I often find i very annoying that i have to remove huge amounts of forests, before i can plop down some random large blueprint.
As robots can already remove trees it would be very nice if you were allowed to place a blueprint on top of trees and that robots would automatically remove any trees that are in the way before building the blueprint.

Why you don't use the deconstruction tool?

The deconstruction tool only works within the roboports construction area, so you will have to manually remove forests if you want to place bigger blueprints than that.
I don't think it should be necessary to remove the forest manually while you are building when drones are already capable of removing them.
