Awesome Mod.
I think this is the only Mod with this kind of functionality.
Especially the multi Belt stuff seems pretty unique.

Unfortunatly alot of the 2.0 Factorio Gameplay takes place in Remote View.
Where this Mod unfortunatly doesnt work.

Whats your stance on this?

+1, I thought the mod was broken when I started testing it before I realized it just doesn't work in map view at all, and only works in the character view, where I spend a fraction of my day.

I agree it would ideally work in remote view. Unfortunately due to the hacky and silly way I implemented it, this is not obviously feasible to me. The problem is that the mod interprets belt ghost placement as a signal to "extend existing belt". There's no way to tell the mod where the start of the existing belt is, if you never place a non-ghost belt.

I have in mind a different UI and implementation - one where maybe you have a special placeholder item or tool that does belt placement. But I'm not sure that will pan out, and I unfortunately don't have the time to work on it just yet.
