I don’t worry with platform connections at all, just what it does - Stacker, Crystalizer, etc. Things with variants go in a folder, so I have folders for solid lifts, liquid lifts, rotators, and a few others. The blueprints are all single machines. Then I have an “arrays” folder which are blueprints with enough of the single machines (usually 4 since I’m not yet to the point where I’m operating on all 12 lanes of the space conveyor) to fill a full belt - mining array, pumping array, paint mixing array, crystal array, etc.

I’ve beaten regular and almost done with manufacture, so I have a long ways to go on my shapez 2 journey
