Twisted bilayers of two-dimensional semiconductors offer a versatile platformto engineer quantum states for charge carriers using moir\'e superlatticeeffects. Among the systems of recent interest are twistronicMoSe${}_{2}$/WSe${}_{2}$ and MoS${}_{2}$/WS${}_{2}$ heterostructures, whichundergo reconstruction into preferential stacking domains and highly straineddomain wall networks, determining the electron/hole localization across moir\'esuperlattices. Here, we present a catalogue of options for the formation ofself-organized quantum dots and wires in lattice-reconstructed marginallytwisted MoSe${}_{2}$/WSe${}_{2}$ and MoS${}_{2}$/WS${}_{2}$ bilayers, finetuned by the twist angle between the monolayers from perfect alignment to$\theta \sim 1^{\circ}$, and by choosing parallel or anti-parallel orientationof their unit cells. The proposed scenarios of the quantum dots and wiresformation are found using multi-scale modelling that takes into account thefeatures of strain textures caused by twirling of domain wall networks.
