Would hinges and shapes allowing origami structures be implementable?
As discussed on Steam:
Less complex parts and physics, less clang :D is I was thinking about, mostly. Also, there are lots of fancy triangular block structures but no solar fancy ones to allow for fun and creative use of origami (and compliant mechanisms) designs.

For people tempted to reply by pistons and rotors, w4stedspace did a fantastic essay on compact and complex deployable, yes somewhat unstable arrays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH2liGNLSlE
Origami designs aim at simplifying all of it via folding one piece of, in it's original form, paper. See next link to Veritasium for modern origami applications: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThwuT3_AG6w
Exciting possibilities... Clang on!
