Deconstruction planner cannot mark legacy tracks

Post by ElderAxe »

The deconstruction planner cannot mark legacy tracks for deletion if rail tracks are chosen for the whitelist filter.
Maybe having a separate entity for them would be better so it can only deconstruct legacy tracks and keep the new ones.

For a workaround you can import this deconstruction planner which is configured to 1.1.x rails only. I can ask if it would be ok to make rail item in deconstruction planner to also cover 1.1.x rails by default.

If the goal is for everyone to tear up their legacy rails and replace them with new, a working deconstruction planner would certainly help :D

Thanks for the report. In 2.0.9 using deconstruction planner configured for straight-rail will correctly mark legacy rails for deconstruction.

-- edit: On top of that, deconstruction planner from earlier will still work and will select only legacy rails.

Thanks, though I think it would be useful to allow people to naturally select the legacy rails since that would allow them to replace their network with only new rails. I have a save with ~100k rails, there's no way I would ever replace them without a way of distinguishing between them.

That said, I can use this blueprint, as long as I never lose it. :P
