Although I do like the idea, the current implementation of fast replacable means you can only replace a 1x1 with a 1x1, etc. Electric Furnaces actually share the same fast replace group as stone and steel, but can't be replaced because of the size difference.

I use the prosilver board style. Your text is too light to read, in fact because your post was in the "dark" background post rotation, it was almost impossible to even distinguish from the background at all.

Well, quite off topic, but I can surely say, that if you cannot read the above you need to calibrate your monitor. But I agree, it's hard to read. The problem is to find a color, which works for all layouts.

It's a laptop, there's not a lot you can do to calibrate though, just do a software gamma shift or something which has limited results. Anyway, I agree, it is hard coming up with a colour that works everywhere.

watch out with auto removing between underground belts...lots of people use them to span assemblers. The times where I would want stuff auto-removed vs times I wouldn't want it feels like its 50/50

But wouldn't that a good idea: Put assembly over a belt, place it. Zommmg! Underground belts under the assembly!

Well I wouldn't make a full automatic out of that (like with the ideas with the automatic choosing of fluids I'm not a fan of such "too smart automatics"), but I think some kind of half-automatic would help a lot (Stupid example: "Replace belt with underground belt? Y/N? How long should the underground belt be? 1-4?").

Well, I dunno exactly, how such complex replacements could work in detail (stupid questions is of course not the right way!) , but I really think, that replacing splitter is just one minimal part of that suggestion.

A quick replace of the belt and underground belt would work just leave whatever is in the middle alone
