When Deconstructing Walls, Attached Buildables Don't Get Refunded (Doors, etc.)
When you deconstruct a wall, the attached buildables aren't refunded. I tested door and a window, both did not refund items.
This also applies to conveyor belts with items on them, and items inside of containers aren't dropped/returned if the container is deconstructed. Though conveyor and the containers are a separate issue, they can be temp resolved virtually at the same time.
Maybe a temp fix could be to not allow deconstruction of buildables if there is another buildable on them. Same if an item resides inside the buildable.

Xaeive MergedWhen deconstructing the "Wood Roof 1m" and the "2m Vertical Wood Pillar" I noticed they do not give resources back like other structures. I also noticed they are both a "sub" item. The "main" item of these items give resources back.
Example:
To get to the 2m pillar you select the 3m pillar and scroll down.
