[Bug] Workers tear down walls to lay floors

[Hemothorax]

When running a large prison, I wanted a complete cell block to get new floors. When I layed the floor down, only the walls lit up green. I released the mouse button, and saw in horror how my workers teared down every single wall of each cell block to lay down a new floor.

I imagined every single load of new prisoners to be a batch of recently convicted workers...

This has been discussed a lot.

You probably started your selection on a wall tile. If you start on a floor tile, it will only green light the floor.

What Phees said. The tool is contextual aware of the source tile.

How is this a bug?
If the concrete below a wall is to be covered with tile, you'll need to remove the wall
before laying down tile. Otherwise the floor to tile must be next to the wall rather than under it, right?
Or maybe i misread OP...

You remove walls by placing tiles straight on top of them.

The OP did this accidentally by starting a drag selection on a wall tile instead of on a floor tile. (as it only selects the type of tile you start on)

Ahhh. That makes sense in PA. I was thinking in RL. -I get it now .
