mlieThe Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod prevents pawns from collapsing roofs on top of themselves while deconstructing and mining. It is useful for tearing down buildings, clearing random structures, removing mountains, and handling roof safety with less micromanagement.
Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod Features
The Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod adds roof safety checks to mining and deconstruction jobs, helping prevent dangerous collapses before they happen.
- Roof checks on deconstruction: Toggle whether pawns check for dangerous roofs before deconstructing.
- Roof checks on mining: Toggle whether pawns check for dangerous roofs before mining.
- Mountain roof order cancelling: Cancel unsafe orders when mountain roofs would collapse.
- Mountain roof removal: Allow pawns to remove mountain roofs while preparing to mine or deconstruct.
- Research requirement: Set whether research is required to remove mountain roofs.
When “Toggle removing mountain roofs” is disabled and “Toggle cancelling orders on mountain roofs” is enabled, pawns will cancel mining or deconstruction designations that would cause a mountain roof collapse. A message will be shown when this happens. If you still want to force the action, prioritize the work manually through the right-click menu.
Performance
The Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod should not have any noticeable performance impact.
FAQ
- Does this mod allow you to remove mountain roofs? Only when colonists are preparing to mine or deconstruct, and only if the setting is enabled. It does not allow you to designate mountain roofs for manual removal. For that, use a mod like Absolutely No Roof by NitroDev or Roofless by Rakeki.
Compatibility notes
The Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod should work with everything.
The Smarter Deconstruction and Mining Mod automatically detects Expanded Roofing and Raise the Roof, configuring itself accordingly by enabling “Toggle removing mountain roofs” and setting “Research required to remove mountain roofs” to the research added by those mods.
