Have you ever changed plans in the middle of a build and ended up with a bunch of railings when what you really need are solid walls? Or realized you need triangle ceilings but you JUST crafted square ceilings? You could grind them all but what a WASTE of resources! This is a QOL building mod to allow freely converting between quarter sized build pieces and their full size counterparts. This enables more freedom to experiment with building designs and helps to mitigate loss of harvested resources when your building plans change.
4 quarter walls = 1 full size wall
4 quarter ceilings = 1 full size ceiling
Wood, Stone, Metal and Tek included.
Note: Combining or dividing structures produces a temporary modded item which immediately "spoils" into the vanilla item(s). This was done to avoid adding modded build pieces that wouldn't stack with vanilla and would disappear if the mod was removed. This way the build pieces you actually build with after crafting are totally vanilla and will remain in your game even if this mod is updated or removed. This mod only provides an alternative way to craft these vanilla build pieces.
I have tested to ensure that there was no resource duping bugs after converting from one structure type to another. I guess a bonus feature is that in most cases, building a full size piece, converting to quarter sizes and then destroying refunds about 98% of the original resource cost.
I considered adding sloped walls and triangle foundations but I didn't want to clutter up the crafting menus too much. Let me know if this addition would be desirable.
Currently only tested on PC. I'm fairly certain it would work on console but I have not tested it yet.
Also have not tested on servers but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
That being said, this was my first attempt at mod creation in the ASA dev kit so feel free to let me know in the comments if I borked anything up.

--Removed XP gain from converting structures
--Removed Smithy/Tek Replicator requirements for converting, all items now crafted in player inventory
