[Request] Fully Automated Belt Layer!

Post by wvlad »

Automatic placement and removal of belts. Often for long zig-zag belts it's hard to select it for deconstruction or replacement.

It should be in the ghost mode.

1. Placement: you hold W/A/S/D and a belt line is planned in one of directions automatically avoiding small obstacles or making underground belts.
2. Removal: you hold W/A/S/D and belts connected in that direction from selected are planned for deconstruction.
3. Replacement: same as 2, should plan for reversed direction or another belt speed type.

It would be good to have an undo button also.

I've started this mod Filling Belts Updater, but have no time no complete it.

This mod has module for finding all connected belts and automatic replace them with another tier.
