Cantr II Discussion Forum

it is possible to cancel such a project in the middle. I don't know if it was intended, but it is real cancelling (if you cancelled it by mistake you still have to start from 0% again)

Yes, it was intended this way. Disassembling a machine takes as long as assembling, so you have plenty of time to revoke a sabotage project. You also need tools to take a machine apart, so newspawns won't be able to destroy all but the simplest machines.

I take it you are saying that anyone can stop the dissasembly project, and not just the person who initiated it, right?

Yes. As long as no one is currently working on it.

... and the initiator is not in the same location

Doesn't that present a problem...? You'd have to drag the initiator out of the room before you can cancel it?

Yes, this would not be good especially with peaceful towns that do not like to drag people around.
And what of the outdoor machinery. It would now seem every town would have to make a law banning the dissasembling of public machinery, or travellers could simply run off with parts of spits and stone tables.

If you can drag him out of the project you can as well drag him somewhere.

Do you get any or all of the resources back when you disassemble something? Or does it just clear up the objects page?

You should get half your resources back by default, but we are able to define higher or lower values, too.

I believe that if we recover only 50% of the materials, the projects should take half the time.

If it takes half the time, it become too easy to be a resource thief from disassembly imho.

I assume that you plan to allow sign disassembly too, am I right?

Eventually, yes. The code is not sophisticated enough to do this yet though.

Current code is completely not prepared for this
