+- **Sloped belts and filters (t40, 2026-10-25).** The owner asked for belts, then filters, to work
+  diagonally like tubes and walls. A Belt or Filter drag at about 45° lays slope-shaped blocks
+  whose face is a running belt, carrying grains and bars up or down in the drag's direction at
+  flat-belt speed; the face grips its load, so nothing slides back. A sloped filter drops what it
+  passes out underneath and carries the rest. New block codes (19-22), so saves still load.
