A good revert for sure. You want to make the process less fiddly in the majority of common use cases, not more. In the end it is never going to be perfect so as long as it works good the vast majority of the time it is fine.

I'm very happy this was reverted, indeed!

Sure, I could argue that there's 1-in-one-thousand cases where the new behaviour might have saved me half a drag action but in every other case it just totally irked me that the behaviour had changed to something different that doesn't really save time.

Do I click and drag in the wrong direction, ever? No I do not.

Do I click and drag but miss one tile at the start? Oh yes! All the time. And for all the years I've played factorio, I could just "scrub" back over that tile to fix it until the behaviour changed. Sure: if the new mode had always been the old mode, I might never have learned that muscle memory but that's another time-line.

Thanks for reverting this!

Reverted belt building changes from 2.0.61.

I Realy did like this feature could you maybe ad the option to re-enable it in the settings for people like me who liked it ?

Could be one of those things where it sees biased feedback between playertype, e.g. new, speedrunner, expert, pro, casual etc. I've got 2k-ish play but am very casual/slow in my play style and I've had more use with the newer style than the older style. It's probably worth a setting (and what is the best common default?). After all, if someone is expending the effort/care to post feedback on reddit, steam, this, or any forum. They are inevitably more likely going to be a poweruser minority/subgroup type.
