1 month ago this kinda removes the need for space management and it also would be tough with all kinds of things like inputs, floor tiles outputs etc also for the space just play a bigger map, this kind of thing is just too much tbh it would simplify more than complicate and optimizing SHOULD be complicated
also there just is barely any reason to actually add this while the things it ruins are just too much and the actual implementation is quite complicated and on top of all that it could be VERY laggy

Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.
Contraptions could be for compounding schematics into one 1x1, 2x2 or 3x3 cube. Things inside the contraption connect to the outside by using ports; items, power, fluid, heat, logic and payloads. 1x1s can only have 4, 2x2s 8, and 3x3s 12. Simply Place the ports on the perimeter and they will be squashed in. Too much for that size, and it won't compress. Contraptions are just built from schematics, requiring titanium plates as well (which makes it strong ( to make sure it won't explode)).
Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.
More complex creations! With the need of titanium plates, it won't mess the game up too much (keeping the use of schematics). Just imagine a computer running Mindustry in Mindustry!
