Tilted Belt Feeders

TL;DR

Adjust belt graphics where they feed onto other belts such that they look to be inclined.

What ?

Make the single belt tile right before a belt feed tilted.

After

Why ?

When belt graphics got redone, I saw a number of complaints/comments on the broken illusion of depth when belts are too close together, in a loop. Its kinda like one of those penrose staircases. This change will help reinforce the illusion, making it more clear that the feeding belt is higher up, even in tight areas.

Sure, its all illusion, but given the new belt visuals, it seems appropriate.

Will not happen.

Probably not. Still seems worth suggesting though.

What if the end of a belt is always raised? That should look okay too.

Alternatively a belt that just ends wants a fence to stop the items falling off.

It does look way better than the MC Escher painting that the ends of belts sometimes end up looking like in their current state...
