What it is

Medical block is described as “Slowly restores health to infantry in a large square.” The record belongs to build 23882143. The words “Slowly” and “large” express the intended healing role; related components add measurable parameters. Linked components connect this upgrade to the fixed bunker and the mobile support-platform variant, and related healing records contain amount, scan timing and range. Those fields should not be converted into an undocumented per-second formula. Use the host’s generated healing record rather than declaring a missing rate or radius from the short upgrade description alone.

Where it comes from

Medical tower uses the phrase “in a small square” and Med. Bunker uses “in the area”. These are separate descriptions in build 23882143, not a measured ladder of healing efficiency. The raw components for Medical block contain healing parameters that support a more precise comparison. The developer’s faction discussion on 10 February 2026 provides context for recycling and infantry, but does not prove the absence of every healing upgrade in another faction. Compare each healing host and its target type rather than assigning an entire faction one universal recovery mechanic.

How it is actually used

The developer’s infantry discussion on 10 February 2026 supports the faction context, not a healing-efficiency calculation. Mass infantry has 2 100 base hit points and a 500-point reserve; that large pool does not by itself make the same heal more valuable or able to outpace incoming damage. Medical block is linked to particular support hosts and requires the Arsenal in its upgrade record. Compare the host’s healing amount, scan timing, target type and coverage with the position you intend to hold. Do not infer a combat threshold from the word slowly.

How to beat it

The flamethrower turret’s calculated anti-infantry output of 369.2 is a weapon reference, not a measured threshold at which Medical block stops helping. Healing components do exist, but their scan timing does not alone establish a continuous healing rate. Identify the host and supported troops before choosing concentrated damage or an attack on the support position. A fixed bunker and a mobile support platform also have different protection, so there is no supported claim that every healing host is fragile. Compare the relevant host page and actual battlefield position.
