I used one of the red blueprint things, and randomly ticked off my whole base to see how much my base was worth, and now it's covered with the red 'x' things. How do I untick or get rid of the red 'x's?

To be honest, I am not completely sure if that's possible at all. But if you find an answer, it would be nice to know

At the moment, it's not possible to cancel deconstruction. Probably a good idea to load one of those autosaves.

Well, I'm screwed

Delete all roboports from the save.

How about using the console and game.player.selected.canceldeconstruction() while hovering over an entity
or perhaps this would be more useful (make 20 larger if necessary, but keep in mind that the larger the number the longer the scan takes)

Code: Select all

for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentities{{game.player.position.x-20, game.player.position.y-20},{game.player.position.x+20, game.player.position.y+20}}) do if entity.force.equals(game.player.force) then entity.canceldeconstruction() end end

How do I do that exactly I'm pretty confused?

To open the console press the ~ (next to the 1 on most keyboards), then you should be able to paste in what I wrote. Sorry, I usually mention it when I mention the console, so of course the one time I don't the other person doesn't know

As for deleting the roboports, just mine them...? Not sure if there's really a better way (well console commands would work as well), but even so both of these methods may be too slow to save everything, depending on how many bots you have waiting to deconstruct the entities.

FreeEr, I think you just need to link to https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... e_commands

I'm getting this error when trying that command:

Ah, my bad, canceldeconstruction takes the 'force' that should try to deconstruct the entity. I haven't actually had much chance to use it so forgot that detail

so inside of the "()" for it add "game.player.force" so it should look like:

Code: Select all

    for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentities{{game.player.position.x-20, game.player.position.y-20},{game.player.position.x+20, game.player.position.y+20}}) do if entity.force.equals(game.player.force) then entity.canceldeconstruction(game.player.force) end end

edit: If the force is not the same as the entity's then canceldeconstruction will throw an error, not an issue here since the code only calls it on entities with the player's force, but it still needs the force to complete the call.

Unable to cancel trees?

I use this:

Code: Select all

for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentities{{game.player.position.x-20, game.player.position.y-20},{game.player.position.x+20, game.player.position.y+20}}) do  entity.canceldeconstruction(game.player.force) end

Speculation:
Trees aren't in the player force. I think if you swapped each use of "player" for "neutral", that command would work.

Posted: **Wed Oct 29, 2014 11:46 pm**

Code: Select all

for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentities{
  {game.player.position.x-20, game.player.position.y-20},
  {game.player.position.x+20, game.player.position.y+20}}) 
do  
  entity.canceldeconstruction(game.player.force) 
end

I have tested this against structures too

It works for me.

Readability: The game ignores newlines when pasting "scriptlets" in the console. This means we can write them in a human readable form, making understanding and editing a bit easier.

Thanks! That looks very good in a bordered box.

Someone can fix the others-

Is there still no in-game solution to cancel a deconstruction ? (apart the code?)

Posted: **Fri Feb 27, 2015 3:37 am**

Not a mass deconstruction, no.
