Usage
An engine plate has a configurable number of direct attachment nodes, from one to nine. These are primarily intended to allow attaching multiple smaller radial size engines.
The direct node options are single, dual, triple, quad, 4x1, 6x1, and 8x1. The "x1" designates a central node the others are arranged around.
It also has a single interstage node, spaced a configurable distance below the engine plate. This allows "rejoining" the branches into a single stack, distinguishing engine plates from stack adapters. In addition, the engine plate has the built-in ability to decouple from this lower node; a separate decoupler is not required.
