Oh i never meant that would like that either. That would be unplayable. But it would make more sense than getting back the resources from the cosmos, like blodir is suggesting.
I must have missed the part in supcom lore where mass disappears to the void when constructing units

The only difference this game has over it's peers is a hashed conversion to SC's Flow Economy idea. Which was not necessarily a new original design either. My assumption was they looked at CNC in their competition research and decided "hey why don't we make power also like the mass?" and it worked out in testing.

That said, the idea that power stall is a game mechanic designed to punish players is as ridiculous as thinking that factories / resource gatherers should work with no power...
