What small blueprints do you use in your designs?

My rails roundabout, and my two rails parallel, the same distance apart as the exits of the roundabout.

And for later in game, a requester chest and passive provider chest side by side with inserters.

How does that last one work? Is it for transporting between logistics networks?

It's used with an assembler. A requester chest and inserter pointing towards the assembler and a passive provider chest with inserter getting stuff out of the assembler. This way I can make anything an assembler can make, even when I'm not close.

It does indeed work with the logistics network. I'm doing space exploration now, and the ability to change or create things on other planets saves on a lot of traveling.

Thanks! I'm a bit thick, so I still have a hard time visualizing it. I'd appreciate a blueprint string if you have it, as I'm 81 hours into K2+Space Exploration and this sounds like something that I should put in my toolbox. :)
