Power sources don't give money back when picked up?

If you remove a power source, it doesn't refund the money like with most other objects. Even if you remove it entirely, you don't get the money back. At least, I haven't been. This has caused some trial-and-error projects to become overly costly.

I think I noticed this with electric floors as well.

Is this intended? Or a bug?

I think once you press done, all of the items that was set that time can't be refund. You can only refund while you are building it.

The only items that can moved around once you  set them in place with a self test are "mobiles": dogs, cats, panic buttons and shotguns. All other items can't be moved once set in place and will give no form of a refund.

Think of it like, instead of a refund... you are just sticking a lead on the dog/cat/family member and moving them to a new location.

When you have confirmed your changes by pressing done and doing the self-test, nothing you remove will give you any money back. You can still always move around the vault, family and pets free of charge.

You also have a leash for your pet panic button.

You CAN freely replace everything, and effectively "move stuff around," as long as you haven't completed a self-test (reached your own vault).  After you do that, all your changes are billed to you permanently.

Re: Power sources don't give money back when picked up?

No... pets cannot cross panic buttons. What Jason means is that, because of the implementation, panic buttons ARE pets. Like in the game code, they are immortal, motionless pets that have the properties of buttons. Because of this, it so happens that they can be moved about with no extra costs in the same way that pets can. It's very odd.
