base additions, and vanishing salvage constructs

I was doing some redecorating of our base last night and the strangest thing happened. I'm not sure if it's a bug or something I did wrong, but we managed to lose ever item constructed from salvage from the entire base.

We needed a couple of rooms to be increased, so my plan was to make a small room out of the way to store the items in while I sorted out the proper room... (Am I alone in thinking too little thought went into salvage items, when you can't remove them without losing them, you can't increase a room without deleting it, so you have to make a store room or lose all your salvage made items?)

Anyway, I made my teleport room and put the 2 teleporters in it, deleted the original room and set about making it's replacement in a different location. (And who, oh why can't we drag rooms around, instead of going through all this palava to move a room?)

Made the new teleport room, went to the store room to get the pads, to find that they had both vanished.

Then, not being terribly bright at 4am, I tried the same thing with the control room, made the new room first, they dragged everything from the old room to the new one this time. But when I went to the old room, the bought items were there, but the salvage made control unit had vanished.

Third vanishing item was an oracle. I wasn't sure which room it went into, so I tried it in all of them, placed it in the control room, but it never appeared, and is no longer in my list of personal items.

Please, please, please, can we have salvage items either placed on another purchase tab if they are deleted or need to be moved, or given back to the original person, rather than being lost when strange things happen.

It's hard enough trying to get salvage that is of any use, without losing the odd thing we can make from it!

So many alts, so little time... Where's an Altoholics meeting when you need one?

I have just lost my hard earned Basic Telepad too... Even wrote my own post right before I saw this one... IT SUCKS!!! We want our stuff back!!!

I've written alot in the other post about this similar problem.

I can't tell you what happened to your items, when you dragged them to the storage, something must have gone bad.

I've just done this, without any problems.

YES, I agree, it is stupid... if you could salvage crafted items for just HALF of what you used, that would be ok... but getting nothing back IS stupid.

I'm just pointing out, that right now, there is no regaining salvage from crafted items, and probably won't be for a long time (cross my fingers there even will)

I'm sad for your loss... Get your SG members out there and work their butts off! Trade with others!

some items you make are room spasific so if you move them they either vanish or are sold a silly way of doing things but the devs thought that would work says alot,..

there has ben a few threads complaning about this and the fact if we sell a constructed item we should have the choice to either sell it completly have it broken down back into salvage or put back into the personal items bit so they can be placed again.

hmmm, this seems really odd/dumb/crappy, but frankly having to buy stuff you jsut built from salvage seems weird to me as well, the system needs a sort out.

It doesn't say "Money" it says "Prestige"... So it's not really bought, more likely it's "donated" because of your prestige... Not entirely sure how they ment Prestige to be understood... but as you know, Infamy isn't money either...
