Important informations :
See the constant combinators for ore and fluid inputs.
About The "Belts & Splitters" blueprint, it use some filtered storage chests for yellow or red belts recycling and produce both blue and red full set but not the yellow one. And if you ask, all the storage tanks are for lubricant side products buffering. As they are not used is this blueprint, I haven't found any better idea than to store them and flush the two network when full :/
About The "Artillery shells + extra Explosive cannons shells", as the artillery shells use the explosives cannons shells as an intermediate product, you can't use the two products as the same time : the "extra" is there to remind you that fact.
About the "Solar panels & Accumulators" blueprint, there was some room left so i just fill it with storage tank for sulfuric acid. Fell free to use it as a side product when the main production is stopped.
About the ""military mall"" blueprint, Make sure to connect both the roborport at the end of the koravex enrichement process line and at the end of the red circuit production line, to the logistic network. Otherwise, all the provider chest wouldn't be connected. If you want uranium-238 production, you will have to feed the first (the closest to the refinery) koravex enrichment centrifuge of each of the three lines ! At least a 40 uranium-238 load per centrifuge. If you want combat shotguns, you will need to have a wood provider chest connected to this factory, or you can just feed the requester chest next to the dedicated assembling machine.
About the ""Nuclear fuels & Uranium fuel cells"" blueprint, you need to manualy launch the uranium-238 production, you will have to feed the first (the closest to the refinery) koravex enrichment centrifuge of each of the two lines ! At least a 40 uranium-238 load per centrifuge.
About the ""Spidertron"" blueprint, you need to have a fish provider chest connected to this factory, or you can just feed the requester chest next to the spidertron assembling machine (at the assembling machine group beacon-less corner). AND beware of the iron ore input belt hide among the copper ones !

For the credits, I used the perfect NRC's smelting lines which can be found here : https://factorioprints.com/view/-L_FmMLJqvwVnGf0KRCW
If you need modules productions, there are these awesome blueprints for that : https://www.factorio.school/view/-MJqfshTilgSzcQhKP5f
Finally, if you want an end-game science production factory (a design optimised for 6 science tech), you have this, once again, perfect blueprint : https://factorioprints.com/view/-MSJtnaSWVU456zeFvtJ (cf. comment below from Oxyl)
Pointless informations :
I love solar + accumulators for energy because they are almost Cpu free ^^
Note that all the blueprints could certainly be improved, optimized or corrected and none work at a 100% efficiency, both because a mall isn't designed to procude all the items in the same time, so smelting and intermediate production could be under/over-sized AND because I like to play empirically x). So fell free to report (and fell free to let me know if there is any English mistakes too ^^).
Ps : Yes, I know, the way I organise my belts is a true abomination but this is what make me happy when playing this game x)
Changelog :
-
V0 : initial release with main mall and three small blueprints.
-
V1 : gradually add all other blueprints
-
V2 : three major corrections and a minor space optimisation update
-
an electrification problem and an inserter speed related problem on the "Solar panels & Accumulators" blueprint : the beacon line on the extreme right wasn't connected to any pole, in addition, the solar panel assembling machines was green circuit underfed.
-
a intermediate production problem on the "Artillery shells + extra Explosive cannons shells" blueprint : the radar gear production was underfed and the radar assembling machine was on a too low tier (I initaly put a lvl 1 machine, believing it would be speed up by the beacons :p )
-
the space optimisation update affect the "Beacons, Roboports & Poles" blueprint
-
V4 : change the koravex enrichment centrifuge patern of the two blueprints which require it. It is now a circular one which only need the first centrifuge to be initially fed. It also correct a stuck state of the line which eventually occur in my previous patern :p
-
V5 : add spidertron factory
-
futur V6 : i will try to correct a global green circuit factory problem : as i frequently don't mix iron and copper plate on an unique belt, 1 stack inserter isn't enough to assure a good transfer rate for copper cable and green circuit factories :/
