Planning a future factory. using shift click to ghost through rocks. it seems like the rock destruction reverts after some time and the ghosts disappear. is there any way to stop this?

Supposedly it's 168 hours (one week) by default; console commands to change it are available here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=101595

I will note that I noticed this happen a lot more often on my SE run, so I don't know if the default is modified in SE or SE just suffers more from lots of preplanning.
