I have placed somewhere in my build a infinity accumulator (editor extensions) and cannot find the damned ting anymore - I tried this with a bp - but there the acc also does not show up - any hint?

Did you try a filtered deconstruction planner? Should be able to spread that over everything in your base and it'll get marked.

If you know the Internal Name of the entity, you can find (and Delete!) all of them on the player's current Surface using the
LUA Console:
Code: Select all
/c for _, v in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{type="electric-energy-interface"}) do
v.destroy()
end
Good Luck!

Thank you very much.
The 'destroy' command for a specific item is actually not listed in the provided LUA file—and even if it were, as a layman, I wouldn't have known how to formulate the command as you did. So, I truly appreciate your help.
That being said, it would be helpful if the developers provided some guidance for laymen like me on how to properly formulate such commands.
