sometimes, for optics and/or sanity, its better to chop up a station into multiple different non-connected parts. I tend to split my bigger stations up into habitation, production, shipyard and port (depending on what kind of station is being built, plus/minus a few categories).

a nice immersion mod would be to have a module that acts as a traffic node. with multiple modules/nodes set up in the station, little civilian craft would fly back and forth between the nodes.

Ive already seen that some of the little builder-bots during station construction sometimes actually fly into interconnection modules when theyre done throwing glitter (the level of detail in this game is amazing sometimes) so it should be doable.
