Built-in nails and boards disappearing.

So I was building myself a Farmer's House, and after building in the 12 nails it takes, I went to get food. During the food binge session, my client crashed.
Upon relogging and returning to my build site, I found that the 12 nails were gone.

I figured that I might have forgotten to actually build them in, so I put 12 more nails along with the boards it takes. This time, I made sure that I built them in.

After I made sure they were in there, I went back to my stockpiles to grab the hay, and crashed yet again.

This time, the nails were gone along with the boards.

Now, the build site is literally right outside of my claim area, as I was waiting for completion to claim over it.
I'm not sure if there's someone out there with incredible timing that was somehow extracting the built in materials, or if it's some kind of bug, but it's become pretty expensive just to regain the progress I've made.

I'm not complaining about griefing by any means. I just want to know if this is a known bug or not before I start trying to build the house again.

Anyone?

Was the signpost completely gone? Could be someone just messing with you and breaking it or decay hitting the sign, if so. Houses sit on multiple tiles so they have more chances to take decay hits, and one decay hit knocks out a sign. Decay won't hit on active claims, so your best bet would be to claim it before building. If someone's breaking it on you, they'd need to leave scents to do so if it's claimed.

The first time, the post wasn't gone for some reason.

The second time, it was.

I wasn't aware of the different decay factors, so that might have been an issue.

I guess I'll just claim over the area and get back to it. If it happens again, I'll make sure to catch the scrub what's stealing my materials.

You can also part build your structure with the materials that are already loaded into the sign, that will stop anyone from taking them and might prevent decay
