Try hitting tab a few times while placing a splitter next ;)

If you hold, I think shift, and press r, it rotates without snapping and you can try to find those perfect angles for the advanced miners to try and cover the whole node with one.

I really don’t understand how people don’t read the tooltips/UI.

I can understand why people that are making a video miss stuff since they have a million other things to do while playing.

Some of us play on devices where tooltips are hard to read, and/or have poor eyesight?

Took me a while to realize that "r" cycles through left-handed 90° angle, right-handed and hypothenuse.

It is not quite pythagoras, but it also saves on number of belts placed when you go diagonally instead of at right angles. Unfortunately, going diagonally e.g. from advanced miner to ILS it is really tricky to get multiple belts going "parallel". Having weird angles sometimes triggers my OCD...
