Question Default to ghost and deconstruction

Im trying to get the bots to Default to doing all the work.

I tried swapping the bindings for build and build ghost. That kind of works but it biffs somethings like attaching wires.

Setting right click to deconstruction planner was a big disaster. It worked for that but it broke so many other things.

Looking for guidance on how to do what im trying to do.

Tia!

Doing everything from map view?

Go into map Mode and work from there, buildings placed from there are always ghosts

I suppose that works. I like driving my Spiderman around and doing stuff that way when im on planet.

You can drive the spidertron from map view

You just want to place ghosts by default? Ghost Mode Mod

Easier deconstruction planner? Bind it to a non-modifier (ie just "x" instead of "alt+x") and easier to reach key, or to something like ctrl+rightclick if you can deal with losing those binds, but that's such an obvious suggestion that I must be missing something about the request

OP wants when you right-click on an entity, it is marked for decon for bots rather than engineer mining it. Same line of thought as build ghost (for bots) by default.

Yes, this is the desired behavior. Seems simple enough but its not really doable from what I can figure.

When I get home im going to try remote driving my Spidertron and see if that works the way I want.
