Conveyors going the wrong way

I know that's confusing a lot of players in there first game...so I'm making it more apparent with this:

With any luck that clears up the confusion.

That will be a big help. Would also be nice if you can more easily fix that issue. You might want to take some inspiration from Factorio/Riollercoaster tycoon here. It should be possible to build fron destination to origin (right now you can't because it will affect direction).

I do wonder about whether in cases like that(above) I should just flip all the conveyors the other way silently, but then...i worry this attempt to 'help' could cause other problems. I shall check in this fix (which makes life much better0 and see if people request that as a further improvement (or if they would rather I just left it).

Honestly that is a nightmware waiting to happen. E.g. if accidentally connect some belt on the side and then the ai devices to re-pave your entire line. Hahaha.

I get the retooling refund limitation but for belts might make sense to just let you rebuild them for free. I am sure the factory can reverse them :).

[cliffski]

well there are already researchable techs that make that retooling cost lower :D

IMO makes complete sense for machinery, less for the conveyor belts. Especially as long as placing them is a little tricky.

But that is just me :).

Place it down in a square and then drag the conveyor in the direction you want it to go.
