      Number seven is a change to the way that things snap to each other.

      For example, with buildings or conveyor belts or whatever.

      So now, things snap with, uh, can snap to inputs and outputs.

      So you can have buildings that have, you know, inputs and outputs and they can snap to the input and output of other buildings.

      They also take what input it is into account.

      So, uh, it'll line up pipe input outputs to other pipe input outputs or conveyor input outputs to other conveyor input outputs.

      So not only is it buildings that snap, but also like conveyor belts, for example, they can snap now to inputs and outputs of other buildings, making it really easy to line up your conveyor belts to other buildings.

      Now, this is a really cool one.

      So like conveyor splitters and mergers now snap to building input and outputs along the conveyor belt.

      So this is really nice to place this.

      You can snap the those buildings after the fact.

      And the same thing applies to pipes and pipe junctions.

      So I think this is going to be a pretty useful feature that that's going to be.

      Yeah, it's going to get used a lot.

      Number eight is going to be kind of similar to the conveyor snapping things, but conveyor belts now, this is just a kind of weird thing, but conveyor belts can now be snapped to the conveyor poles that they're attached to, which basically what that means is if you hold control, you can make a straight conveyor belt now.
