I dont think anybody just builds stuff and then notices "oh, gotta delete it all and then rebuild it"... we were talking about involuntary destruction or accidental building (for example when you release the mouse button and a newspaper article pops up in that moment).
So there goes your "planning ahead"...

It wasn't an "I didnt' plan that" - the game glitched (this one wasn't to do with the mousepad, I'm pretty sure) in as much as the cursor jumped over 100 tiles when I released the mouse. I could hardly have planned for that?
At the end of the day I've asked for a feature. If it gets built some day I'll be very happy - but is there any need for the flaming? A dev has said it's likely not possible, that's for them to say. Not for others to have a go at.
Jesus, could this forum be any more unfriendly sometimes?
Wow I didn't realise I was unfriendly actually. Either I'm weird or you got long toes.
Anyway, it could be me but when I plan ahead I take in mind that a glitch can occur. For example I check when I release the mouse button if the selection I made is good. This was because of the (optical mouse) problem I had that the cursor sometimes flies across the screen.
After a few (hard) lessons I didn't take every action I make with the mouse for granted anymore same goes with other (even in-game) stuff like papers etc. And while slow in the beginning I'm quite adept now and just as fast and I don't have these pesky super-remove-actions again. So yes IMHO it can to a certain extend be planned ahead.
Don't get me wrong, the idea is great but a dev will not impelent it now. And the statement:

Did I forbid anyone that want to put a lot of time in it to create such a feature? No I didn't and frankly, it would be great, but I know this forum and when a developer says it's very very hard to make, no-one will do it soon (and with soon I mean the next 1½ year atleast).
Don't think so? Prove me otherwise and I stand corrected.
And again, I certainly didn't mean to be harsh or insulting. I never do actually, I only get a bit grumpy when people say I do when I didn't.
