I love having exposes machinery and wires. It makes me feel like my house is one big machine and I'm the mad scientist behind it. Also, there's something soothing about just watching items zip by in pipes.
Do you like to hide your machinery behind the scenes?

Seeing as this could have been satisfied as a poll, and no real discussion is happening in an otherwise 'alright' topic, I'll just tell a story or two about this in between posts.
A great tentacled beast is nice indeed. I like to have several of them scattered along my bases, even if they are doing something as arbitrary as making TNT. I give it a little room and everything. Once though, I had a structure with only one purpose; to house teleporters. I also wanted it to be fully independent, as I'd have to clone it across areas of my world. So I hid all the power generation. It was neat, clean, tidy, and secure. No chance of terrorists messing with the power supply.
And it was the greatest transport hub ever, but was also horrible to build, so I never made another one. The end.

I would say that there is a great deal of discussion, people expressing their opinions quite happily. What there isn't is argument. People are aware that its a matter of personal preference, so don't try to convince others of their viewpoint.
On topic, I usually have my main "access" room, which is clean and tidy, wires and pipes hidden, etc. And processing/generation, etc. is done elsewhere.

I hide my wiring but not my machines because I kind of need to use them. Wiring doesn't go with my building style either.
Sometimes, there are public visits I go with my cousin to there. I use them to get inspiration to my drawings/bases.
My room is a mess, but I can't find anything if someone tides it up.
Hide everything. If I can't hide it, I'll think about the room design, maybe sleep on it, and come back when Ifigure out how to hide it. I generally keep machines visible, especially if they're not automated and I want them available for odd tasks. Ore-processing and other machines I generally don't need to access get hidden though. I understand the appeal to have wires and conduits running everywhere, but I prefer the engineering challenge of not having any of the components visible, just a sleek machine room where everything looks good and works behinds the scenes.
I make freaking factories!!! I want them to look like freaking factories!!!
But really, I like the idea of having all my pipes and wires going everywhere. It always reminds me of how far I've come since spawning with nothing but a book about how to make a smeltery and patterns.

That's partly my fault.
Sent from boobs (because why not?)
And the other part is mine
