Hi there,

When I build a building (e.g. an assembling machine 2) and fill it with items using an inserter, then deconstruct the building, all the items it contains are deleted instead of sent back to the space platform hub. I can right-click the items in the machine to send them back to the hub, so I assume the deletion is a bug.

Thanks for the report. I believe this is currently intended behavior, see 117004.

I see.. I'd urge you to at least consider a way to warn or teach the user about this behavior, because it took me a frustrating 45 minutes of wondering why I kept being short on items while I was *sure* I had sent them to the platform. Especially since you can still recover the items, you just have to make sure to manually recover them before deconstructing the items.
