    I feel confused about the locusts.
    According to PADB, the DPS of locusts is only 100.
    But sometime the DPS seems to be much higher.

    Does the locusts get extra DPS bonus on specific units or buildings?

    It deals much more damage to structures. The damage is multiplied by the armor damage map value for each type of unit specified. That's why nukes don't kill commanders.

    So where can I see that damage table?
    I want to know how to defend locusts.

    Locusts do metal damage. First of all it's based on the amount of metal rather than the amount of HP. Secondly, that is living metal; units, especially structures, have up half of their metal left in wreckage, so locusts only have to eat the living portion to kill the unit.

    As a point of reference, I divided regular damage by 4 when I converted units to reclaim for junkyard wars. Reason being that when I first converted inferno (400 regular dps if I recall) at a 1-1 ratio, buildings would more or less evaporate instantly.

    OHHHHHH ok thanks because I didn't bother checking for the armor damage so I assumed it was like the nuke.

    So the locusts is like a combat fabricator which can deal damage to enemy by reclaim.
    What is its reclaim speed? 120 metal per second?

    PADB lists it as 100dps, except it's mps.
