Full Refund for Salvage

As a new player I'm constantly trying to build different things to see what they do. Unfortunately, this game hasn't gotten on the trend of fully refunding materials when taking something apart. For such a futuristic setting, I think this is short sighted. Since I can't just pickup say a Claim block I had to salvage it and then remake it. A lot of experimenting is punished because its a loss of time and resources. I tried looking for a mod that accomplishes my goal but haven't found anything.

If you are going to suggest I just do things in creative mode, such modes ruin games for me. After one day of playing in Minecraft Creative mode I never went back to the game.

That's exactly what creative mode is for. You design your blueprints in creative mode and then build them in survival mode.
You can also use a deconstructor to get back everything.

If you're looking for a custom scenario to do this, why not make your own that does? Would take like 5 minutes of work on your end.

Are you playing Vanilla or another scenario?

Using the recover blocks mode of the master tool the only thing I don't get back whole is a core in Vanilla

And playing Star Salvage they even have a core that you can pick back up
If I build something in the constructor that I no longer need that I can stick most things back into the deconstructor to reclaim all the parts

Just use "recover" to pick up all the other blocks, then salvage the core. The core it's self is the only thing you lose. (You do need a Multitool.)

You never get back all salvage, because it is damaged stuff. And, if you remove your core first, then the rest is automatically salvage.

What I like to do is run a survival game and a creative game at the same time. I do a survival game as normal but when I want to try to make a new SV, lets say, I quit out and go into creative mode and experiment and make a blue print of the design, then start up the survival game and "build" the blue print.

It is also good to look at existing blueprints other people have made to get ideas.

I generally never play creative mode in games except in this case.
