# Destroy/Removal Tool

Removal Tool is used to destroy and remove unwanted items and obstructions to construction on a single game-tile in the game-view.

To Use: Click red-cross-icon (bulldozer-icon in pak128) at top of the game-view or press [r] key to open Removal Tool (it changes cursor to a red-cross-over-dust-cloud). Position cursor in game-view, a yellow outline indicates position on which tool will operate (map coordinates are indicated in the bottom-bar). Then click on object in the game-view to remove it. If you are authorized for removal, the object will be removed from the map without warning.

The cost of removal is equivalent to the cost of construction (for player items). The cost of destroying city buildings is the same as their value as shown in dialogue opened with Inspection Tool. There is also a cost for destroying trees.
