Breaking Connected Chains and Recovering Items

Removing Placed Chains

If you misplace a link, want to change the distance between posts, or need to reconfigure an existing border, you can remove chains without destroying the underlying fence or wall posts.

To take down a connection:

1. Approach the chain link hanging between the posts, or target the visible knot attached to either fence or wall.

2. Hit the connected chain or knot directly.

3. The link will immediately break away from both anchor posts.

Reclaiming Your Materials

Breaking a chain connection does not destroy the item. When you hit and break a connected chain or knot, you get your chain item back immediately. This makes redesigning railings completely non-destructive. You can test different post positions along castle bridges or garden borders, break any connections that do not fit your layout, pick up the returned chain items, and reattach them elsewhere.
