So I just made a Draugr Fang on my latest seed and upgraded it to lvl 2. Then I made another Draugr Fang. Why the heck make another one? Because I replenished my mats from a chest, and when I clicked on the Forge, didn't go back into "Upgrade" mode.

Now, I get why you can't just deconstruct stuff and get all your mats back- it'd totally negate the restriction on teleporting ores and metals. No problem. But hey, would it be too hard to implement a deconstruct at the same workstation, within say a 3-minute time limit? I don't do code, so maybe it would be too hard, I don't know. But hell, I hate to see those resources get wasted like that. Anyone else made that mistake? And it's not the first time I've done it, either :(
Maybe this is just another aspect of "brutal" when they advertise the game...
