The Carryall is a support aircraft used by all three Houses in Dune II.
Background[]
The Carryall is a lightly armored aircraft with no weapons. It is able to lift and transport heavy machinery and vehicles. Carryalls are utilized primarily for transporting Harvesters.
Game unit[]
Carryalls are uncontrollable support aircraft. When idle, they will circle around their base. They will automatically fly off to pick up any full harvesters on the map to bring them to the Refinery to unload, and will return harvesters from the refinery back to the Spice field they came from.
If a unit cannot be ejected from its factory after being built due to the factory being blocked at all sides, a Carryall will pick up the unit from its factory and drop it off somewhere close by.
If the player owns a Repair Facility, Carryalls will also venture out into the battlefield to pick up damaged units to repair. If, after repairs, the unit cannot be ejected from the Repair Facility due to obstructed exits, the unit will be brought back to the exact spot where it was picked up.
Unlike Ornithopters, Carryalls are not attacked by enemies. However, they can be destroyed if a ground vehicle is destroyed while the carryall is in the process of picking it up.
