Pro tip: to build in a line before 1.1, click to place a belt and then move the character in a cardinal direction with one of W/S/A/D while holding the mouse button down. You can lay a straight line of any item this way (including e.g. pipe, etc)

Trees will bump you around and knock you off line. It's rare, and it was really the spidertron that made this an issue
Unless you're in the spider, sometimes it will change lanes on you.
The problem is that its super slow because you're limited by walking speed. Its also problematic for ghost prints
Just get 8 exoskeletons.
It takes only 4 + a concreted base to get to the point where it will skip some belts as you're moving too fast.
