Clockwise conveyor belt?
How do you make a clock-wise conveyor belt?

Self craft one (press "c"), then add it to your hotbar in the position you want.

Any(?) self-craftable item in your hotbar will autocraft when you attempt to place it and have the ingredients in your inventory (in this case a straight conveyor).

In the corner or sloped conveyor's case it will also drop a straight conveyor when you destroy it. I would advise making a hotbar section for conveyors (straight, left, right, up, down).

Alternately, simply place it on the hotbar from the '=' menu and begin auto-crafting to them from straights right away.

I was missing the clock-wise conveyor belt altogether in the crafting menu. I found it in the project I crash landed with I hadn't researched yet.

The clock-wise conveyor belt still wasn't added to the crafting menu. Apparently, I need to unlock it?

Didn't realize I could self-craft. Why isn't it in the base crafting menu though?

Because these are two distinct forms of crafting. The self-crafting is built around the notion of crafting on the go. It's the source of all auto-craft recipes so that you don't need to make a special trip to a plant to make them.

I'm restarting my save because my mine shaft has belts going clockwise and I don't see anything to do with how to make the corner pieces for them. I obviously chose the wrong twist direction. And/or missed something in the tutorial.

See I can turn a conveyor belt into a counter-clockwise corner all day, But where to craft clockwise is a damn mystery to me.

All conveyor variants are made in the self-craft menu (C). These are intrinsically auto-crafted so you can also just put them on your hotbar from the '=' menu and just auto-craft them from the straight variant.
