1.9: Reclaiming | [Back to the WarGuide]
Trees, rocks, plants, and many other structures can all be reclaimed for metal or energy. Reclaiming is often overlooked, but when you are out of a certain valuable it can prove itself very useful. One of the easiest ways to get the most out of reclaiming is to set a construction aircraft on a patrol route over a bunch of rocks or trees. It will automatically reclaim everything possible, giving way to less micromanagement on your part. Reclaiming has helped me many times gain an edge on my opponent, and should not be overlooked. Also, after a large battle, send a construction unit over to reclaim the wreckages. A large battle almost always requires a ton of resources to make more units for another large battle, and reclaiming can aid you in making these units.
