Greetings Rosletyne!
Thank you for reaching out to us.

If you’re referring to placeables, such as crafting stations, chests, etc then upon pressing ‘‘remove’’ on the Consctruction Hammer it will indeed remove the placeable and return crafting materials directly to your inventory.

Are you perhaps experiencing something different with another type of item in a particular circumstance? If so, please describe it to us or send a screenshot/video so that we may assess it properly.

We’ll be waiting for your reply!

I am not talking about those. I’m talking about placeables that have an option of returning them to inventory, built from your inventory or at an artisan’s table.

I have not tested them all exhaustively, but every time I’ve tried it since Age of War chapter 2 came out, I’ve gotten part of the resources instead. It has happened with a campfire, Cimmerian and Stygian braziers, wall lanterns, and a couple furniture pieces I can’t remember now.

Thank you for your reply Rosletyne!

From our side, we could not reproduce this using some of the items your referred. If this is still happening in your game, could you please send us a video showing the issue please?

We’ll be waiting for your reply!

My PC server had this issue as well. It was definitely frustrating since there are no mods in use.
The post below by Onomog was the solution though I don’t know what kind of access console admins have for server management.

Rawhide bedroll returning to inventory as hide Players Helping Players

So after walking away from the problem for a bit and making some coffee, I started combing through the .ini files. I eventually found a setting in the ServerSettings.ini file called “BuildingPickupEnabled” it was set to false. Once I changed it to true, everything worked as it should. The restored game from backup also worked, once the setting was set to true. I have no idea what changed it, but now I know where to look if the problem comes up again. I hope this helps others who are dealing wit…
