Pattern Remover scraps best chest

Copied from 'Players Guide'
"Removing Patterns: Eternal Patterns can be removed from items which are using them. You can remove an Eternal Pattern from an item by salvaging it (therefore destroying the item), by applying another pattern to that item, or by using a Pattern Remover at a crafting station. Using a Pattern Remover resets the item to the original visual state and removes the pattern without destroying the item or the pattern."
So you see what's happened ? It's kept the Eternal Pattern and the Pattern Remover and scrapped my best chest. Boohoo :-(

1. Reproduction Rate: Not going to try it again
2. Blocker? No but upsetting
3. Details: Place items in crafting window select 'salvage' look in horror at result
4. Steps to Reproduce: I said I'm not trying it again

@Mimsey Borrowgrove, you weren't supposed to hit the salvage button. you were supposed to hit the craft button.

 

Indeed User Error On That.

And you hit Salvage. Admittedly

 

Yep my bad. Sorry. But the instruction is more implicit than explicit so my quick look for what I needed to see missed the implication. Once bitten - lesson learnt ;-)
But I do get to keep the pattern remover ;-)
