While there is a grid on the field, you will not be able to build anything else. You’ll have

to either place the building or cancel its placement. To cancel, right click while the place-

ment grid is still up. The grid will disappear, and READY will appear on the building icon

(in the sidebar) again. Right clicking again on the icon in the Sidebar will cancel the build-

ing and refund your credits.

Power

To the left of the construction icons is a narrow bar with a horizontal

indicator on it. This is your power bar—keep an eye on it! Every

building that you place requires power to run. Knowing how much

power you have and how much power you are using is very

important.

The blue “threshold” bar shows how much power your base (and all

its structures) needs to function optimally, while the vertical power pro-

duction bar shows how much power your base is producing. If the

vertical power production bar is yellow or red, your base doesn’t have

enough power! If it’s green, your base has enough power to run all

the structures you have built.

Lack of full power will cause construction to go slower, and will also

shut down radar (if it was built), as well as deactivating some of the
