FAQs
Can I move or edit buildings instead of destroying them?
Currently, there is no option to move or edit existing buildings, so if you want to make changes to your base, you need to destroy the building first and rebuild to a new location.
Do I get my items back from deconstructing?
Yes, you will find all your spent items in your inventory after you destroy a building. You can also see the resources you will get from a building prior to dismantling them whenever you are in Deconstruction mode.
What structures can I destroy under Deconstruction mode?
Anything that you have built, like rails and building structures, can be destroyed under Deconstruction mode.
Is there a limit for the amount of structures that I can deconstruct?
No, you get to use the Deconstruction tool and dismantle as many buildings as you would like throughout the day.
I’ve accidentally destroyed a building, what can I do?
Since you will receive 100% of all your resources back from dismantling the building, you get to quickly rebuild the structure without wasting time.
