Steel mini-turret have 8kg

If I deconstruct the mini-turret I obtain 75 Steel and 2 components

75 steel = 37.5kg
2 components = 1.2kg
Total: 38.7kg

This doesn't make any sense and it's easy to exploit when you attack a faction instead of deconstructing to obtain materials, simply I uninstall, form a caravan which have only 8kg, return to my base and then deconstruct it for the materials. It's can be exploited expecially when someone play a scenario like ice sheet or sea ice where the building items are so rare.

This is just an example of one item. The same issue is for other items like electric smelter, electric stove, etc..
I ate without a table and I liked it.

But there are other cases too.
Any bed 30kg, deconstruct give 34 resourses.
34 wood = 34 x 0.4kg = 13.6kg
steel = 34 * 0.5kg = 27kg
granite = 34 * 1.25kg = 42kg
You see in this case it depend on the material.

You notice sometimes it is better to deconstruct, in other cases you should keep the item.
But that is allready an old discussion but i forget the statement of the devs not to change it.

Yeah, it's a bit tricky to balance properly, added to todo, thanks.
