add a directional arrow on the screen when placing a belt

Post by Nioxic »

I know, i know.. it's not a big issue.

but a nice little thing, for me, would be if you could see a little yellow arrow (same as when you place miner drills or inserters) to your belts. because it can be difficult to see its direction, especially when you're zoomed out

With the long reach mod, i can place stuff all over the screen which is awesome, but i still need to zoom in all the time when i'm placing belts, which can get quite annoying

It would be nice.
Even when zoomed in it may not be easy to tell the direction due to the mouse cursor being in the way

Another thought could be that the belt always goes in the direction you drag the mouse when placing it.
Or a way to reverse the direction of long stretches of conveyor as easily as changing the direction of underground belts.

This would make a big difference to me, as its often nearly impossible to tell the direction of faster belts at anything but the closest zoom difference.
