Make your elevated rail network see-through with a single button press! Perfect for managing complex multilevel factories without losing visibility.

Features:
• One-click toggle for all elevated structures on the map
• Separate transparency settings: Rails (50% default) and Supports/Ramps (25% default)
• Smart selectability: At 100% transparency, entities become click-through
• Pipette tool (Q) gives normal rail items when used on transparent variants

Known bugs:

•Might momentarily stop running trains mid track, it's a Factorio engine thing...
•Replacing 20k+ entities is slow, and might momentarily lag the game when map has massive amounts of rails

How to Use:
Click the rail shortcut button to toggle transparency
You can set to 100% for completely invisible, and non-selectable elevated rails
