Description

Using deconstruction planner from player's library to deconstruct an area via player.cursor_record.deconstruct_area invocation has no effect.

Reproduction steps

1. Start a new game, and place some belts and belt ghosts in vicinity of the shipwreck.
2. Create a deconstruction planner with a single whitelist filter for the belts.
3. Place deconstruction planner into player's library.
4. Pick the deconstruction planner from the library, and run the following snippet via console:

   Code: Select all

   /c game.player.cursor_record.deconstruct_area{surface=game.player.surface, force = game.player.force, by_player = game.player, area = {{-50, -50}, {50, 50}}}
   

Expected results

• In step (4), the deconstruction planner removes the belt ghosts.
• In step (4), the deconstruction planner orders deconstruction of constructed belts.

Actual results

• In step (4), belt ghosts are unaffected and remain on the surface.
• In step (4), constructed belts are unaffected, and are not marked for deconstruction.

Additional information

If the same deconstruction planner is put into player's inventory and the deconstruct_area is invoked via player.cursor_stack instead, everything works as expected. Presence/absence of filters in deconstruction planner does not seem to make any difference. Tested against plain vanilla (just the base game mod enabled) as well.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.

Thank you for fixing it this quickly
