Reclaim & upgrades

More reclaim & upgrades

  • Reclaim — Resources from wrecks and terrain · Requires reachable material

Quick notes

  • Reclaim the battlefield. Engineers and the ACU can recover resources from wreckage and environmental objects.
  • Stage upgrades instead of stalling. Extractor and factory upgrades compete with unit production.
  • Assistance increases demand. More assisting engineers speed construction by spending resources faster.
  • Place adjacency deliberately. Appropriate neighboring structures provide adjacency benefits.
