including all engines on all maps is not anywhere in the realm of possibility; the cog 1 engine situation is enough evidence of this
every engine needs its own setup, supporting items, and equipment; the cog1 setup is afaik special because people love voting for cog1 and it meant the new (nuclear) engine type wasn't getting a lot of daylight
but for example
singularity:
- collectors
- large square area for the singularity itself
- nothing of value interaction wise other than "feed it crap"
- can be built entirely from cargo crates
nuclear:
- requires enough space for the reactor, turbine
- requires entire atmos setup
- extra space for manufacturers and other related equipment
teg:
- requires atmos setup
- requires space for a combustion chamber / cooling loops
trying to fit all three of these into the same, reusable space is nigh impossible, and it's why cog 1's nuke engine is weird and why the singularity kinda sucks
