New version, one con unit per feature, why?

"-Changed so several units cant reclaim a feature at once"
Why?

To reclaim faster... if you have your commander and a contruktion plane nearby, of your in desprate need of metal and sends out a swad of lvl2 contrukstion planes.

Sounds like a dud rounding for a real 'problem'.

No, this is a real problem. Imagine eastside-westside where multiple units can help reclaim the same feature. It would be trivial to get an average metal income of like 1K metal per tick within the first 10 minutes of the game. Combine that with the fact that metal storage stores 10K metal, and you have a recipe for an unbalanced game. It is good that they fixed this.

if you more than one construction units available i dont really see any reason why you shouldnt be able to reclaim something with more than one.

No, the point is that you got the amount of metal the object is supposed to give for EACH con unit reclaiming. Say you have a rock worth 100 metal, and reclaim it with 10 air cons; that's +1000 metal for you, off a rock worth 100. This is known of multi reclaiming, it's cheating, it's wrong, and it's good the SYs fixed that.

No this isnt a fix for multireclaiming (meaning more metal from a single feature) that has never existed in spring. This is so you cant swoop in with 50 con air and reclaim some battleships wreckages before the opponent can react.
