At the moment when you use the processing station to break down blocks, you only get back half the materials, which means if you want the materials for building other blocks, you're better off placing them and manually destroying them to get full materials back.

Not really got into the very late game yet so I don't know how unbalanced it would be if the Processing Station were to give you full mats for broken down blocks.

It feels like a question of my time use as a player; what could I be doing instead of manually placing blocks to destroy them, or harvesting a whole island for fresh wood for example. Over just putting the blocks in the processing station and letting it do the menial stuff while I get on with making the sky-ship.

I feel that half is fine/fair. I mean you can get a stack of like 10-20 in a chest and usually at least 3 stacks, it adds up fast. Free materials for basically doing nothing.

Its still quicker to build a stack of the blocks into the sky, and then destroy them standing on-top of them, then it is to go into the forest and clear a whole island of trees, or to run the processor and wait for diminishing returns on your expenditure.

If the blocks give back all of the materials needed to construct them its counter-intuitive that you have to pay a resource (wood) to run the processor in order to get back half as much as you would. Its not like the world lacks for the resource its about where I'm spending my time playing the game.

I'm building something very specific in the style of blocks I want to use, think air galleon, if you're happy then that's great, but I don't see why this change would have any impact on your playstyle. On mine it would make a major difference in where I'm spending my time.
