Build Mode: pause the whole factory in one click to rework a line without it draining or jamming, then resume when you're ready.
Quick bar: a row above the toolbar remembers your recently-used pieces so you can re-grab them with a single click.
Chain highlight: hover any piece with nothing selected to dim everything except the production line running through it — great for tracing or debugging a stalled chain.
Auto-connect: droppers, conveyors and machines now turn to link up automatically when placed, and dragging a belt line bends into corners on its own.
Jam warnings: a machine that's been backed up for a few seconds pulses red so you can spot bottlenecks at a glance.
Crown Bench (Rebirth 7): a new end-game machine that fuses a Gemstone and a Necklace into a Crown — the new top-tier good.
Dropper payback hints: every dropper in the build menu now shows its ore output per second and a rough payback time.
Blueprint cost preview: stamping a saved blueprint shows its total price (red when you can't afford it) and marks any blocked tiles.
Connection joints: linked conveyors now show a small steel coupling on the seam and flash white when they snap together.

Conveyors, tiles and machines now have subtle depth (a lit top edge and shaded base) so they read as raised hardware instead of flat blocks.
Output arrows are toned down so they guide the eye without overpowering the items on the belt.
The conveyor connection joint is smaller, cleaner and now sits perfectly centered on the belt.
The quick bar no longer nudges the toolbar up and down when you pick a piece.

The old circular "pop" effect on connecting pieces — replaced with a cleaner white snap flash and the steel seam joint.

On very narrow windows the quick bar stays on a single row and can run wide instead of wrapping.
