Small indestructable rocks

[Boefjim]

I've built my first big base, but now there are some small indestructable walk-trough rocks in my base and for some reason they are located higher than the floor.
Is there any way to erase them? Because now there's just a random rock in my base.

Did you try hovering over them and shooting them with a SMG and maybe armor-piercing rounds to speed up the process?

if you can't attack the rock, then it's usually a rock that you can make disappear by placing a building on top of them.

I tried placing a building over it, but when I removed the building the rock was still there

The rock is unselectable, and when I shoot it with a shotgun/flamethrower it just flies trough.

These are just for aesthetics, and can't be destroyed but also don't get in the way of anything. Unfortunately nothing you can really do about these except ignore them or just build over them. :p

Though they are indeed not obstructing anything it kinda bothers me everytime I walk past it, there should be some kind of way to get rid of them, or hide them at least.
But I don't think they should be completely erased, as it does make the enviroment look more immersive in the early game.

Probably should be destroyed properly when you place a building or concrete over them however.

They don't. I already placed concrete over them, as seen in the picture, and placing a building (I tried assembly, solar panel and a electricity storage thing forgot what it is called) over it the rock, but those don't work either...

I've had success with Belts.

Placing and removing straight away and they're gone.

Ok, I'll try it

They bug me too. I use this command to get rid of them:

Code: Select all

/c for _, entity in ipairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{area={{game.player.position.x-6400, game.player.position.y-6400}, {game.player.position.x+6500, game.player.position.y+6500}}, name="small-rock"}) do entity.destroy() end

Looks like they changed it in 0.12. I believe in 0.11, those rocks stayed no matter what was built over them. But in 0.12, they do disappear when a belt or machine is built over them.
