Replicating Belts

Info:
Adds replicating belts of each belt type, enabling non-blueprint belt placement with fewer clicks

• Name: Replicating Belts
• Latest Release/Changelog/Download: (see mod portal)
• Source: GitHub
• License: MIT

This is a helper mod to enable placement of belts without needing blueprints or holding down the mouse button - if a replicating belt is lined up with another, it will convert itself into a standard belt and place ghosts to connect to the belt it's aligned with. It saves your mouse hand some strain when laying extensive belts.



Common modded belt types are supported (see mod portal for up-to-date list), let me know if there's others that I've missed and should support.

Planned features:

• Configuration option for which underground belt type to use for each tier of replicating belt instead of the matching tier, override of max underground distance
• Configuration option to prefer underground belts, staying underground as much as possible instead of only going underground for obstacles
• Better images for the technologies

Looks really useful.
Considering I did place 100's long belt lines for main bus by using blueprint with 20-40 of them - this would be much nicer to use
