For example, I do not want to build a full metal wall because it's too high. I'd like to be able to fashion a partial wall. Maybe 1/4 as high, using 1/4 the materials. It would add to the look/feel of the game. In many post-apoc movies, many structures are left unfinished but they're still there.

Also, when it comes to "dismantling" structures, a player should be able to reclaim either all or a certain percentage of the invested materials, IMO. A *possible* downside to this would be people building stuff as sort of a "parts bank" if they do not have adequate container storage but I feel this could be offset by item decay.

I think material reclaimation should be a function of architecture or should be a separate skill? Perhaps a new skill called Maintenance. Every week or so the structures decay a bit, loosing "materials". It would be the Maintenance person's job to replace these periodically.

Just my two cents, thanks and keep up the excellent work everyone!
