To be fair it only refunds half for things like walls and floors. And in most games you can move items so you don't have to worry about refunds.

pretty sure its a full refund, unless a damaged structure or bug prevents that

I'll test it later but when building, I often tear things down to try different approaches and I always run out of wood before I place the same amount of walls. I'm talking fresh builds, not weathered items. I do know that it refunds full rare items, like core wood, surtling cores etc. either way, most games allow you to move items which makes the refund thing a chore more than a feature.
