It would be nice to have a feature where drones can auto route train tracks and conveyor belts with just a starting and end point, would make those really long conveyor belt/track lines easier to put down.

This already exists for trains. There's a mod for belts but generally I want more control over those.

Shift click a rail arrow, you can now define an endpoint with the startpoint and direction of the arrow you just clicked.
Rotate to change the rotation of the endpoint, hold shift to auto-deconstruct trees.

You're better off blueprinting rail sections tho since you'll probably also want power poles and signals along the way.

For belts, you can just blueprint a section and stamp that down.
Since they can do 90° turns in 1 tile, an auto-planner would be overkill.
