Structures of the two factions, Arm and Core, in Total Annihilation.
Arm
Tier 1
Solar Collector
Type: Resource Generator Built By: Commander, Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane. Comments: Basic energy collector. Gives 20 Solar per tick.
Wind Generator
Type: Resource Generator Built By: Commander, Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane. Comments: Another basic energy collector. Best used on windy planets. The amount of energy produced depends on wind speed which varies from planet to planet and from time to time. Wind seems to have no affect on ballistic weapons.
Tidal Generator
Type: Resource Generator Built By: Commander, Construction Ship, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane. Comments: Yet another basic energy generator, which varies in output with the tides. Often overlooked.
Energy Storage
Type: Resource Storage Built By: Commander, Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane Comments: Stores 3000 units of energy. Sometimes used to even out the ups-and-downs in Wind Generator power, or to ensure power is available for heavy artillery.
Metal Storage
Type: Resource Storage Built By: Commander, Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane Comments: Sometimes useful, if one reclaims a large amount of wrecks in battle. Otherwise it is rarely needed.
Metal Maker
Type: Resource Generator Built By: Commander, Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane Comments: Very useful
Tier 2
Geothermal PowerPlant
Type: Resource Generator Built By: Tier 1 Construction Kbot, Tier 1 Construction Vehicle, Tier 1 Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction Seaplane. Comments: This power plant can only be placed on top of venting cracks in the ground. They take time to build, but when compleated, they will produce 250 energy per tick, which is a great bonus.
