Please can you make it so that when you are are in the early game without construction robots and are using a blueprint the belts are initially placed in the direction of the belt on the blueprint, this would encourage using blueprints in the early game and just improve the qol.

fast manual filling of bp
+1

at the moment I guess the only trick to do it 'fast' is to build first belts of same direction, and everytime there is another object or another direction (for the belts F.E., oder inserters etc) you abandon your in-hand-holding-item with `q` and then use the pipette-tool with `q` and it will give you the right item or the belt in the right direction into your hand


but +1 would be cool tho..

Inserters too. And underground pipes.

IMO just hovering over the spot should place the item if you have it in your inventory but that's just me.

And yes I know there's a mod for that. I use it
