Changelog

Version: 2.0.0
Date: 08. 24. 2026
  Features:
    - Reworked Parallel Belt Builder into a virtual belt drawing and planning tool.
    - Added a dedicated drawing tool that creates a virtual path instead of recording an already-built reference belt.
    - Added support for Count 1 through 16. Count now starts at 1 whenever PBB is opened.
    - Added single-belt drawing support using the same workflow as multi-lane placement.
    - Added drag-release placement. The plan is placed when the player releases the drawing drag.
    - Added L-shaped path drawing with a configurable bend toggle control.
    - Added anchor support for creating multi-segment paths while drawing.
    - Added automatic belt selection from the transport-belt item held in the player's cursor.
    - Added dynamic transport-belt prototype discovery and speed-based belt list sorting.
    - Added per-lane underground belt planning.
    - Added underground entrance and exit preview markers.
    - Added blocked markers for positions that cannot be placed normally or undergrounded.
    - Added lightweight line-based preview for planned lanes.
    - Added Start and Anchor editing markers that remain visible independently of placement-plan validity.
    - Added Factorio standard Undo integration for entities and ghosts newly created by a PBB placement.
  Changes:
    - Removed the old reference-belt recording workflow.
    - Removed the assumption that the first lane already exists in the world.
    - Removed the minimum parallel count of 2.
    - Removed the default Count value of 4.
    - Removed the Confirm button workflow.
    - Existing same-type, same-direction belts and equivalent ghosts are now reused instead of replaced or charged again.
    - Normal placement can now mix physical entities and ghosts when inventory is only partially available.
  Info:
    - PBB does not automatically remove obstacles, replace existing entities, landfill terrain, destroy cliffs, or route around obstacles.
    - Modded transport belts are supported on a best-effort basis when they behave like normal transport-belt prototypes.

Version: 1.0.3
Date: 07. 26. 2026
  Features:
    - Removed the `Start` button. Recording now starts automatically when the first reference belt is placed while the GUI is open.
    - Added direct numeric input for the parallel belt count, in addition to the existing `+` and `-` buttons.
    - In editor mode and cheat mode, Normal placement now builds physical belts without checking or consuming inventory items.
