so why is the blueprint maker designer so small I would like to put a set of three refiners within connections, into blueprint the main reason why it's so small is because we wanted to be like chat we don't want it to be too big because we don't want to be able to like just copy and paste the entire factories that was never intentioned we want there to be sort of a puzzle mechanic when it comes to Blueprinting so you'll figure out like modules like the idea isn't that you're supposed to like I built my factory now I just want to copy and paste it the idea is that you're supposed to go to the blueprint machine first and think about like okay how can I create a module of my Factory in such a way where I can reuse it when I'm making my factory that's that that was the intent of of making blueprints essentially as to why we picked that size I think we I think we tested a bunch of different sizes, and just came to the conclusion that like 4x4 was our favorite, I guess, it's my favorite so so I don't know the full rationale why that size specifically the only thing I know that like just adding one more Foundation size like making a five by five will like increase the the size by twice so like it's not just a small increment by doing that you're actually making a huge, you know increment essentially, but but if you if you want to share your feedback the QA status the best place it goes if you have like specific feedback as to why that site doesn't work for you because I think part of it is like if people feel like I can't copy paste my factory then okay that's not the point so so but if you have any specific feedback as to why you would want to increase the size of it let us know
