Modular Construction research

I suggest a mid- to high-tier research item that allows all workbenches, power structures, air coolers, floor tiles, and constructed walls (possibly with separate projects for each?) to be uninstalled and reinstalled at the command of the player like furniture.

I could see the walls being somewhat broken, and having issues with storage space, so maybe the research for that would instead unlock a new type of wall which costs slightly more base resources to create and in exchange has those traits, or dismantles reliably to an "uninstalled wall" stockpile item which in turn can be used to construct the same amount of walls it was deconstructed from, and the same with floor tiles (though in that case wholly for storage reasons, as I can't really see a balance problem with being able to reliably recover floor tiles).

Thoughts?
