Cargo rocket section packed

Packing (with an assembly machine) converts 5 cargo rocket sections into 1 cargo rocket section packed. Unpacking converts 1 cargo rocket section packed into 5 cargo rocket sections.

Why use packed sections?

  1. Your bots will make one-fifth as many trips compared to moving individual cargo rocket sections.
  2. If you send cargo rocket sections on a rocket, you can fit five times as many. A full rocket can hold 500 cargo rocket sections inside, yielding 5 cargo rockets at your destination. But if instead it holds 500 cargo rocket sections packed, these unpack into 2500 cargo rocket sections, or 25 cargo rockets.

Given the savings, and the minimal cost of packing/unpacking time, consider immediately packing cargo rocket sections on creation, and only unpacking them when directly inserting them into a rocket.
