Visible item rail transfer

[mptrace]

Be honest,

everyone likes the baggage claim rails on airports.
Therefore i intensely request cargo rails, maybe only for decorative purpose. I know there are wires but i want something to play with (Take a look at "Factorio").

They could carry cargo spaces or even floating items (oookaay we're in space - gravity could become a problen but just be creative! )

In that relation i also kindly request rail wedges^^

it'd be neat but it'd lag like hell if you do any real production

It would not lag as badly if the space for cargo crates is reserved in advance.

For normal docks, you need a ship-core, indicator, extra chunk, etc. etc.
For this you only need to reserve conditional collision volume 1 space above the rail.

hehe i think if you render every single capsule there would be a explosion-like item-nuke on the output - but with the floating items you also pick up many at once, while there is only one capsule visible... so i guess thats not a big problem, just a brain-teaser for the devs... maybe combine it with the pull amount thats set in storages
