Suggestion for Gates to Auto Drag over Rail when placing Wall

What ?

When dragging wall, if you run over straight rail, Gates are placed automatically (If in your inventory already)
Similarly to how underground belts are seamlessly placed when dragging belt over an obstacle

Why ?

Just QoL.

This could be nice to have.

EDIT: Days later, and I'm noticing I butchered the spelling of half my sentence. *mumbles something about hating touchscreen keyboards on phones*

Should be also possible with special types of underground and modable, to add for example street underground, which builds automatically gates when walled.

What is when you don’t have gates in inventory: IMHO it should be consequent and paint blueprints instead.

Makes sense. A similar function already happens with belts when another object is obstructing.

Rotation of gate derived from rail direction, if rail isn't straight then building won't occur(?)
