Graphical: Randomize Belt item stack sprites.

TL;DR
Use random item sprite per layer on a belt Stack
What?
Instead of a stack using the same sprite repeated up to 4 times, use one of the random available sprites, so that stacks of ore look disorderly instead of, uh, stacks of paper.
(Poor paint.net mockup)
- Belt.png (9.43 KiB) Viewed 187 times
- Belt2.png (11.03 KiB) Viewed 187 times
Why?
The stacks of ore look less like a pile of jumbled ore, than plastic cutouts, due to the perfectly repeated patterns in the stack. If it used one of the 4 random sprites instead, the illusion would be better maintained.

I strongly prefer the visual clarity over aesthetics: I really dislike this proposed change.
Regarding the aesthetics...

It's not a pile of jumbled ore. It's an orderly collection of 8 separate stacks per belt tile.

+1 we're in quantum state now
(though not so sure if it's so relevant for ores)
