Divide the project into subprojects

Hi there,

I want to split my project as well as a split engine:

Expose the networking, utils, access to the database, protobuf, cryptography to modules.
And recompile them separately if necessary. Now compilation epically long.

I want something like this:

How to do it? I read about the modules, but is a little different.
If I add a project to project, here is a mistake, how to set up correctly?

Bad idea…

You will almost certainly waste far far more time trying to do this than you lose in build times.

Building projects with plugins is a sensible way to do things though, there was a stream on the subject recently.
