Rocket launch

Rocket launch is carried by Yarus launch silo: “A tactical missile will inflict significant damage at the designated location. Reconnoiter the area before launching.” Demo build 23882143 records a 65-second cooldown, range settings from 30 to 500 and a cost of 300 minerals. The word “significant” is qualitative, not a damage value. The linked spawn object continues into event and falling-object records, so the launch component does not exhaust the delivery mechanism. These links do not yet give a complete verified damage result. Reconnoitre the intended ground and distinguish launch cost, delivery and impact effects.

Yarus launch silo costs 500 minerals, while Mat. Fabricator costs 600, in demo build 23882143. The silo has 436 base hit points and 7 armour; reserve durability is a separate field. Tactical missiles is listed as an access requirement for the silo, which connects the unlock to the launch platform. These records establish an investment and a dependency, not a ranking of expensive buildings by vulnerability. Compare the platform’s complete defence and the launch cost before deciding how much protection the position needs.

Reconnoitre before launching, as the official description requests. A launch costs 300 minerals, and the silo’s own mineral price is 500; these are separate expenditures. Area illumination or Interceptor may help inspect the intended ground, but their existence does not prove that a missile tracks a moving unit or always hits what was seen. Check whether the target remains in position and whether the launch is available. The inspected delivery links support caution about timing, while the actual impact and target movement still need to be observed.

Yarus launch silo has 436 base hit points, 7 armour and an area coefficient of 0.0; its price is 500 minerals. These fields do not guarantee that a raid destroys it or that splash applies full damage. The launch cooldown is 65 seconds. A correction dated 5 September 2026 restored that recorded timing; it was not a change to the game. Track observed launches, but do not assume the opponent has no other silo or support call. Movement and pressure on the platform are options to assess against the actual attack.
