Similar to Sketch Patterns, Feature Patterns will take a feature and multiply it with some things to keep in mind:
Spacing is key
Circular Patterns are frequently evenly spaced throughout 360°
Linear Patterns are frequently spaced by a dimension, but may also go UpTo a reference
You may easily edit Feature Patterns
You'll need references
Axis for Circular Pattern
Edges for Linear Pattern
Patterns should appear towards the bottom of your Design Tree
If a Feature creates multiple faces, you may pattern selective Faces only
You may skip individual instances (in cases of inconsistent patterns)
