Spaghetti modules

I like to build small modules that don't require too much space and too many inputs
and are mostly optimized for size. This is the recently created solar cell/accumulator module,
that also stores overflown batteries and solid/rocket fuel. It's not optimized for speed or throughput, but if I want to
double the amount of output, I just duplicate it next to it, route oil, water, iron plates/gears and
copper plates/wires to the new instance. As the spaghetti is contained into this module, I don't have to
worry about it affecting the scalability of my base too much. All I need to scale up is coal/iron/copper
production, which are more or less resemble the typical smelting arrays.

I to like spaghetti modules, though usually in two styles. Either it's an all in one module that produces everything in a particular group (EX: Combinators and the stuff that goes with it), or tileable where production capacity is needed for one specific thing (EX: red circuit production).
