auto reclaim on unit's?

Postby warpie » 02 Sep 2015, 17:34

Hello there all

About the Engineers :
I have a question, is there an automatic reclaim for units ?
I know if you use patrol, he automatically reclaimed in natural areas such as trees, stone etc.
but this system does not apply to units that have been destroyed

Is there another way out to reclaim the destroyed units?

with kind regards

I think attack move also reclaims wrecks of units (unless recently changed) Try alt+rightclick and then it'll reclaim anything on its path.

It does, however.

Two other options are: manual reclaim on desired wreck and attack move in the general direction of the wreck (reclaimable stuff on the way will be scooped up as well, like a patrol order). Use attack move as the first order out of a factory to greatly increase the range your engineers can reclaim in.

Omg, i saw this thread and hoped some one will answer. But you missed most important part.
Patrol or attack move will not reclaim stuff when storage is full or almost full.

Patrol and attack move are almost identical.

There are 3 types of reclaim on map, that gives only power (grass leafs bushes cactuses), only mass ( wrecks rocks, civillian metal constructions) and both (forest)

So for example if you have full mass storage wrecks will be ignored but forest or bushes not.
