I was thinking of making a mod that'd lay ghosts for pumpjacks and pipes arranged automatically to hook up a whole field (since it's a similar task that a mod I've already written does) after the tedium of hooking up a few giant oil fields in a railworld map, but the geometry problem to create an al...

And at that point I'll probably remove any "native" support for third party mods, i.e. DSB won't do any setting up of third party belt tiers at all, only provide the mechanisms for others to do so. I'll try and make it as easy as possible for them to tell DSB2 about their belt tiers and t...

I'm not sure what extra buildability combinations that adds, I think the game is alr...
