conveyor variability?

[Smokey Johnny]

I need a conveyor up and down variant for 1-2-3-4 tiles instead of 4 fixed. Any way? Seems so simple to have and would help so much in designing, instead of tearing down half my base to connect to the other half after changes.

Exactlly. basically you always have to use up elevator and chutes to even everything out....
Why is there a down anyway?

down is good if you build from a mountain or building a plant down a hill :D

i can't, chutes are then a bottleneck in terms of transition speed no?

is there something like that? i didnt noticed anything like that in the desricption of the conveyor modules... the whole convoyer system seem simplistic to me,... its functional but limited... which would be fine also, if we could automate trucks.... :D

i just started with the game... (just chugging from a loader into a doppel-hopper).
i manly use chutes and let stuff drop down in a hopper... also use the drop-sorter, because. the normaler sorter and the -1 elevation from them cause ocd-triggers in my headspace.... ;)

you can't even that stuff out without chutes...

its the same with the merger / splitter... its terrible to align and even out...

( i am coming from satisfacrory and i am kinda used to align everything to some personal astetic layout ^^ )
