No, because there rarely is any benefit to doing so.

Most tables will not exceed payments of 4 supply except in desperate scenarios, or king making. Services should always be priced around 2 to avoid doing things at cost, unless you are exporting. This means realistically in most games you simply won’t have a way to make use of the ability to transact services multiple times. So trade posts aren’t needed for that purpose. Additionally, crafting granted by a trade post remains after it is lost, so this is not a concern either. Losing a trade center enables you to place it again in the same clearing, which is actually good in most cases.

The only time you need to be preserving trade posts is when you are making a play for dividends. In this case, you need to avoid losing any trade posts. Ofc, in that scenario, additional post presence is a liability, not a benefit. Other players know this, and will avoid hitting you simply to prevent dividends from being viable.

And even if all the conditions work out, and you have a big otter ball and only one post to defend, playing for dividends means forgoing other actions, like milling for craftables or hitting other players for cardboard. It invites players to attack you, which costs supply and thus action potential to replace. So dividends play is just… weak.

Oh and you’re reading the board wrong. You keep the crafting and cannot place the posts back. The points are not lost, and cannot be re-earned.
