Paint belts (cosmetic)

Post by Synchrose »

TL;DR
Paint-able belts (all) to make them easier to tell apart in complicated setups

What ?
This would have only cosmetic effects on the belts but help to organise them. Belts can be recoloured to visually distinguish them. The 'paint' comes off when the belt is removed. Note that this does not affect the default colours when placing, it can instead be painted over in the way a tier 1 belt can be easily supplanted with a tier 2 while keeping properties.

Why ?
WHY do you think it increases the value of Factorio as a game?
It would help players keep complicated setups of belts organised and trace which belt feeds where.

Ooh like the way you can change colours of trains and train stops, yes I love this idea!
My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power.

Are you looking for a feature that would automatically colour connected lanes? Or effectively just a manual paintbrush?
