I think you can horizontally flip the engines to let the fluid pass through, allowing you to place them next to each other.
Not sure though, my platform had only 1 engine. It didn't last very long though, yours is definitely better!
First thing I tried. Unfortunately you can't. I considered shaping them in a V pattern, but then you have to cross the pipes which is possible but annoying. I also cut out some foundations to reduce weight by this method. Even though it has 5 engines, it can only sustain thrust for one of them, hence the tanks, so maybe 1 engine is better for frequent trips if you can't stock up in time (although ammo stockpiles seems to be the bottleneck in my design).
you should be able to do /\ pattern though, for the ammo we use the Hub itself as storage so that the platform waits at the planet/station before it has enough ammo in reserves
Yeah, that's not a bad shout regarding the thrusters. I'll try that for gen 2. I already use the hub for storage for ammo, iron plates, carbon, ice and iron ore. My first stationary platform also used it to store asteroid chunks, then I learnt that they don't stack which is why I have a sushi belt for asteroids now.
👀 H and V to mirror inputs and outputs, including oil processing 👀
Edit fuck you can't mirror thrusters 😭
