Having not played any of them but knowing some things about how base management works solely through this comic, I assume you capture resources (such as unconscious enemy personnel, livestock, shipping containers and so on) and have them shipped back to base using the Fulton Recovery Devices. I'm guessing there is some sort of reward for doing so consistently, causing one to instinctively every little thing into the sky that they find in the world.
The compulsive nature carries into any situation in which one would find something, and happening upon the storage area in which everything in the world that you instinctively ballooned into the horizon would probably be a major problem for someone who hasn't stepped out of the compulsive collector's mindset.
METAL GEARISTS, AM I CORRECT?!
Unconscious soldiers join your base as workers and soldiers, you get heroism and GMP from livestock (something about environmentalists wanting you to save the animals in the war zones), and the shipping containers are full of resources used to expand your base and develop weaponry. There's not really a "reward" other than the fact that you now have more of this thing than you had previously.
It's really just a gamer compulsion after a while. I personally have 900+ more soldiers than will actively work on my base
(up to about 1,000 will stay in the waiting room if all positions are full) and I still go out of my way to evacuate everyone I can. I don't really see a reason to spend all my time disbanding them as they sort of just leave on their own when there's too many anyways sooo
I keep wanting to grab all those containers at the base myself but so far I've managed because I'm not sure if it's just a waste of GMP or what.
