Well, you could create a massive blueprint of your map, right click / remove all entities in the BP except belts, splitters, and undergrounds, then create a deconstruction planner that whitelists all belts, splitters and undergrounds. Then use the decon planner over your whole base, and re-stamp the belt ghosts with the 1st blueprint.

Assuming all areas are within roboport construction radius and you have enough storage for the decon.

I would back up your save before doing such a thing.

Code: Select all

/c 
for _, type in pairs{"transport-belt","underground-belt","splitter"} do
  for _, belt in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{type=type}) do
    for i = 1, belt.get_max_transport_line_index() do
      belt.get_transport_line(i).clear()
    end
  end
end

i treied the code out and it said: "cannot execture command. Error: LuaEntity doesn't contain key get_may_transport_line_index. stack traceback [string "for _, type in pairs{"transport-belt","under..."]:1: in main chunk"

Copy/paste it, don't try to type it manually.

You can copy with Ctrl C or Command C, and paste with Ctrl V or Command V.

Ah, you must be on 0.16 still. This code should work, but it might miss some underground belts.

Code: Select all

for _, type in pairs{"transport-belt","underground-belt","splitter"} do
  for _, belt in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{type=type}) do
    for i = 1, 2 do
      belt.get_transport_line(i).clear()
    end
  end
end
