Deconstructing "straight rail"s deconstructs all rails

Post by dspyz »

The deconstruction planner filter menu only has a single rail option labelled "straight rail" and it seems to deconstruct curved rails too

How is that a bug ? you can remove elevated rail by removing the support, it will also remove the signals but you can't have floating signals anyway.

Edit: curve rails are the same as non curve rails when you build them, they are the same item :(

Not a bug. This list would be a lot noisier so we have deconstruction alternatives set. Same with all the rocks (which means coal rocks are not selectable alone now)

Perhaps it should just say "rail" instead of "straight rail"?
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

Yes exactly

In 1.1, there were separate options for "straight rail" and "curved rail". Now if you're going to have one that deconstructs both instead, it seems like it ought to just be called "rail"
