I set up a pair of engines and fuel tanks with bracing. Then, I use the Alt mouse click to copy and paste that pair to the next position and rearrange the fuel line. I then copy and paste once or twice more depending on the design. It is a lot easier to then set up the staging on the decouplers individually. (Note, stage six is used to drop engines when near orbit so the LV-N can use the remaining fuel in the asparagus as drop tanks more efficiently.)

You also need to run fuel lines near the base of the fuel can. There is a bug that can cause them to disconnect during the reload when they are attached to the top of the fuel can.

A standard asparagus from career Mode and the staging setup. Staging is the same setup as in the video but using the pair build, then the Alt mouse click to copy and pastethe other two pair in the design.
