Resource Tower

Function: allows the commander to tap a ship or base's raw nano-supplies, by constructing collection machines over resource nozzles. See Resources and Nanotech for more information.

Reserves of nano-sludge (see nanotech) are stored throughout ships and bases, intended mainly for use in emergencies or for large repairs. Resource towers put these reserves to work for the marines, slowly converting them into a ready-to-use form, and storing them in the network. Active resource nozzles are marked by white nano-telltales, rising like steam into the air.
