You build your tent with 10 brahmin hides using science...I think that you should be able to use science on your currenttent to obtain 10 new hides. Ofcourse your tent will disappearbut you will get 10 hides, tell me what you think!
I'd say yes for such feature, but I don't think that it should be 10 hides. It should be something between 3-9, depending on your luck and repair skill (repair for check if you can disassemble everything correctly, and luck for check if you are lucky enough and wouldn't break everything while dissembling your tent)
The reason why no such feature is in the game is because we don't know how to do it: Using the tent walls isn't possible. Adding some other item to use feels strange, etc. The only way I could imagine this, was with adding a caravan cart to use. But here the problem is, from where the hell is that thing coming if you build a tent. This led me to another idea: Building a tent will require brahmin hides and a caravan car (with the hides in it's trunk). Though, I bet players wont like that, as it makes it harder to build a tent.
