Much like we now can modify pillars for tracks, it would be a huge QOL to have one for conveyors. Sometimes the conveyor pillars are just in the wrong spot which prevents trucks from passing underneath or if you add onto an existing conveyor line, it adds a pillar even though one might not be necessary and there's nothing you can do about it.
Modify Conveyor Pillars
I absolutely agree with this. Conveyor pillar placement is a mess that's very difficult to clean up. If conveyors are stacked, they should obviously share the pillars that are already there. Also, I think there should be a 'road' surface that doesn't allow pillar placement, because often I have trucks passing through a certain place and then I add one more conveyor and it blocks everything. Then I have to manually clip out the section and make the span correct. And THEN it adds MORE pillars at each end of my new section, even if they are right next to existing pillars.
Agree with this idea; in some builds, especially around complex systems like diesel production, we'll cut and paste frequently, and at some junctions we'll end up with massive numbers of pillars in very small areas. This makes it hard to see what's going on in the lower sections of pipes.
There is a hack to remove pillars. If you add to the transport starting at the pillar in planning mode then delete the section you added, it removes the pillar from the transport. I havent used it extensively so not sure it works in all cases but does work. Not the best but works until we get an option to remove/replace pillars.
I think the Pillars should be a separately placable item. Then we can put them wherever we like.
