			This assumption is somewhat flawed. In actuality, any structure that can be sold (does not have <tt>[[Unsellable]]=yes</tt>) and undeploys into any unit (has <tt>[[UndeploysInto]]=</tt>''unit'') will make the unit that it undeploys into appear when it is sold. This means that selling that structure produces virtually the same effect as undeploying it normally, except the structure ''will'' expell infantry crew (unless the structure has <tt>[[Crewed]]=no</tt>). The structure will ''not'', however, give a <tt>[[Soylent]]</tt> refund.

If this effect were replicatable without side-effects, then one could use it on the Mobile War Factory (rally-point instead of undeploy, sell to undeploy with soylent=0).
