Toggle Belt Pathing Shapes (e.g., 'R' key) while Dragging

The current conveyor belt placement system is too rigid. When dragging to place belts between two points, the auto-guide often forces a specific shape (e.g., a "┐" shape). This lacks flexibility, forcing users to stop and manually place individual segments if they want a different layout, such as a "└" shape.

[Feature Request]
I suggest adding a feature that allows users to cycle through different pathing options while dragging.
By pressing a specific key (like 'R') while holding the Left Mouse Button, the preview should toggle between:

  1. Alternative L-shape orientations (e.g., switching from "┐" to "└").
  2. The most direct "Optimal Path" to save space.
  3. Different pathing algorithms (e.g., prioritizing straight lines).

This would give players much more freedom and significantly improve the efficiency of factory building.
