For a full usage, you need Mk3 belts for the first part. You will need the Iron Wire Alternative recipe, splitters, two miners, 13 constructors and 5 smelters and almost 70 MW.

Made from local materials these factories make going to your base less needed. Impure nodes can be overclocked to give what you need. Iron Ore and Limestone are plentiful all over the map.
The idea is that these factories are all build temporary with the idea of them being there just for the need of the factory that will be build nearby. Some might be just concrete, others concrete, iron rods, plates, (iron) wire and cable. Once the factory is filled, they stop producing.This can be all placed in a blue printer. That way you could just place it and easily remove it when done.
From U8 on these will get the lowest priority as they are not really needed. A container per item should be enough.
