Moving & Deconstructing Buildings
The Nightwater store says buildings can be moved or deconstructed without losing items. Use that flexibility to improve a cramped factory, then reconnect and inspect the affected path. The statement does not give a per-building refund table or promise uninterrupted pipe connections. Mark the upstream and downstream handoffs first, move one segment, and watch a successful transfer before continuing the revision.

Identify the affected branch
Note the moved building's source and destination, including shared consumers. This tells you where to inspect after a change.
Test every small revision
Restore the intended connection and watch the receiving inventory. Item preservation and a working production route are separate checks.
Use the reclaimed space
Leave room for a useful new input lane instead of filling every gap. Generic planner cells help compare zones but do not establish exact building sizes.
Put the plan to work
Place generic gatherers, assemblers, storage, pipes and utilities on a collision-checked planning grid.
