Extra Resources from Disassembling Stations

[Tsai Carnam]

As I don't know if anyone has discovered it yet and brought it to your attention, I thought I might as well.

I currently have 65% Construction Efficiency, and the dismantling gives back 50% of the original resources spent of the original cost [of 0% Construction Efficiency[.

As to why my construction efficiency is that high, that is another story.

Here is the chart and profit (I bought and sold a regular station):
Before Resources Spent
Carbon - 862515
Stone - 30628
Ice - 100869
Iron - 50371
Metals - 4583
Gold - 26802
Diamond - 11232

After Resources Spent
Carbon - 849390
Stone - 21878
Ice - 98244
Iron - 48621
Metals - 2833
Gold - 26365
Diamond - 10970


After Dismantling Resources
Carbon - 868140
Stone - 34378
Ice - 101994
Iron - 51121
Metals - 5333
Gold - 26990
Diamond - 11345

Total Profit
Carbon - 5625
Stone - 3750
Ice - 1125
Iron - 750
Metals - 750
Gold - 188
Diamond - 113


What is your ruling on this Sir Emi?

[SorisDark]

you got the right amount..or less, idk 

[Tsai Carnam]

I actually made a profit.

Total Profit
Carbon - 5625
Stone - 3750
Ice - 1125
Iron - 750
Metals - 750
Gold - 188
Diamond - 113

I think this is a potential exploit, and if Sir Emi would allow me to use it, I will lol.

[SorisDark]

maybe he intended it? would be nice  even though all you would have to do is build stations and simantle em for a while to get a tonne of resources, so use it while you can 

[Tsai Carnam]

Think about it...

Mothership modules with free resources?

In theory, I could push my ship costs down to literally where I save 80%...

That wouldn't be fair for anyone I am sure.

[SorisDark]

i know, would be great 

[Tsai Carnam]

I am going to end this problem before it starts, that is just how it works for me.

But if you do fix it emi, please do not set it at where the max construct efficiency is 50% , I spent so much to get to 65% lol.

[SorisDark]

umm, max construct eff. is 80-85% isnt it?

[Jan`go Vhett]

Tsai I think he would probably give ya back what ya spent and you can get free resources from getting replication input and output up so it probably isn't that big a deal.

[SirEmi]

Ok, here is the fix.

If you have 60% construction efficiency you get something like this when dismantling:

Structure dismantled successfully.
40% of resources from structure and 50% from modules were recovered.

Same with 65% you get 35%. Note that 35% = your build cost. So anything above 50% you just get back whatever you used.

Modules are un-affected since the tech is only for the main structure.
