This game is frustratingly amazing and I love it

You could also do 2 4-way RCS blocks and stick 2 more linears on top of them, but you're not going to have equal amounts of thrust in every direction

It actually does have equal thrusts because a linear port produces exactly twice thrust of a 4-way one, which is why I love to use this combination for many of my designs.

It produces exactly twice thrust of a 4-way one, except it's in only one axis, so you gotta spend more parts and more fuel in order to get fully working translation/rotation controls.

Read the configuration. It's two linears on top of two 4-ways. If it's not clear, it means a 2x radial symmetry of 4-ways and linears at the same location (you could even offset the linear to stick out so that it looks like a 5-way port). In 4 directions it will be two 4-ways RCS firing, while in 2 directions it will be one linear RCS firing. That's why it's equal in all 6 directions.
