Add Deconstruction to Blueprints

[CheeseMcBurger]

TL;DR

Blueprints should also be able to deconstuct entities at specific locations, not only where new entities are being build.

What and Why?

I have places a grid of roboports and electic poles across my entire base. I want to replace the eletric poles with substations. The substation require a different placement. They are not being built on top of the electric poles. You can see the placement in the image below.

I wish that I could mark certain cells in the blueprint-grid with "remove entity". In the example below, it would be the specific grid-cells where you see the ghosts. That way I could just plop down the improved blueprint and it would spare me removing hundreds of electric poles by hand.

Using a deconstruction planner is not possible, because I have eletric poles all over my base and want to remove only these specific poles and these specific places.

Put something you don't use elsewhere like wooden chests in those spots. Deconstruct wooden chests after.

That's merely a workaround. But thanks for the suggestion regardless, I did not think of this to solve this issue before the devs help with it
