The Amazing Adaptability of Woodsap Mechs
As amazing as his Woodsap mechs could be, it was hard for them to unleash their full potential when they were running low on resources.
Their rapid regeneration that allowed them to bounce back from heavy strikes time and time again put an enormous drain on their reserves.
Without enough TE Wood or compatible biomass in the vicinity, the advanced Carmine mechs could no longer replenish their organic frames as quickly or as extensively as before.
Without enough energy, they could not properly fuel the processes that allowed them to fight and restore themselves on the battlefield.
The Terran test pilots should have made the decision to return to their motherships so that they could properly replenish themselves.
However, they did not do so for two reasons.
One of them was that their side was already short-handed on the battlefield. Any withdrawal had a chance to trigger a catastrophic cascade.
