Rulings applying to this card

Are wasted resources spent
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
My Invader ship Energy Collector is running low on durability. The card's effect says that whenever I spend invader resources, its durability is restored. I have unspent invader resources. Can I decide to spend them on nothing to repair the Energy Collector? Could I maybe use the Invader action Energy Bomb to use all my remaining Invader resources and thus repair the Energy Collector?
Ruling:
Wasted resources are not considered spent. To repair the Energy Collector, resources must be spent by paying for a cost. Using Energy Bomb spends the card's cost of one invader resource, restoring one durability to the Energy Collector. However, the additional resources lost due to Energy Bomb are not spent, so they do not count toward repairing the Energy Collector.
