I don't think the UI would be too bad - I'd just use the existing Puppy/Retreat functionality.

Let's assume it's *not* a con (my preferred approach, but it makes the UI easier since cons create conflicts between resurrect/harvest)

1) Use the Puppy Goo logic for harvesting. That is, unit just stands next to wreck and auto-claims. Disablable with the On/Off button.

2) When the unit has harvest-reclaimed to max, the unit automatically heads to teh nearest *retreat* point. Retreat works well here because tehre are usually lots of nanos near a *retreat* point.

3) Arriving at the retreat zone, the unit spits out a feature that contains all the metal from the unit's puppy-goo bay. Spitting out the feature can be manually initiated with the D-gun command. Unit automatically avoids doing harvest/reclaim within a retreat zone.

4) If possible, give the unit support for the "reclaim" order even though the unit lacks a nano. The puppy probably needs that too.

Either
way,
the
point
is
that
the
Puppy
provides
precedent
for
a
non-reclaiming
wreck-eater
and
as
much
of
the
Puppy
logic
as
possible
could
be
reused
here.
The
only
difference
needed
from
the
Puppy
is
the
behavior
when
the
internal
bay
is
full
-
retreat-and-spit
instead
of
spawning
a
new
Puppy,
and
avoiding
doing
the
harvesting
within
a
retreat-zone.

There, no new UI, and the unit behaves intuitively and automatically (as long as you set retreat zones).
