assigning undergrounds with a designated channel (#) would allow undergrounds of the same color to be braided.

my idea would be that all undergrounds are defaulted to the same channel (say 0), but through some mechanic that I have not thought of, the channel could be reassigned. only underground of the same channel will connect.

I think that braiding UG belts without being limited by the belt types would become OP. Actually in MY opinion, the belt braiding in itself is in the grey zone between legitness and cheatiness. It is acknowledged as "legit" by the devs I think, even though I'm not sure it was explicitely a feature at the beginning, but it tickles my "shouldn't screw physics that much" fiber.
Note that it's a very personal opinion.

I agree.
