A constructor can un-build a unit or a structure and replenish resources. Some map features can give an amount of metal, energy or both in reclaim, depending on the map.

Killed Units leave behind a wreck, debris or nothing. Reclaiming the remnants is encouraged and may lead to economic victory. However, reclaiming them does not provide energy.

  • Wrecks can hold 40% of the original unit metal value.
  • Debris can hold 20% of the original unit metal value.
  • Reclaiming an alive unit yields 80%.

Additional Information[edit]

  • Resurrecting a wreck with Athena first refills reclaim bar for the wreck if it's not full yet.
  • Only case when you can receive full unit's metal worth is when you cancel unit production in factory.
    • Canceling factory production refunds only metal cost, energy cost is not refunded and is lost.
  • Reclaiming unfinished nanoframe seems to be particular case of reclaiming alive unit and as such, refunds 80% of metal cost.
    • You can reclaim your own nanoframes and alive units.
    • You can reclaim allied and enemy nanoframes (even if it is currently building). Allied reclaiming is generally considered offensive: Read the Code of Conduct!
  • Reclaim speed is the same as the constructor's build power. For reclaiming alive units, this means the metal income from reclaiming will only be 80% of the constructor's build power while talking no more time than construction.
