Conveyor Control Console (And new Conveyor parts)

The Console: The CCC would be an expensive, endgame machine that can be interacted by right clicking it. You would get a view of all connected conveyors, and it would tell you the throughput of different areas, the current items/time that it carrys, and would let you change the direction or function of conveyors. This building uses power, and that power goes up with more connected conveyors, but it can also take speed modules and efficiency modules. (And beacons)
The new conveyor parts: Not really a whole lot on the idea, but more advanced conveyors such as sorting splitters and junctions that split a single conveyor into two. These would also be able to take filters for each side. Same speed as express belts.
Honestly the entire reason I wanted to suggest this, is for lots of speed modules. That would just be fun to see for endgame. But if you like the idea, it'd be great if you could discuss it, and suggest new parts, I guess.
