The short answer

Academy discussion explains that reclaim bots repair and reclaim on fight or patrol orders, while Alt plus fight or patrol inverts priority so they resurrect before reclaiming.

That command detail changes whether the field turns back into army or just into metal.

Why this matters

  • Without the right command, players can get behavior that feels wrong or inconsistent.
  • The issue is often not the unit itself, but the command mode given to it.
  • Knowing the priority rules saves a lot of frustration.

What a player should actually do

  • Use fight or patrol when reclaim and repair are the main goal.
  • Use Alt plus fight or patrol when resurrection should happen first.
  • Check energy and field safety before committing to large-scale resurrection work.

Common mistake

The common mistake is assuming graverobbers will infer the exact desired behavior without command context. Their priority depends heavily on how they are ordered.
