What’s the most optimal way to get reference to the local player from a server script?
I have multiple server scripts in the workspace and I need each one to have reference to the local player, I tried using remote events but I can only connect the event to one script, and of course I shouldn’t add new remote event for every new script just to get reference to the local player

Why do you need multiple scripts for each player?
Also, you can connect one remote to multiple scripts.

I have something like this:
In every “Machine” there’s a “MachineModule”
In every “MachineModule” there’s the event connected:
When I fire “GetPlayerRefs” event in a local script, only one if the modules get the event connected and not all of them

I solved this by adding an ObjectValue in ReplicatedStorage, then a remote event to fire in a local script, and I connected the event with the object value to store the player reference in the object value, now whenever a script need ref to the player I read it from the object value

You should probably just use one script to manage all of the machines
You can put the functionality of the machine module in a function and call that for each machine in a loop
It makes it easier to add more and you dont have to edit all of them individually

But each machine has its own properties and values that change during runtime so each one needs a unique module, is there a better approach for that?
Yes
I see they have the same parts (base, cashier, distance detector, gui holder, machine stats, machine module), so they probably have the same functionality
You can made a function and then call the function for each machine with its own properties and values
