[2.0.69] Deconstruction Planner ignores non-base-quality items on floor

Post by zsoltvaradi »

Using a Deconstruction Planner with a whitelist filter for “items on the ground” only marks base-quality alien orbs for deconstruction; non-base qualities (indicated by the small quality dots) are skipped, so construction robots never pick them up.

Steps to Reproduce:
  • Kill monsters until multiple alien orbs of mixed qualities drop on the ground.
  • Equip a deconstruction planner from inventory.
  • Configure the planner with a whitelist containing the floor items (no other filters).
  • Box-select the area with the dropped orbs.
  • Observe which items are marked for deconstruction.
Expected Behavior
All alien orbs on the ground—regardless of quality tier—are marked for deconstruction and picked up by robots.

No filter is not an option, if it is set to pick any quality, it will.
