Description

Stop robots from building blueprints!

Always wanted to plan something in your factory, but nasty robots won't let you place blueprints in peace? Fear not, fellow engineer, this mod comes to rescue! And I'm not talking about personal roboport - I'm talking about both personal and ground roboport. This mod does not disable any robots or affect them in any way. One click of a button and you can enjoy peaceful planning without being interrupted by millions of bots.

Limitations:

Doesn't work with ground tiles (concrete, landfill etc).
Doesn't allow to copy or cut ghost buildings placed in "Planning mode" (but still can remove by left-clicking).
Doesn't allow to use deconstruction planner on ghost buildings placed in "Planning mode".

Updates

  • supports locales
  • works properly in MP
  • displaying messages only to players, not globally
  • now ghosts state persists between saves
