Conveyor belts need a better way of being rotated #28687

It's almost impossible to see what direction they're going in the construction menu

deltanedas commented 4 weeks ago

The problem is that belts can go either way depending on state

I reckon it would be good to pattern both ends of the conveyor, and have the same patterns on levers to mirror belt directions

Interestingly, the conveyor.rsi folder has indicator lights but I haven't seen them used for either belts or levers https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/tree/24055021776c814bd14d3abac5256aaa6fbd66cc/Resources/Textures/Structures/conveyor.rsi

Doubly interestingly, we have a bunch of conveyor_old.rsi sprites, which have direction https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/tree/24055021776c814bd14d3abac5256aaa6fbd66cc/Resources/Textures/Structures/conveyor_old.rsi
