I do think that the reclaimer is too generous though, at least for bodies. crunching someone gives you a good deal more biomatter than a clone takes, so you could just cycle autoclones if you're bored (but then incoming dead will fill the biomatter when they come in anyway). I think we should tweak the numbers on what the reclaimer gives and/or what cloning takes a bit so there's only a couple of clones at round start unless you actively enlist help from botany or monkeydome conscripts.
you can actually just pour blood(not a great rate of return) or synthflesh into cloning pods to fill up their biomatter. synthflesh is 1u = 1% biomatter, so it's super easy to roundstart fill up the initial cloning pod (or the up to 2 extras that get constructed)
even with 3 pods if you get them filled up roundstart you're not gonna have biomatter issues for the rest of the round
