Removing Ghost Entities with the Deconstruction Planner

[Double-D]

TL;DR

There is no way to remove large groups of ghost entities while leaving built structures surrounding them intact; A checkbox in the configuration menu of the deconstruction planner like "only ghost entities" would be helpful.

What ?

Often when building a placed blueprint or refining a build I need to remove ghost entities that have been placed down but those are the only things I want to remove not the constructed buildings. Deleting larger areas becomes tedious because the current solution is to painstakingly draw squares avoiding built structures or right-clicking several ghosts. A checkbox in the configuration menu of the deconstruction planner, like the "trees/rocks only" filter, would be very helpful for refining and updating builds in progress.

The deconstruction planner has filters and I think there is one for ghost entities.

If you're fast enough you can also select (→remove ghosts) and immediately shift-select (→ cancel deconstruction).
