Auto connect, pieces now orient themselves to connect when you place them, drop a belt next to a dropper and it turns to carry the ore away, drop a dropper next to a belt and it faces the belt, drop a belt between two lines and it bridges them, if the rotation you set with R already connects it is always respected, so auto connect only steps in when a piece would otherwise sit dead, machines, corners, splitters and processors keep full manual rotation since their sides carry meaning
Connection feedback, joining two pieces now fires a gold flash on both cells and a crisp click, so every good connection feels locked in
Big sale celebrations, a sale that is both unusually large for your factory and worth a real chunk of income now triggers a proper moment, a louder fanfare, a brief whole screen thump, a gold flash on the coins counter, an expanding ring at the processor and a wider, denser coin burst, jackpot sales go gold
Eight new achievements, Trillionaire for 1T lifetime earned, Ultrafactory for 1B a minute, Ascendant for reaching Rebirth 10, Magnate for 100 contracts, Conglomerate for 15 compactions, Chief Mechanic for 50 tasks, Site Legend for engineer level 30 and Mass Exporter for 10k boxed goods sold
Jam indicator, a machine that stays backed up for more than a few seconds now pulses a red border so a real stall is obvious at a glance, without turning on the full flow overlay, normal belt queueing and packagers mid fill are ignored so it only fires on genuine jams

Drag painting now flows, belts painted in a single stroke orient along your drag and automatically bend into the right corner when the line turns, laying out a route is fast and clean, it only ever touches belts from that same stroke and costs nothing extra
Sale celebrations are carefully tuned to stay rare, a steady line selling identical boxes stays calm and a big upgrade celebrates for a few sales then settles, so the big moments keep meaning something
The new achievements are all tied to stats that survive rebirth, their rewards scale automatically and they show up in the Awards menu on their own

Rebirthing no longer wipes your achievements or spams a wall of unlock toasts, they now carry across rebirths as they should
