Excuse me if this has already been added in 2.55, I didn't specifically check, but if not:

Diagonal Conveyors would be a good addition and I'd imagine it would be a fairly painless one to add on the engine side of thing.

I'm wondering if this could be faked with two conveyor combos cycling rapidly back and fourth between up, and left for example. This is hardly a good solution, just more or less an idea.

Potentially, but that does sound excessively janky though.

You could already today just script manually whatever conveyors you'd want though, it just seems like something that'd make sense to have packed in as a base feature.

Yes, I realize scripted solutions are a thing, I could make my own if I really wanted, that ain't the point of this thread.

i tried that back in the 1.92 days and it didn't seem to work :( even as rapid as you can make it it still kind of just is obviously alternating between left and up... that was a long time ago though, it's probably worth re-investigating

 

you can do some neat stuff with combo cycling conveyors though, like having whirlwinds sorta push link around by cycling through all four types
