While poking the bear with a Discord topic about adjusting the reclaim value of trees we found one issue: it would make it a lot more difficult to clear the base of trees for buildings.

As a general quality of life improvement this will allow you to build on top of props that are used commonly on maps but usually have little value or meaning. As a few examples:

  • All trees and tree groups
  • All bushes
  • All logs
  • All cactus
  • All fens

The general rule of thumb: a prop that is a wreck, rock or has a significant reclaim value are required to be reclaimed before building. Anything else is destroyed instantly when building on top of it. You gain no resources of the props that are destroyed.

To see it in action:
