[Mod Request] Deconstruct power conduits

[Mehni]

You know how it goes. You want to reroute power so those darn cables under your hydroponics stop exploding. Click once to select the rice plant. Click once more to select the hydroponic basic. Click again to select the power conduit. Click to deconstruct. Rinse and repeat for each tile.

I go nuts doing this. It drives me crazy. If anyone could make a mod that quickly/easily deconstructs power conduits, I'd be forever in their debt.

Functionally, I imagine the mod would be the same as the regular mass-deconstruct tool, but instead of everything it applies only to power conduits.

Seems more like something Tynan should add to the core game seeing as this is a "problem" / "feature" with the core game.
But for now there should be a mod that adds this, maby adding a <IsSmallPowerBuilding> or something to make it easy to make use of the mod in other mods.

Cheers :*

try redistheat mod，it has a tool called deconstruct reverse.

I don't think having a solution that only applies to Power Conduits is the way to go. With AllowTool you can use the Mass Select to select items of the same type so it can be used to select all the conduits then just click deconstruct.

How can you limit what is selected to what you want to deconstruct, and not selecting every other conduit in the map or on the screen?

Definitely, but until then a mod would be really appreciated.

I'll look into that, thanks for the suggestion. It's a big mod to install specifically for that function though.

Could be an interesting further development. I thought I'd keep the request limited for now.

You can find out the key combos by reading the tools description. In this case the Mass Select tool includes "Hold Ctrl/Option (in my case option means shift) to select only things of the same type as the ones already selected". In practice you select a conduit, select the Mass Select tool, hold control and shift, then select the rest of the conduits.

Ok, thanks!
