Background: Facilities have predetermined resource types for each input and output. We can see the mapping when placing the facility - however once it's built there is no indicator what a port outputs.
Suggestion: Add indicator near each port to show what type of resource comes out / is required as input.

You *can * achieve this by activating belt build mode and hovering over the machine, however we have been asking for this for a while so you get my vote.

I noticed the hover with conveyor seems to not work sometimes. I have noticed where it will show me the input / output of every building except the one I want to connect to.

Yes sometimes you just need to leave the conveyor menu and redo.

I can understand the outputs being predetermined, but it'd be nice if the multiple inputs were not predetermined. As long as the needed product is getting in, it shouldn't matter what is coming in whichever input.

worse, the cargo dock has 3 outputs that are unmarked (appear as "?"), but they're actually pre-filtered
