Visual Indicator of Balancer Priority

19 votes

The wording on the balancers is confusing. Changing from 3 2-position sliders to 2 3-position sliders ([incoming|outgoing]: priority X, no priority, priority O) would be clearer as would having the sliders visually change the balancer object with priority arrows displayed on it like the yellow arrows found on the Factorio splitters.

In line with this suggestion, a visual indication of any port that has been assigned priority (in or out) would be useful and negate the need to open each Balancer to determine which port has been given priority. Very cumbersome particularly when you have some complex arrangements of conveyors, sorters and Balancers being used between multiple manufacturing plants. Maybe use a green dot to indicate any port that has been assigned inwards priority and use yellow to indicate outwards priority.
