Rock'tal
Overview
The Rock'tal are a mineral-based lifeform synced with the Collector class. Their buildings boost metal, crystal, and deuterium output directly; their research covers all three resources, energy production, defensive structures, and Crawler efficiency. Rock'tal Collector Enhancement amplifies Collector class bonuses with each level.
