Recycling

[Arclight]

I have been building and growing my structure.  But when I want to remove a wall in order to alter my build, I hit recycle, and the game recycles that wall and everything attached to that wall.   I want to remove one piece and everything I've already build gets destroyed.  It does the same thing when putting up the shadows to build the lay out.   Remove one piece and everything gets erased.   This issue could be game breaking for some.  Not to mention recycling and only getting back  50% of the resources creates  a whole new issue.

If that piece is supporting another that will happen. Just gotta go with it. I've had to rebuild quite a bit because I just wanted to move 1 wall or floor piece.

Well it shouldn't work that way.   The system is broken.  In every survival game I've played, the one thing that wasn't catastrophically broken was the building system.   You shouldn't have to rebuild your entire structure because you wanted to put a door in.  It's ridiculous.

The game is pretty lenient on structures, but you still need a supporting piece. Like the others said, if you remove something and everything falls apart, then that was a supporting piece. Try placing multiple scaffolding pieces around. Sometimes you can even swap support if you place a scaffold. Now if your doing something like building over the water or something, you may want to just pre plan your building.
