Possible stupid question regarding deconstruction

[Arianna 1]

I want to destroy a planet that is reasonably built up... Is it better (points wise) to deconstruct all the buildings or just destroy the planet as is?

 

Cheers and love

Points-wise, it shouldn't make a difference. It might make a difference if you get some res back when deconstructing, if you do, get res back, then yeah, it would be better to deconstruct. But I don't know whether you do or not...

I don't think you get any res back when deconstructing. In fact I belive it costs resources to deconstruct buildings. I may be wrong though.

It does cost to deconstruct, but do you get points for spending res on deconstruction?

Hmm good question. I doubt you'll get points for spending res on deconstructing. I think you'll just loose points when decreasing the levels of your buildings. Not sure though lol. Anyone else know?

You don't get points for deconstructing but rather lose points with the same formula as when you construct something. (1000 resources spend equal to 1 point in your score)
