[2.0.30] Deconstruction planner "Straight rail" also deletes curved rail

[tinker9]

1. What did you do?

Filtered by "Straight rail" in the deconstruction planner, then tried to delete straight rail overlapping curved rails

2. What happened?

Straight and curved rails were deleted.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

Only straight rails are deleted.
Or the filter is called "Any rail" or "Ground rail" instead.

If this was a feature request, I'd say there should be filters for straight and curved rails, ground and elevated. (There are already signals for them in the app, but they don't appear in the deconstruction planner.)

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Always

Not a bug, see 122385

Seems like an easy fix to change the filter name to "Ground rail" instead.

Seems like an easy fix to change the filter name to "Ground rail" instead.

Not easy, the way the game is coded is each entity can select another entity as a "deconstruction alternative",
so for your idea to work, you'd need to create a seperate "ground rail" entity, and have straight rail and curved rail list it as their deconstruction alternative.

Personally I'd just rename both straight and curved rails to just "rail" and then it's less confusing as the different shapes are just variants of rail (Similarly to how there are multiple distinct entities all labeled as "tree")
