Tents, beds, pff. What is really significant about this technology is now we can have movable tripod-mounted heavy machine guns.

This technology will be without question be harnessed to the arts of feng shui
and there will be no more slacking with not placing any floor tiles under those big furnies

Awesome, so now we can move objects without having to destroy it first?

Woo, flat pack Rimworld, here we come!

Not necessarily for all items.

Still, that would be an interesting idea. I want my colony to become a leading manufacturer and exporter of nutrient paste dispensers. The next time the traders swing by we have 200 sun lights and 23 shinny new cook stoves ready to ship out. We shall pacify the Rimworld through the sale of household appliances!

Having siege problems? With Minified Starships, just pack up a few of our minified starship reactors, haul them out there, and set them up! Enough power for almost three turrets per reactor,* day and night, small enough to be carried in the palm of your hand!**

*After installation.  Minified Turrets sold separately.
**Very large bionic hand required.

Do not expose the interior of the reactor to fire after installation. We are not responsible for reactor destruction caused by unextinguishable fires. Ensure any batteries connected to the reactor are properly protected from rain, solar flares, psychotic animals, or other environmental hazards. Check nearby power conduits frequently to prevent short circuits.


Edit: whoops, Haplo already thought of minified reactors.

Will it also hold relative positions?
Then we can make transportable tents:
You carry a small builder, install it and voila:
four walls, a door, a bed, a spaceship reactor

That's not what Tynan meant with building, i think. I think he meant more "Constructions". That means you can minify say a bed and then carry it somewhere else, or a solar panel or a statue. But you can't minify whole buildings or rooms in the game.
