Worker Time [TOP]
The unit's Worker Time, or 'build speed' denotes the speed at which it can supply materials to the unit building.

I have given this variable units of nanites/seconds, n/s. This describes the function of the "Nano-Lathe" quite well.

Further discussion of how this variable is interrelated with the Build Cost's can be found under Build Cost Time

*Note that the TA engine rounds down worker times to the nearest multiple of 30. Thus we use 180n/s rather than the raw FBI file's specified 200n/s.

*Note the Necro has a zero build distance. This means that unless the unit reanimates into its nanolathe, or otherwise physically touches it, it cannot effectivly be set to guard.

Build Distance [TOP]
This is the maximum distance from which a unit can begin a build from.

*Note that the on rare occasions where the unit initiates a build but moves beyond the Build Distance but the unit being built does not itself move, the nano-stream can become very long. This can be most easily seen with many aircraft guarding a single aircraft plant.
