Adding Blacklist item in deconstruction planner sets tiles to never

Post by reduke »

I can understand why adding a Whitelist item would set the tile filter to never, but Blacklist is a specific set to exclude - If I don't exclude tiles, then logically I don't expect it to exclude them for me - but every time an item is added, I have to reset the tile filter back to Normal.

Even if this is a deliberate behaviour to prevent accidental removal of tiles (which I doubt as a brand new empty planner will remove tiles), when I've reset it once in a planner, it shouldn't keep reverting.

Looking at the code, this was explicitly changed in 2020 to work this way.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

That is surprising. Is there any detail on why such a change would have been implemented?
