Engineering

Engineering is one of the several different types of research items. This research item costs 3 BP.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Building the engineering upgrade station allows structures to auto-construct (Planetary Campaign description).
* Structures build themselves
* Structures regenerate own health
* Structures use 2 ammo to finish building
* Structure destruction does not lose morale (Planetary Campaign)
This allows structures and buildings to self-construct, eliminating the need for Marines to manually build them. The cost for this automation is 2 ammo. Moreover, if any structures are destroyed, they will automatically rebuild themselves.
It's important to note that when out of ammo, manual construction becomes impossible until more ammo is acquired. The option to have marines build structures manually is unavailable.
== Usage ==
The Engineering research serves three primary purposes:
First, it facilitates the creation of upgrade buildings in secure zones. After implementing Engineering, one can construct buildings like Life Support and Grenades remotely, allowing subsequent destruction of the Engineering structure.
Second, it permits the strategic placement of turrets and mine fields in conjunction with an attack. This involves positioning mine fields near enemy hives in the direction marines are approaching from, or deploying turrets where marines are expected to converge, ensuring they engage enemies instantly.
Third, it enables remote item destruction, such as using a turret from Engineering to annihilate enemy items like infested siege cannons. After achieving this, both the turret and the Engineering structure can be dismantled to initiate an attack unburdened by cannon fire.
