Deconstruction Of Rooms Not That Bad

[WarlokLord]

I suffered through the process to kill my old Dojo (only the base hall exists - everything else is the new tileset), and it actually wasn`t as brutal as I thought it would be.

 

One of these years the research stuff will be operational.

Minor yay.

just the destruction time is reduced from 12 to 2 hours

Hmmm, good question. Unfortunately I can`t answer that - my group has only ever gotten up to the point where we *almost* have the research rooms ready (!). We`ve never been able to look at research stuff.

Where do the parts needed for the room construction go when you demolish them?

I destroyed the obstacle course to make room for bio lab and we had to waste a forma again for the lab although they say you get the mats back when you demolish.

The materials should go back into your "Vault" stores for the Dojo. You only get half those for reclaiming items that you place in the environment... does this mean "half" of a single Forma, Gallium, or Neurode? Hmmm.

 

The Forma from rooms ought to be there though. Could be an incidental bug.

I'm in the same situation as you. Is it possible to request a general de-construction of all rooms ? Not having to do it my hand for all the rooms just because DEVs messed up with design and didn't replace old rooms with new ones...........

I know I would have preferred to instantly tag all Dojo constructs for demolition, but I finally did it manually.

 

Before you can deconstruct a room, any rooms beyond it - that rely upon it for connectvity to the base Dojo Hall - must be deconstructed. So the process does take some time. I wish it could have gone more quickly, for as you say, this was a snafu by developers as they developed, but at least its done for me. I may actually finally have a look at the entire Dojo research interface now (finally built the Oracle and a research room).

This said, I still think it wise to provide A.) a Demolish All option and B.) a top-down map mode that shows just a general schematic (no labels necessary! just give us an idea of what we have wrought in what directions).
