That simplifies things significantly, as most required feedstocks are available (if possibly requiring additional purification).
I would note, however, that TL 8 industrial machinery is specialized. It's certainly possible to have a refinery system that produces nitric acid and ammonia from air, water, and electricity (or several other ways of producing hydrogen, such as coal or natural gas); it requires catalysts that you probably can't make or replace at local tech, but they won't be any more of a problem than any of the other parts of your machinery that you can't make or replace with local tech.
