Hi,

We though it could be a great add for the game if it was possible to melt any metal object to retrieve metal fragment.
Each metal object could give a random amoung of metal fragment.

and this concept goes well with the direction the game is taking

just spitting the ball :D

I think a salvage mechanic would be great for the game. Repair benches should also allow you to salvage an item to get back half of the materials it requires to make multiplied by the amount of durability (%). So a full durability item would give you half of the materials while a 1/2 durability item would give you 1/4 of the materials it took to make. Salvaging an item should also contribute towards "learning" the item in the upcoming new research system.

uhhh nice idea tho. ;P

Actually I think they could do away with the whole research tool boxes, and have a research station like everything else. Lets face it, we all build huge houses (bases) and don't have enough crap to decorate it with. A salvage bench like you are suggesting would also be a REALLY nice touch.
