Salvaging
Salvaging can be done by any adult or elderly, but cannot be performed by teenagers. Salvaging has a higher priority than building structures.
When any structure is deconstructed, the materials will be returned in full. In addition, villagers can salvage natural resources, allowing them to collect from the land.
Salvaging From Natural Resources
Rocks, Clay rocks, and a number of trees may be salvaged for resources. For trees in particular, fruits and acorn can still be collected whether or not the fruits/acorns have fallen to the ground. In addition, all trees will be chopped down, producing a stump that always produces 1 log when salvaged. After the stump has been removed, a hole in the ground identical to the "plant tree" structure will be left in its place. Villagers will continue to deconstruct this hole and will not plant a tree. Flowers and grass do not produce anything when salvaged.
The following table is a list of each natural resource and what is obtained once it has been salvaged.
