Description and reproducing steps - This could be a major bug! I saw this on a twitch stream happening:

Use the habitat builder tool and place an Observation Deck, WITHOUT having the materials needed ->
All items needed (3 enameled glass) to craft an "Observation Deck" are already collected and in inventory ->
Move up to the transparent Observation Deck and press "Q" to deconstruct ->
=> Doubled the materials needed for Observation Deck. Resulting in total of 6 enameled glass.

Unfortunatly i dont have pictures of it, because i saw it on stream. If you have further questions, let me know.
I hope this gets fixed ASAP, because it could be a gamebreaker. I didnt try to exploit any further though.

Cheers, Toasters

    PLEASE bump this topic up. This is a major problem!

    I could reproduce the steps in my game. So there needs to be one more step to make this happen. Here the way:
    1.) Make an Observatory without any of the materials needed. Place it with the habitat builder.
    2.) Save game with the 0% Observatory and exit game.
    3.) Restart game, and look at the spot you placed your Observatory. It is now at 99%

    4.) Still no materials needed in Inventory

    5.) Deconstruct the (suddenly on 99%) Observatory

    6.) After deconstructing, you get the materials needed for the observatory.

    So basicly...After saving the game with the 0% building, then restarting, the game thinks the building is at 99% and gives you all the mats needed for it upon deconstruction.

    So far, this seems to only work with a few buildings. I can confirm: Observatory, Moonpool and Scanner Room.

    I just found this by accident. Nearly destroyed my Seamoth smashing into an invisible building that I left up last night. I recorded how to recreate it if it helps.
