Something that would also be really useful is a generic belt / underground / splitter that gets assigned its color when you put it down. It would clean up balancer books for example. And it's a way to introduce this feature earlier, or for people who aren't so heavily into complex trai...
Commonly, merging and un-merging is done by using a splitter. The trick in the second gif is better described in the underground belt section. Lane balance Due to how items are placed onto belts by inserters, their lanes can sometimes become unbalanced. In order to maintain throughput, bal...
The area in red is a good way to get around this. By having a splitter, you can move the far belt from your production in close while also allowing it to continue down the line for later use. For the copper, we use an underground belt to go underneath the area that is now taken ...
I agree that there should be a better way for splitting a belt into its individual lanes, since the underground belt trick is an ugly hack and not intuitive. However, I don't like the idea of sideloading into a splitter. I am also against inserters being able to interact directly with ...

and the setup breaks when you run out of power for a small while as inserters would stop but not the belts. The setup can be made in a way that it doesn't break even in this case, but it makes it even more awkward. With the splitter filter, we have an easy way to reliably spe...
