Is there a way to remove plots that are no longer linked to a factory in the "overworld" (or inventory)? Or at least a way to delete the entities inside them.

I ran into UPS issues after re-designing factorissimo smelting setups with heavy use of recursion and many factories involved. (My base was close to dropping below 60 UPS before I started already.) After trying (and implementing large scale for testing) several builds, I noticed that there were plots on the maps visible from iterations I no longer have. (I use creative mod's void chest to dispose of old factories, as opposed to shooting chests.) Since they're still full of machines and ores and belts and stuff, they contribute to the UPS usage, and by now I begin to notice it quite a bit.

I expected that the mod would automativally remove plots that are no longer linked to anything, which is why I never bothered to deconstruct myself in the past. And now I'm left with tons of unused stuff that does nothing but cost computing time, and no way of ever entering these areas again since the factories are long gone.

How could I get rid of these "trash" plots? Thanks!

Uuuuuh even worse. I've just begun to clean up my old steel setup and removed all interiors manually, then picked up the factories for later reuse. But now it says that I've got too many factories picked up at once, and even throwing some away into a void chest doesn't change any of this!!

I can't even remove ANYTHING anymore now. Help please. If this save would be beyond repair now, that would be EXTREMELY sad. There are several hundreds of hours in there already :(

Use the /give-lost-factory-buildings command to get your voided factory buildings back, as well as possibly clones of unvoided ones. Don't worry about the duplicates: when you place down both original and clone, the second to be placed will vanish.

As for UPS-efficiently disposing of them, it's probably best to place them all down somewhere you don't need them, maybe inside each other (not if you don't have Recursion 2 researched, because then they don't count as built), but of course you'll want to empty them out.

Phew! Thanks!!!
