I tend to imagine those are warehouses or bunkers. Same with recovering ship components.
Recovery of the installations is now done by construction brigades, not engineers.
I've also found that a construction brigade's commander's Xeneology rating makes a huge difference in their success at recovering instalations, but that might just be the RNG messing with my head.
Oh, and I always move a healthy garrison in first. Especially with multipule construction brigades, you can have several caches of robotic guardians attacking you at the same time, and I've seen groups of up to 9 enemy battalions from just one cache, with three caches uncovered at the same time or on the 5 day incriment after the first.
