I have a filtered deconstruction planner. What command can I use to apply that filter to an area?

Without actually selecting an area?

From a quick look at the doc it looks like you'd have to do it manually. I.e. read filters from stack, find_entities_filtered, deconstruct one-by-one.

Closest solution will be an API requirest on surface.deconstruct_area{area=…, force=…, player=…} to allow passing entity/tile filters and settings (which can be retrieved from an item stack)

The documentation on LuaSurface.deconstruct_area has no mention whatsoever of any filtering capability at all.

Like I said an API request

I suppose you could also hook on_marked_for_deconstruction, deconstruct the whole area and cancel_deconstruction() for anything that fails the filters.
