to create island layouts that are efficiently organized for both maintainability and aesthetic appeal. In many cases entire islands were
rebuilt and restructured more than once to achieve orderly production facilities.
To provide a "free" feature that would permit demolition and rebuild, would be a disservice to those individuals that have paid already for
destruction of existing buildings and subsequent reconstruction costs. In essence, this feature would reward people for haphazard
building placement.
Since this is a "Sim" game, it it should reflect real life construction/reconstruction activities and costs. It is, therefore, suggested that
a "Rebuild Tax" be applied to relocation of any building.
