Automated landfill should be optional

Post by Soul-Burn »

TL;DR
Automated landfill should not be the default for shift build. It should either be an option, or limited to super-force build, as it was in FFF-383.
Why?
While automated landfill is great when you *want* to build over water or in space, many times it's not wanted. For example:
  • When building walls in water choke points. I want to remove trees, but not build on water, as that reduces the defense for no reason
  • When building accumulators on Fulgora. I don't want to spend expensive foundations, but still have the option to build near the edges
What?
Automated landfill should limited to super force building, for the reasons explained in FFF-383, or an optional feature in the settings.

+1, I had to make a deconstruction planner to keep removing landfill over water while I placed refined concrete. Whether because I want the water or can't afford the landfill, I don't like having to clean up after myself as the default, when previously it was fine.

+1, going back to Fulgora is annoying after having unlocked Foundation.

Pre-foundation you can just spam shift concrete everywhere, and let robots deal with it eventually, after, you have to manually walk around & place the concrete.

+1 I don't need stuff out on the ocean, and if I did I'd use Super Force build mode. Regular shift would be better not to automatically landfill

+1 Fine control would be nice. Global settings and possibly separate settings for each blueprint.

Alternatively, automatic Landfill might be fine, but pasting concrete and the like shouldn't automatically place foundation IMHO.
