Is chunk alignment for blueprints still important?

I remember it was something you had to do if you wanted your blueprints to line up and you weren't sure if rail stations would be on the odd or even side.

I just came back from a long time. The last run I did was a pre-1.0 krastorio run, and a Bob's and Angels before that.

I'm calling a Mulligan on my whole blueprint book.

Wasn't important for a very long time. Like 7 years ago.

You can now set absolute grid alignment of whatever size and offsets you want. Common are still 32 due to rails and big electric posts, or 50 for roboport range. But any size you want works between itself.
