best way:
patrol: reclaim,repair,assist
attack move:only reclaim

Imho it can be similar as is with attack - click on patrol toggle and show posibility, with option:
1. patrol and reclaim, repair and assist
2. patrol and only reclaim,
3. patrol and only assist,
4. patrol and only repair,
5. patrol and only move ,whitout any other action

this is most of posibility what can be do, whitotu any negative consequences on game.

What is actually annoying is that they won't resume reclaiming if you were fully loaded in ress.

Attack move->reclaim something elsewhere to pretty much full bank->engis repair nearby mex->mass gone, still repairing nearby mex. Let alone the fact that I almost never want to repair my mexes.

I agree with this, I don't think I ever purposely made my engineers assist on an attack move command.

I'm a complete newb at this game but if anyone is interested in my opinion: I will gladly take any feature that makes the complex and rpm intensive economy of SupCom easier to manage.

Some additional ui tool ideas the could really help:
An advancement to sequentially upgrading mexes that allows for easy (in a movement time optimized way) including of engies, going to t3 automatically and automatically building mass storage when appropriate. Maybe with a little bar to increase/decrease the amount of engies on the task
A tool that automatically sets engies on reclaim energy/mass when needed.

Indeed there have, and yet those mistakes have, by and large, been remedied, and the game now is in a state near-unrecognisable compared to 3599. It is much, much better.

I've decided, for me at least, that as far as reclaiming goes my ultimate goal would be to have the Patrol command be as efficient at reclaim as manual. Perhaps, even, to have a second patrol command which does reclaim only, and will not risk Engineers assisting or building things when they aren't supposed to be.

If the factory-reclaim bug fix is included in the end, then this reclaim command becomes something very useful to make up for the (Broken) efficiency of that old bug, in a legitimate manner.

And there's been bad consequence as well. Let's not forget that.

Because FAF improved FA so drastically by not changing things from respective current situations, right?

How about you don't change it from the current situation ?
Just for once ...

When the bug with move-attack factory reclaim is fixed reclaim will become a more micro-intensive task. Patrol works somewhat yes.

Also, every "standard" unit command can target ground at the moment except reclaim, which seems illogical. Maybe the command should set a marker on the ground and then have the engineer reclaim an area automatically, moving around. And then you can move that reclaim marker.

People are good at shooting down ideas but worse when it comes to actually come up with a better solution. That's a lazy behavior and should be discouraged / ignored.

this is really good idea, but I think better would be if this would work only for rocks/wrecks (biggest ones first maybe?)

Ofc we know. Just the transport thing is not viable in a real game (4v4).
You think we micro our reclaiming eng for fun ?
