I wanted to start automating the blue science card (chemical) one.
But I realize the liquid is quite difficult and I struggled on the mainbus
Should I add plastic and sulphur to my main bus? If yes, the space is quite intense...
And... what production line should i build?

That looks like a very overbuilt bus for what you're actually feeding into it...
You can probably just repurpose some belts
Other than that: start working backwards. First place science assemblers, then build assemblers for whatever is needed to feed the science assemblers. Repeat until you get to materials you can readily supply.
For me putting everything into a calculator and pulling up the flow chart helps a lot with keeping track of things

can you show me some of it?
Should I try to put every "material/component" to the main bus?

or assemblers before science assemblers will be better (for a newbie)

I am doing similar thing before building

Probably not. Definitely not in the way you've been doing it so far
tbh I'm not even sure if a bus is a great way to go in K2, as there's a bunch more items and intermediates, quickly making the thing unwieldy

Again, this is my recommendation. "readily available" means it's either on the bus, on a train network or a raw material you can find nearby. So for this the stuff on the bus would only be basic materials such as plates, circuits, maybe glass and quartz.
