[2.0.60] Quality filter of deconstruction planner does not work for items on ground
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2025 4:42 pm
Summary
Deconstruction planner does not appear to identify quality correctly when deciding which items on ground to mark for deconstruction.
Context
I'm playing with quality for the first time, and I have gone and done something dumb and started my smelter producing quality base products without anything to pull them out of the main bus first. Now I have quality iron and copper plates polluting the entire factory. I thought this would be an easy fix with a deconstruction planner, filter for "Item on ground" set the quality filter to ">" "Quality: Normal" and it'll mark every item on the ground with any quality more than standard, and I can just vacuum it all up in one fell swoop. This doesn't work however. It turns out that the deconstruction planner considers anything with a quality dot indicator to still be "Normal" quality. It clearly HAS the filters, they should apply correctly.
Details
Mods: None (other than "Quality"? Does that count as a mod, since it's implemented as a mod?)
