Can we deconstruct buildings and how is this done?
Thorsten LeimannLead Systems Designer, Core Pillar Gameplay System Design Team
Yes, you can deconstruct your building. So there it is, like you would construct it, there's the construction AR mode. So you will make use of the drones, the drones then will disassemble the building. And if you have a freight elevator, they will automatically put the material that they gather from the disassembling process onto the freight elevator. You will get some of the material back that you invested in building, but we will, because it's a gameplay mechanic, but it also makes sense, right? In the disassembling process, you will not get one to one what you invested. There is a loss of material in there.
