New Feature Request: "Safe Height" default toggle switch

[roryaronson]

Safe Z was originally implemented to avoid hitting plants beneath the Z-axis. It is an interesting edge case to hear you need to avoid hitting something above the Z-axis!

It would probably be tricky for us to implement an Always Enforce Safe Z type setting, and such a setting would also have many unintended consequences/tradeoffs. For example, with such a setting enabled you would not be able to move in the X/Y plane near the soil surface for a rotary tool weeding operation. You also would not be able to pull a tool out of a slot, or put it back in!

However, I think there is a relatively straightforward workaround for you to consider, which is to modify YOUR COPY of the more advanced sequences in your account, rather than creating your own version from scratch. The advanced sequences (Soil Height Grid, Weed Detection Grid, Water All, etc) are all written in Lua and you can modify the code for your purposes. In the example below, I have just added , safe_z = true to the movement call:

Edit: If you wanted to get more advanced/efficient, you could add a conditional in there as you did in your example, to only use Safe Z in the necessary areas.
