Update yellow arrow placement graphics on inserters

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Update yellow arrow placement graphics on inserters

Post by bfayer »

It's not clear based on the current graphics where inserters pick and place to. For example, a normal inserter places on the further side of a belt but picks from both sides of a belt. The yellow line and arrow graphic during placement could be modified to represent this by shifting the line after the arrow over and by having a double yellow line on the picking side. The same for all other inserters

Well, I know what you mean (btw. they prefer to take from the inner lane), this is also useful for miners.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Good to know. The only reason I even figured out that they placed on the opposite side of a belt was from the tips at the beginning of a new game. I probably played 20 hours without realizing it on my own.
