Belt Brush


This mod adds a beltbrush tool like the one from Picker Belt Tools (because I miss it and am losing efficiency without it). This mod will build belts as you go, but doesn't (currently) support any sort of "smart belt building" mode style belt brush.

i Balancers?

Do you have any plans to include the belt balancer functionality as well? I've actually been working on releasing a 2.0 update for the various Picker mods (from Picker Extended discussion tab), minus the stuff that's already been recreated by other mods (like the Even Pickier Dollies mod, replacing Picker Dollies), and this one might just save me a ton of work, if it can include the Belt Balancer functionality.

I've noticed it's also a missing a couple of other nice features, now that I've played with it a bit more (most notably, not being able to autoplace belt from the inventory, without bots). I actually had an unofficial (not entirely working) version of Picker Belt Brush in my Google Drive, that has both the balancers and autoplacing belt from inventory features (though corner functionality is notably not working properly, because of the new directionality)

I do plan to do balancers (I'm actually actively working on them right now, along side getting some of those other niceties like what you mentioned implemented).

Thanks for the swift inclusion of the Belt Balancers, and the auto placing feature! The version I was trying to fix had a lot of problems, so this saved me so much work, I was able to release the Picker Replacement mod earlier than expected.

I also added this mod to a modpack containing most of the 1.1 Picker features (so it's mostly just a QOL pack).

One minor nitpick is that when scrolling through the list of blueprints, the belt brush orientation is reset to facing north, while the original Belt Tools mod kept its orientation. It's a very minor thing, but a notable one that would nice to fix. From my testing, (and excluding underground belt support mentioned on the Information tab), that was the only real issue. Pipe to ground support would probably be similar to underground belt, and I think you were also able to do it with inserters, but neither was never a critical feature for me (compared to the main brush and balancer)
