The deconstruction planner is an item which allows the player to mark entities for removal. Marked entities will be removed by construction robots in construction network range and stored in storage chests.

The deconstruction planner can be used to cancel deconstruction. First, click the deconstruction planner to pick it up. Then, shift+click and highlight the area marked for deconstruction to cancel it. The deconstruction planner can also be used to order robots to pick up items off the ground.

Left-clicking a deconstruction planner will bring up a GUI that allows certain items or tiles to be filtered prior to being deconstructed. Both in the form of whitelisting and blacklisting. The tiles tab even allows filtering:

  "Tiles" tab.

Achievements

Automated cleanup Deconstruct 100 objects with the construction robots.
