How can I mass cancel deconstruction commands for objects marked for deconstructrion by assholes joining the public server?

the same way you would mark things for deconstruction, except you hold shift.

yes he asked for a command that clears all the marks in one blow on the whole map.

im sorry i have no clue

Well, Looking at the API, "cancel_deconstruction(force)" for an entity is clearly the way to go. You need to select all entities effected, and apply it. Not sure how to do that part. Not good with command scripts myself.

Prepare for some potential lag while it runs

/c for _, entity in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities()) do entity.cancel_deconstruction(game.player.force) end

Thanks, all your replies are really useful.
