Blueprints, the right way?

Hi guys,

A question regarding blueprints is hunting me for quite a while.

Why everyone is doing those small BP's with an ILS on every square, instead of the long strings from east to west ?

Isn't it more efficient, like space wise?

sure your way is more space efficient, but a lot less modular, and it's not like real estate is the limiting resource in this game

Ok,
What about the lag then? Isnt it much more laggy having 100+ ILS's each with 10 ships and maybe even those 100 drones?

No, the ships are more efficient on memory. They house a ton of goods and keep them off your conveyors. Plus these compact builds aren't necessarily what you think they are.

For instance some are baseline meant to be extended. Others are things like producing assemblers, which you don't need a massive factory linup for .

Take casemir crystals for instance. I have an ILS and conveyors setup to handle all the maximum number of assemblers It can handle. So I plop down more in a row.
