1. make units that are guarding another construction unit to join in in an reclaim order: for example, 1 adv con, 5 farks guarding him. then when I order my adv con to reclaim a geo, I want my farks to join in

2. make mexes overbuildable by mohos, with maybe autoreclaim?

I was under the impression that helping to reclaim did not increase the speed of reclaimation unless it was being used against a live unit.

If that is so, it is just plain illogical and might as well be rectified as we push for these other improvements.

A dev mentioned that this was to prevent some exploit, I think... but yeah, currently it's hardcoded to 1 con per reclaim.

except in the case of reclaiming enemy units, where (imho) the REAL exploit would be found, if there ever was one.

If mohos were able to be placed over regular mexxes would be awesome.

I am thinking from some time about making a patch for autoreclaiming mexes when building mohos. I think it can be made in the same way as reclaiming features which blocks buildsite.
I will probably start it next week.

On a lot fo maps its possible to build the moho whiel the mex is still extracting then reclaim the mex afterwards, but people forget and reclaim before hand anyways loosing metal as a result, this would just encourage the latter on these types of maps.

a good fix would be a noenemyreclaim tag :)

If 5 cons reclaimed a corpse, you'd get 5x the metal
