Thanks for the report however it's connected to the whitelist/blacklist in exactly the way a whitelist/blacklist functions and is doing exactly as expected.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
I still think that "whitelist" / "blacklist" on decon planners should be "deconstruct" / "ignore".
Makes it much clearer what it does and how it interacts wtih "trees rocks only".
But I wrote that in a suggestion which gets ignored by the devs for a bad reason:
the original suggestion was using political correctness as a justificaton to rename, but I disagree with that reasoning.
This report shows that I am not the only person being confused by the meaning of "whitelist" / "blacklist" for decon planners.
Think about Strafe-jumping (bunny hopping), what was clearly a bug felt like a feature and as a result added to the game.
the same thing can happen in reverse, even if it's not a bug, if it feels like a bug the game could feel less polished or worse
