In my latest game (classic factorio, didn’t buy space age yet) I am trying what I call a full-fat bus design. Every single component, as long as it can be used as a manufacturing input later down the chain, goes on the bus. This means my bus keeps getting fatter. If more production is required for a given item, I can just expand production capacity vertically, while as the bus overall grows horizontally.

This goes against conventional bus design where only the most used items (plates, etc) go on the bus.

I am currently at robotics level of production (flying robot frame). So far this design is serving me well, but I’m wondering whether others here foresee a problem with this design later down the line. Any thoughts?
