Nightingale offers considerable creative freedom in Estate construction and customization. Whether you seek a minor rearrangement or a complete redesign of your Estate, understanding the optimal deconstruction process is essential.
Can you deconstruct buildings in Nightingale?
Regrettably, Nightingale does not feature instant deconstruction mechanics common in other games with similar building systems. You won’t find a dedicated deconstruction mode to swiftly remove unwanted items.
In Nightingale, deconstruction requires manual effort. Equip your Pick or Axe and dismantle the structure or building you wish to remove. When viewing the item from the correct angle, a small red health bar indicates its durability, showing how much more punishment it can endure before destruction.
Be mindful that demolishing a structure or item will not refund the full construction cost, so exercise caution. However, resources are typically abundant, mitigating potential losses.
Despite hopes, the Hammer tool exclusively serves for repairs and offers no assistance in deconstruction. While disappointing, its restorative function remains valuable. Nevertheless, expanding the Hammer’s utility for deconstruction would be a welcome improvement in the future.
Alternatively, you can strategically plan your Estate layout before finalizing constructions, enabling instant deconstruction if necessary.
