Accidental demolish of underground pipes

10 votes

I have pretty much all my pipes buried underground, and multiple times when I want to demolish something on the surface (building, etc.) by mistake I delete some of the pipes sections, and I have to dig up again, redo the connection....
It would be nice to have a prompt message before demolish (similar with Upgrade command where it let you select what to upgrade or not)
And also a way to know the flow direction for underground pipes.

Yesss! It makes no sense! Like i can reach through the ground and remove pipes, but not put them back?

I came here because I wanted to suggest a feature where you could use unity to instantly dig up a section of land, with the unity requirement going up linearly bound to the depth of dig for each section. The materials could be placed in the shipyard for easy replacement. I think that would help this problem.

Also, I agree with Rrrk. It is inconsistent to allow instant removal of underground pipes, but not allow instant placement with unity. Realism can't be an excuse in this case, because it is already unrealistic to remove pipes without first digging them out.
