A very popular project was building advanced furnaces that use gas mixtures (like Oxite/Volatiles) and IC scripts to precisely control temperature and pressure, optimizing ore smelting without manual input.
For anyone looking to create an interesting project, building a that regulates its own atmosphere and power via IC scripts is often considered the peak of Stationeers gameplay. If you want, I can: Show you simple MIPS code for a solar tracker. Explain how to set up an automated furnace . Stationeers.v02.12.2022.rar
A critical development for complex builds was using the IC10 housing to run MIPS code, allowing players to condense complex logic (like solar tracking, airlock automation, or furnace control) into a single component rather than hundreds of logic units.
