Deconstruction Planners Not Functionoing Correctly

Post by AellaCarina »

I have an odd behavior when trying to use the deconstruction planners:

If a filtered object, it won't select any object.
If no filtered object, it picks up everything (so this works fine).
If filter trees and rocks only, works.
If a blacklisted object, it picked up everything, including blacklisted objects.
Thoughts? I can say that they just now stopped working correctly.

I uploaded a video to YouTube so that you can see the behavior there.

You are filtering a different entity, look at the icons.

You're filtering for a ruin entity (added by a mod) with the same icon as the electric pole. Pick the electric pole from the first tab in the filter (logistics) instead of the tab with the tree icon.

Just explaining to you what is actually happening and why: You keep using modded filters and expect them to work on vanilla entities and vice versa.

I see that now, thank you. Didn't realize I was on that different tab.
