Description

Description

While reclaiming large wrecks like epic tzars or big structures like lolcannos it would come in handy to have a reclaim countdown shown that displays how long the entire reclaim would take. As a counterpart to the build countdown that tells you when a structure is going to be finished.

Why?

When reclaiming live structures like solar panels or fusions, it would be nice to know approximately when I can expect the metal to return again.

What area of the game does this feature request pertain?

Research direction
The feature request asks for a reclaim countdown similar to the existing construction countdown. To implement, locate the code for the construction countdown UI element, likely in Lua files under the 'luaui' directory. Then modify or create a similar component for reclaim progress. Check the game's UI framework for countdown display logic.
