Did they ever improve the belt system? I played it in early access and it was a chore to get belts to tile reasonably and be able to manifold off of them to feed more than one factory
They continue to improve the building and placement across the board, so that really depends on when you were playing. It remains in early access but its very solid at this point.
Coffee Stain (Satisfactory Dev) made improvement with the games. They are on Update #5 now and soon will be releasing Update #6. Try it out now to see if they fix it.
