[v1.1.74] It's possible to set a deconstruction planner filtered on landfill while landfill can't be removed

[vangrunz]

Hello,

adding as the only thing "Landfill" on "Tiles" in a Deconstruction Planner, leaving the list mode to "Whitelist" and changing the drop box to "Only", while nothing is set in "Entities", won't let me remove any landfill tiles.

Is there any other way to remove accidentally placed landfill tiles?

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but it is (no idea why, I don't like it) done so on purpose.

Hm, the only question I ask myself why I can add a "Landfill" tile on a Deconstruction Planner if it's not inteded?

For me, it's only cosmetical, because I have a mod where I can place the Offshore Pumps everywhere. Additionally, there would be also a mod called "Water Fill", of what I've seen but not used, currently. It's quite hard not to make any mistakes while landfilling water. One spike too much in a straight edge can ruin your plan. Because land filled ground has an unique look you'll always see that this place was once water. This even stays if you put concrete on top of it and remove it.

The inability to remove landfill in vanilla is by design, this part is not a bug.

The ability to set up a deconstruction planner explicitly for deconstructing landfill while deconstructing landfill is impossible might be considered a bug though, so Ill leave this thread here.

Thanks for the report. Landfill can be added to the deconstruction planner because by doing so it filters which tile ghosts will be selected. Since landfill can be part of a tile ghost landfill can be in the deconstruction planner filters.

Am I right that this landfill is one of the only scenarios where I can deconstruct only ghosts but not set tiles/entities?

So landfill seems to be the only irreversible thing in Factorio, at least known to me (apart from mining resources, unless you use mods which can make them infinite).

Nevermind, I've added a cute Waterfill mod to circumvent this issue.

You can manually deconstruct landfill tiles by selecting them and giving the deconstruction order. Simply hover over a landfill tile and press the deconstruction key (usually the right mouse button) or use the deconstruction planner to mark the landfill tiles for removal.
