Plasma turret

Plasma turret is described as “A plasma cutter against enemy vehicles. Constant pure damage burns away any armor.” It costs 100 minerals and 40 energy, with a recorded size radius of 1.0, in demo build 23882143. The description identifies an anti-vehicle plasma role; it does not supply a measured attack cycle or an armour formula. No main combat prefab is linked, so an attack and protection profile cannot be established for this turret through the archive’s normal unit link. Read the other turret pages for supported weapons while keeping this description’s intended role separate from measured performance.

The description uses “Constant pure damage” and “burns away any armor” in build 23882143. Those are the developer’s words about the intended plasma attack, not proof of a resistance formula or armour reduction over time. The main combat prefab is unlinked, so no weapon cycle, range or clean-damage field can be attributed to this turret through it. Plasma tank shares a name theme, but the descriptions do not link their attacks. Read the weapon comparisons without treating this wording as a measured interaction with every kind of armour.

The recorded price is 100 minerals and 40 energy with a size radius of 1.0. The Mutant anti-aircraft building at 120 minerals and a Rebels machine-gun turret at 80 offer different defensive roles. A size radius of 1.0 cannot supply firing reach or prove a safe placement. Without a linked plasma weapon, cost comparisons do not establish equivalent output or an escort requirement. Read the anti-vehicle and turret pages for documented target types, and leave this turret’s working placement and damage rate unresolved.

The mistake is to turn the plasma description into a guarantee that armour is useless against this turret. The earlier reading dated 31 August 2026 examined an unlinked combat configuration, not an armour test. No supported weapon field gives range, rate or a resistance interaction, and missing protection does not make the building untargetable. Compare other defensive weapons where their damage and targets are linked, while reserving a counter for this plasma attack until its own measurements or playable evidence are available.
