth of circuits
- A Belt Factory for all three levels of Belts, Splitters , and Underground Belts
- An Advanced Oil Processing Factory making Lubricant, Light Oil, Petroleum Gas, Sulfur, Sulfuric Acid, Solid Fuel, and Rocket Fuel
- Processing Unit Factory producing 72/minute

There are two sets of iron and copper belts, one is on Transport Belts and the other on Fast Transport Belts.
- Just upgrade any of the yellow Transport Belts to the red Fast Transport Belts; and upgrade the Stone Furnaces to Steel Furnaces to efficiently increase your production.
Ends with 36 belts / pipes of output on the BUS for everything you need to start Mid Game Factorio!
This MEGA BUS blueprint also lines up with my Train Stacker and Unload Station blueprint to feed this base with materials: https://factorioprints.com/view/-M0lXx2o8imr9-tqt2IX
Enjoy!
