Dubs Skylights

Possible to allow construction directly on thin rock roofs?
As in title. Right now, I'd have to first clear the thin rock roof, then build a regular roof, then place the skylight. Possible to just treat thin rock as if it were constructed roof?

I understand why for obvious reasons you can't build a skylight on overhead mountain roofs (despite Khazad-dûm managing to pull it off :) ).

Oh, and there seems to be an odd interaction with your skylights and your swimming pools from your Bad Hygiene mod. I tried building a skylight over a pool, and it constructed a "phantom" bridge in the pool instead where the glass squares should have been. I can't select it, but when I hover over those squares in the pool now instead of saying "pool water" they say "smooth granite", which in this case was the underlying floor.

you're using one of those mods that forces pawns to build bridges first, just disable that mod, and i only allow constructed roof because it would be too easy if you could build impenetrable glass roofs that let light in, since im not actually changing the roof defs in the cells so it doesn't break countless other systems in the game or other mods

Ah, must be the replace stuff mod. Annoying counter-interaction there. And that mod doesn't give a toggle to turn off that feature as far as I can tell; I'd have to disable the whole mod.

And I guess I can see the thin rock roof thing. It was mainly a QoL issue for me as it's just tedious to figure out which squares I need to tear out and replace from the roof mapmode just to put in a skylight that I was only using for flavor anyways. But if you were lucky to have large patches of it on your map I could see having a safe indoor farm without needing to spend the power on a sunlamp could make things too easy. I didn't realize the game treated thin rock as unbreakable.
