Hey, its great mod but I do not like constant gui element. Could you link it to vanilla floor size? or at least hide it when you do not have any belt in hand.
Great would be to show places where the items will be placed, just simple thing like colored field (like floors).
Other idea is to add other items, like underground belt, pipes or even assemblers (if size don't matter).
If you could add some logic, like 2(4/2) (4 belts 2 free space and another 4 belts) it would be great too. And then (with other items) it could be useful more, for example x(1/2) -inserter 2x free space inserter.
3rd and 4th idea may be too complicated and overpowered (and close to blueprints), but 1st and 2nd would make mod much better.
