# Preventing construction loss and crafting cancellations in Island operations

When dealing with [islands](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands), use this reminder to ensure you do not lose your constructions or ongoing NFT processes.

Always remove an [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) from your in-game scene before performing any operations such as transferring between collections, listing for sale, or [renting](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/renting-items-in-worldshards).

If you own multiple identical [islands](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands), carefully check the Issue # before proceeding with any transactions to avoid confusion.

It is highly recommended not to engage in any actions involving an island that has an [artifact](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/artifacts), [crafting station](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/crafting-stations), or an active crafting process.

## Preventing Loss of Constructions

When an [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) is removed from a slot and the deletion is confirmed, all built structures will be lost. However, collectible construction objects (such as [decorations](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/collectible-decorative-item) and [artifacts](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/artifacts)) will be returned to the player’s mail.

#### Moving an Island Without Losing Constructions:

1. Locate the [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) in the left panel
2. Drag the [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) to another free slot
3. Save the scene composition<br>

3. Save the scene composition

## Preventing Loss of Ongoing Crafting Processes

Do not modify an [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) if a [crafting station](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/crafting-stations) is actively processing a [collectible item](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items). Any changes during this period may result in the forced cancellation of the crafting process.

[Islands](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) of the same size and rarity but with different serial numbers are considered distinct. This is important when managing or replacing islands.

Each [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) is defined by the following attributes:

* Capacity: The maximum number of buildings that can be placed.
* Rarity
* Artifact Slot Limit

When replacing an [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands), ensure that the new island meets or exceeds these attributes. Failing to do so will trigger the cancellation of any ongoing crafting, with a refund of the spent currency and resources.

## Comfort Parameter Considerations

#### Global Comfort Calculation:

The Comfort parameter is derived from all regular buildings and [collectible decorations](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/collectible-decorative-item) across your [islands](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands).

#### Impact of Island Removal:

Removing an [island](https://wiki.worldshards.online/game/economy-overview/collectible-items/player-islands) that significantly contributes to your overall Comfort can forcefully cancel all active collectible crafting processes. Always take care to assess the impact before making changes.
