"A quite large installation of containers and logistics depots used as a Trunk. I can dump all my items into a central collector box and it'll get sorted into all the containers, one item type per container.
Logistics depots on top of each container provide transport of the items to other parts of the planet, or back to Icarus."

@tdutton: That is true. You can kinda delay that by adding more levels of containers, but of course that just delays it.
I was thinking of other options. The only option I came up with would be to have a mainline without splitters and only filter-enabled sorters, then have the "bug-out" end sort back into the dump container. Not optimal, either.

In the end, you need to verify the setup every now and then.

This kind of thing will work UNTIL one container fills up... then the whole thing comes to a stop.

I made two blueprints to use with this, the first one contains the input box and boxes for all items: http://vpaste.net/Mg4KW

The second blueprint contains the containers for buildings, and can be attached at the output of the first blueprint: http://vpaste.net/9fsbT

These blueprints contain all items and buildings up to purple science blocks, anything after that already has containers, but no logistics depot configured. You can easily do that once you unlock them :-)
