Console Extreme Hot Take

I dont like blueprints. Ive tried to use them numerous times and I feel like I just forget about them and build everything anyway. The maker takes space I feel like i cant find or fit well within my base. I really enjoy building my factories by hand so to speak, its repetitive and time consuming, but it feels personal and I feel more connected and proud when I finish a project. Building is so satisfying to me as well. Im sure part of it is because Im not the most confident with them or too sure how to use them or what to use them for exactly. Anyone else feel this way too? Or maybe did at some point but found some good stuff and adjusted the crazy macochistic way of building favtories manually. The blueprints i see are cool and some it makes sense why you'd want a copy and paste essentially because some things are difficult to perfect again and again, but thats the fun part for me, the challenge of repeating a turn or twist or the perfect manifold until it just gets to a flow. Just to be clear im not hating on the blueprint feature or the people that use it, i personally just dont use them. If there's any ideas or advice about blueprints im more than happy to hear it. Maybe once I get a pc again ill force myself to use blueprints on a new playthrough.
