Do not reclaim if the engi is in pausing mode

[Marc-Spector]

The pause in my understanding is the suspension of any active action of a engi or construction for an indefinite time. Why does the engineer ignore the pause mode during the reclaim?

[Garanas]

Good question - it pauses construction and / or production. But it does not 'pause' other orders, such as movement, attacking or - reclaiming. Would it be desirable if it did pause reclaiming?

[Marc-Spector]

Yes, it is desirable. When I see that the mass is overflowing, and the engineers have a lot of orders to reclaim, I have no desire to give a stop order, and then again give orders to reclaim again.

[Garanas]

I'll try and make it work before the release of tomorrow 😄 .

I think it is an issue for balance team as well

[Garanas]

I think it is a feature that is broken - but let us ping @Tagada14

[Garanas]

@Strogoo / @KionX do you have an idea how to make this work?

[Strogoo]

Try to play with unit:SetBuildRate(). I'm not sure if it affects reclaim rate, have to test that. As I remember, there is a callback in sim.unit for pause/unpause where you can place all logic that is needed. So ideally engie has an active order, active reclaim animation but in fact reclaim is stopped.

The balance team is in favor of adding this feature
