What to study

Blueprints are how a factory game scales, and this frame shows the whole interaction: a whole factory section as one ghost, its size and machine counts in the side panel, and the conflict cells in red where it cannot legally land. The keyboard hints underneath (rotate, mirror, mirror inverse, save) mean the player can stamp, flip, and store a layout without leaving the grid. Frame at about 0:58 in the 1.0 Gameplay Trailer [EN] (Steam), manually extracted because the scene pass did not cut on it.
