I like the new belt icons! Allthough a minor nitpick would be that their gears are protruding out beyond the belt's edge, which is clearly not the case with how belts look like as an entity on the ground.

I also wonder how many modders will decide to update their vertically upwards oriented belt icons to be consistent with the now horizontally oriented vanilla icons.

I am not a big fan of the new belts.... they are harder to identify.

The author of "Black Rubber Belts" mod hast just done it!

[*]Updated transport belt icons.

Why are the belts and u-belts heading to right, but splitters heading to left?
I demand that the discrepancy be corrected immediately!

And also there is a discrepancy between the icon and the placed belt: the gear teeth are visible on the icon, but not on the belt. You need to redraw the icon, move the belt image a little lower to hide some of the gear teeth.
The drawing of the icon is more voluminous. It looks like you are looking at the icon and the belt from different angles: at the icon from top to side, and at the belt almost only from top.

Don't like the new icons at all. It was cleaner and nicer before.

Definitely not a fan of the new icons. They're fine on the ground, but as an icon in my inventory they're frankly ugly.

I’m ok with the new icons, it’s just they’re not as easy to tell what they are or their tier at a glance as the old ones were.

That's pretty much the same I was saying above.

69... nice.

Wow, the dev team's attention to detail and desire to keep this game best-in-class and up to date is a real inspiration. Most other dev teams would shrug this off as an asthetic change, invest their time elsewhere. I really appreciate how you guys continue to look at the game and improve, even though this belts been like this for a long time.

Love the new icon, I think it will take some getting used to, but kudos for updating it.

I'm not a huge fan of the new belt icons, sorry. Too cluttered.
