About Filtered Deconstruction Planner

From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds the ability for entities to be targeted for or be excluded from deconstruction by bots.

Description

The filtered deconstruction planner enables you to deconstruct objects using robots with higher precision. It offers three deconstruction modes (normal, target and exclude) and unlimited configuration slots for entities. In normal model, the filtered deconstruction planner acts just like its simpler counterpart from base Factorio and ignores the configured items. Target mode will only mark those entities for deconstruction that are configured and exclude mode will do the exact opposite, marking everything for deconstruction, but the configured entities.

Entities can be configured by clicking with the entity in hand on a configuration slot or when activating the eyedropper tool by selecting the entities to configure using the filtered deconstruction planner, the same item used to issue deconstruction orders in the case the eyedropper tool is deactivated.
