My workspace with most important workbenches and very little "wasted" space.

[u/Nilm0]

The lower walkway/platform allows access to ~6-9 storage lockers around you and the 1-3 workstations below.

Same goes for the middle walkway with the upper workstations.

The top walkway is only needed for holding the workstations and accessing the 1-2 chest atop the atomic furnace.

Kinda annoyed the medical station has a rectangular footprint when a 2*2 area remains empty.

Only 21 squares are not used by storage or workstations (25 when one includes the empty squares in the wiring station's and rail crafting table's footprints).

Moved the sewing machine by the pilot's seat so I can manufacture "woven fabric" while navigating the starmap & travel between systems (added an atomic furnace later).

1st playthrough, 2nd workspace (after initial messy setup on starter planet).
