  Literally the same mechanic as building the item. Should be able to shift+click on the item to move it. “You can dismantle it” is a huge L response by the devs. Already working with limited inventory space as you are building and it doesn’t auto pull from chests. “Dismantle it” is also taking that space from your inventory just so you can put it back down 2 inches or a foot over. Actual horrible response from devs here.

  This is just a standard convenience feature in games that let you build houses on par with building/crafting from storage. Is it realistic? No. But QoL is important. The easier to implement alternative is to give back everything used to craft the item upon destruction, which could be a short term fix to this oversight while implementing the move feature.

  All materials are returned when dismantling buildables.

  Not planning this is rough, this is another huge QoL thing to have. Hopefully devs come around.

  Since all resources are returned you can just deconstruct and rebuild the buildable. It is essentially the same thing as moving it.

  Let us pick up chests and other stations so we can move them around for remodeling purposes instead of unpacking the chests and destroying them, just to rebuild them to move them.

  Since all building materials are returned, what's the difference between disassembling the thing and crafting it again where you want it?

  This one is on me. There is no reason to set this to 'not planned' this early in production. Sorry about the confusion. I'm leaving this as 'proposed' so others can vote on it as well. It is more complex then just 'move this item from here to there' but if the community wants this feature bad enough, we'll solve for all the edge cases.

  I didn't realize all of the materials were returned. Also, sorry for being snarky. This is a pet peeve of mine in games with base building. I spend a lot of time making sure things are aligned just the right way, so it can be frustrating to have to constantly deconstruct and rebuild.
  
  I'm ok with how it is, though moving chests is a pain.

  the picks for placeable statues at the moment is pretty... bland, in my opinion, and with all of the statues we have in real life depicting various greek deities or scholars, why not add some of those to the game?

  It would be good to be able to simply move or adjust built elements rather than having to deconstruct the item and then build it anew.

  This would be a HUGE improvement. Its pretty frustrating that you have to deconstruct things to move them instead of just click and hold a button to move it over and keep the items intact. Not sure why this hasn't been done yet as it seems easy to change.
