I do not like the idea of separate stations for building pieces as I find I am often crafting at the place I’m building and the idea that I’d have to run back to a station to make another x piece because I ran short is very undesirable.
Improving our inventory layout would be better for me … an option on the inventory to hide or show each building tier for example as a row along the top that all platforms can tick to show / no show as desired.
If the building station(s) came as an optional feature then fine but not enforced.
I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve run out of pieces and have to craft another on the fly… we all know that moment when that one wall/fence/roof piece/ceiling tile snaps into place in the wrong direction which means you have to destroy it…
As for not using the other tiers when you have moved to next … well most people I know tend to do their build experiments in sandstone then upgrade. Even when I build direct in t2 or t3 or DLC I tend to use sandstone as scaffolding.
