It is early access, fine tuning resource usage isn't exactly a high priority.

It definitely is annoying but I wouldn't put it as a negative until they outright say it will never change or they go full release without changing it.

I would be fine if you could break down building materials for a 50% return on materials.

But yeah for crafting you should be able to craft almost anything from your work bench as long as the proper workstations and craftsmen are present.

I've got maybe 40 hours played, reached level 20 something.

I guess I place a higher emphasis on base building in these games and compare it to like Valheim, V Rising, or Raft. I expect it to get better (I still haven't figured out terraforming for farms) but it feels so bad to regrind for materials because I want my base pretty.

When I last played on March 1st, the workbench had a pretty limited number of things to craft when it came to base furniture (mostly had building materials). I had to initiate it by talking to the relevant craftsman. I'm okay with armor/weapons/forge type upgrades sticking with their inventories, but personally would rather have a single spot to build all my base stuff instead of having to remember who to talk to.
