I want to make my factory great (and nice) again!

[Kilitar]

Hello,
In fact I have 2 problems which iritate me when I am trying to build my factory aesthetically nice.

Problem 1: Pave everything with bricks/concrete.
Yeah. I like nice smooth factory with no nasty "natural surface". In old version - when I pave surface - most of nasty natural features were removed immediatelly. And if not the re-paving (remove pavement and place it again) remove them definitelly.
Now - some bushes, long grass etx looks like totally indestructible - growing throught any pavement surface. I would love to have a way to annihilate those nature organic trash definitelly.

Problem 2: Blueprint ignore powerlines design.
Ok. I build my "block". Orange electric powerlines place organically random. I cut powerlines and make them looks nice, straight and geometric to please my eye. Then I store it into blueprint. When I paste blueprint, i have random organic powerline trash again and I need to cut wires again and place them again by hand. Blueprints do not store my piece-of-powerline-art? It is sad for me .

Am I missing something or both features I am looking for are not present in game? Or if you can point me to mods which would solve my little obsession?

This mod seems to solve your first problem.

I advise you to split your subjects in different topics when they are not related.
Now this doesn't answer, so my contribution to the topic :

1) viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52399 (OP related, but the doodads subject is raised within the answers)
2) viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47949

You should definitely add your voice to both.

And this mod fixes power lines (most of the time):
