You can use the ruckingineer to make blueprints, then staple them to other blueprints to make a booklet.
Curiously this does not let you bulk load a bunch of blueprints into the reverse fabricator either, but it seems kinda silly to let the player ruin blueprints with a stapler.

Requesting stapling together blue prints creates entirely new items that are combinations of the two.
Whether or not those items are useful is another matter.

Careful there, you're a step away from attempting to implement Homestuck's nightmarish concept of an alchemy system.

I'd rather stapling blueprints let you load them en masse.

We have the make-shitty-item proc, so this would be feasable.

This is what I was thinking, but thought it might be better as a suggestion thread.
I just figured I'd file it as a bug report and then see where the codermins take it from there.
That said, I think the alchemy system could be fun if mechanics is building stuff that "might" be useful to the crew.
Obvious would be combining both genetics scanners and circuit boards into a all in one dna machine. Or combining the cloner and deep frier into an instant clone cooker.
I guess that's outside the scope of a bug report though.
