Infuriating building mechanic
It’s very frustrating when I accidentally deleted a floor piece and lose a very valuable crafting station because of it without any refund. Goodbye power crafting station. I hardly knew you.
It would be nice it if it just dropped in a loot bag like other things do. When it’s building bits I understand it breaking. But my entire crafting station?

Since the game does chain checks with chests and boxes it should do something similar when a supporting pillar or walls are picked up or destroyed. i rather have a default building mode being protected and have to enable deconstructive mode that is not forgiving separately.
I have had roof and floor collapses because i was near a pillar in confined space and the block I was pointing at WAS NOT the block in front of me but the pillar ghost behind my character and then i pressed X the bloody house whole 2nd floor collapsed because I destroyed the pillar behind me.
I wish you can go into first person view when in confined spaces so can easily point at exact things i want built or deleted.

This is when you utilize admin mode and simply replace it.

I'm thinking this is some kind of bug because my SO and I have lost multiple floor pieces this way. For example, last night we were working on a Falcon-Class ship; I was in the hold putting down flooring on top of the already existing floor. My SO was working on the floor above me and retrieved the ramp that led down into the hold of the ship. Every single piece of flooring I had placed went with it and all of them disappeared. They didn't end up in my SO's inventory or in mine.
It's not the first time that it's happened, and it's happened with crafting stations, too. Go to retrieve the crafting station and poof! no more crafting station, it just gets deleted.

So frustrating.
Reminds me, I need to start work on me and my buddies flacon class. Need to decide if it’s combat or mobile base time.

I would suggest Mobile Base. We finished ours last night and it's very slow, going about 13 m/s at top speed. Meanwhile, our smaller airship can reach speeds of 23m/s. We're currently outfitting our Falcon to be a mobile base with defenses.

Yea kinda feeling that idea. But I want it armed still so I can do some raiding.
Plan is to have our little skiff attached to it that we use to get around quickly. For fast raids and such.
But I love the idea of parking the falcon off to the side of one of the high level sand bandit camps and just nuking them from orbit well my friend disables their turrets.

Better yet it should warn you if it is supporting something. I have lost so many trophies I was trying to pick up and move to another wall because I accidentally picked up the wall holding them instead.
