Teardown and demolition — visible with progress

Now and then the dealer tears something down too — a level of his fuel station, a parking space, an office building. That does not happen in one go: a teardown takes time, and you can see it. It runs like a building site, only in reverse.

What you see on the dealer overview#

In the “Build-up” tab of the dealer overview, every building that is being torn down shows:

A building being torn down is never shown as “finished” and never as “under construction”. Once the teardown is done, it disappears from the list.

What happens during a teardown#

• Right at the start the level stops counting: a parking space being torn down no longer takes a vehicle; a fuel level being torn down already holds less.
• Only at the end is the ground free again: the floor area (m²) of the building is available for building again only once the teardown is finished.
• There is no money back — neither for the building nor for the materials.

Several levels at once#

The dealer can also tear down several levels of one building at once, for example three parking spaces in one go. Each level then runs as its own teardown with its own progress; the dealer overview shows “3 levels being torn down”, and each one is finished as soon as its time is up. The most recently built levels always go first.

Demolition in a workshop#

A workshop hall or a work bay is never demolished in the middle of a repair. That is why there are two states — at the dealer's just like in your own workshop:

A demolition gives no money back either. How to order a demolition in your own workshop is described under The company's own workshop.
