I realized that this might be a neat thing to add to the game after I made a lamp item counter for my logistics network but then didn't have a way to specify what each counter was counting from the map perspective... I would always have to look at the arithmetic combinator for what it was looking for. If I was able to do pixel art on the side of the counter to make a picture of the item it's counting that would be so much more helpful (especially because there are only 9 colors)
As you see in the picture below, I marked each counter on the map with an icon however, when you zoom in it becomes a little harder to tell which one is which, especially if you have an entire array of counters... (Also sorry if the pictures are large and take up a lot of space on the forum... first time posting)
