1 I usually tell my caretakers to guard their factories as soon as their nanoframes are up. This prevents them from wandering off-task in between units. 1 I usually tell my caretakers to guard their factories as soon as their nanoframes are up.

3 Its true that you don't usually have production facilities near the front, but you might be building defenses or allies might be building defenses, and you may prefer that your nanos keep reclaiming rather than help with those things. Good metal management means you're always starved for metal, which means that a nano deciding to reclaim rather than assist is (usually) the best behavior. If a nano is assisting when you're starved for metal, its technically wasting a percentage of its build power, whereas its never wasting build power when its reclaiming. 3 Its true that you don't usually have production facilities near the front, but you might be building defenses or allies might be building defenses, and you may prefer that your nanos keep reclaiming rather than help with those things.

5 I think the current default caretaker behavior is ok, but having a way of allowing/disallowing certain things would be nice, I guess. When I build frontline nanos I usually wish there was a way to disable automatic build assist, while still having the nano automatically repair and reclaim within its range. I want support nanos in the front but I don't want them to potentially disrupt my economy by randomly assisting with ally buildings and so. 5 I think the current default caretaker behavior is ok, but having a way of allowing/disallowing certain things would be nice, I guess.

7 ( low priority is a thing but this causes the nano to be stuck assisting that thing until its done, during which time it won't repair or reclaim) 7 ( low priority is a thing but this causes the nano to be stuck assisting that thing until its done, during which time it won't repair or reclaim, so its not a full solution)
