I think you can horizontally flip the engines to let the fluid pass through, allowing you to place them next to each other.

Not sure though, my platform had only 1 engine. It didn't last very long though, yours is definitely better!

First thing I tried. Unfortunately you can't. I considered shaping them in a V pattern, but then you have to cross the pipes which is possible but annoying. I also cut out some foundations to reduce weight by this method. Even though it has 5 engines, it can only sustain thrust for one of them, hence the tanks, so maybe 1 engine is better for frequent trips if you can't stock up in time (although ammo stockpiles seems to be the bottleneck in my design).

👀 H and V to mirror inputs and outputs, including oil processing 👀

Edit fuck you can't mirror thrusters 😭
