Destroying and returns

[aso11]

When you destroy items, it should give you the option to return a portion of the items used to make it. For example, I have a lot of crates that I built earlier, but now I have access to metal, meainign I can build chests. I could destroy the crates, yielding boards (most likely lower quality and in lesser quantity) that I could use to build said chests. I find it annoying to run a long way to just get one board when I have about 15 crates lying around me.

I agree, its just more realistic plus its more tree friendly. the option should be called dismantle and rely on carpentry skill.

i was just discussing this the other day. would really like to see this implemented. like if i have two carts, only want one, i could dismantle one and use the pieces to repair the other. just like i would IRL

it's been suggested before, but with little to no dev comment, iirc

1)Plant trees. Even if they're bad trees, replace what you take.
2)Not all items should wield it back, for example perhaps a Chicken Coop may return you 2~3 boards, however a Crate is an item in which it seems the boards would be chopped to form the sides, you might get one out of the bottom, if that.


Other than that, I really don't think it's too great an idea. It would be good for us as players to not have to get more wood, sure, but that's why you can plant trees.

Small issue. I don't mind the thought of it, though.
