      Blueprint dismantle mode is exactly what you think it is.

      Now, when you enter dismantle mode by pressing F,

      That's the default key.

      You can now press R to toggle what dismantle mode you want.

      Either it's normal dismantle mode where you just highlight one thing at a time, or you can go into blueprint dismantle mode where when you select one building that was part of a blueprint, it then also selects everything that was part of that blueprint.

      And this is going to be super helpful because it makes tearing down blueprints that you've built super quick.

      And then you can reposition things and you can prototype without having to sit there and manually destroy everything.

      It's super tedious.

      So this feature makes that so much quicker.

      And so you might be wondering if you build a blueprint and then you dismantle like one of the buildings in that blueprint, it's technically no longer the same blueprint.

      What happens in dismantle mode in those cases?

      Dismantle mode remembers what buildings were part of the blueprint.

      So even if you tear apart small parts of the blueprint, you can still mass dismantle the remaining elements of that blueprint without any issue.

      Not only that, if you build other pieces within that blueprint, so say part of your blueprint has two different buildings, and then you manually go in and connect them with the conveyor belt later, blueprint dismantle mode will still select the original two buildings, you'll dismantle them, and then the remaining conveyor belt will just stay floating there, and then you have to go and manually dismantle those things.

      So it's very, very straightforward, very easy to use, and I think another just godsend of a feature, honestly.

      I think you guys are really, really going to appreciate Blueprint Dismantle Mode as well.
