The Naval Energy Converter converts energy into metal and can be built on the water. This makes it excellent to use on maps with limited or no land.

Build in smaller groups to prevent explosive chain reactions if destroyed.

Later in the game, you may have excess energy that’s going to waste. So consider building multiple converters to produce more metal. Converts 70 energy into 1.1 metal per second, and can be built by the Commander or other construction units.

When attacking an enemy base, aim for their converters to set off an explosive chain reaction and cause damage to other nearby structures.

The Beholder is a tiny observation structure that can be built practically anywhere, even on the side of steep cliffs.

It has Cloak and Stealth and is hidden from radar AND line of sight when it's cloaked, making it impossible to detect.

It costs -3 energy while uncloaked, and -15 when it's cloaked.

It cannot see cloaked units, but likewise, spy bots/stealth tanks etc. cannot see the camera. If you set a staggered line of them in a gap, any cloaked units moving through it will be revealed when they unwittingly blunder into one.

Set cameras to watch over any contested ground to defeat radar jamming—especially useful vs. Sharpshooters paired with a Smuggler.

Beholders are instantly destroyed by a Juno missile.

The Wind Turbine produces energy using the wind. Energy production varies depending on the wind speed, which also changes in real-time and for each map.

Be aware that wind speeds can change at any moment.

Wind Turbines are best used on maps with strong wind, as the production rate will be more likely to stay high. However, if the wind is weak, try using Solar Collectors instead.

The Metal Extractor extracts metal from metal spots on each map. The amount of metal you can extract per second is shown on each metal spot, with some spots giving more than others, especially contested ones.

Grunts are cheap units for protecting metal extractors from early raids.

Metal extractors are primary targets during early-game raids, and if destroyed, can stall an opponent's construction and give you the upper hand.

Metal extractors cost 3 energy per second in upkeep. Be mindful of this.

The Radar Tower provides early warning of enemy units and their movements on the battlefield. It’s also cheap and quick to build.

Use it to monitor nearby units and watch for air attacks.

Radar coverage is blocked by high terrain, and can be jammed by units with radar jammers, or evaded by cloaked units.

Their high sight range and cheap cost makes them useful even on the front for spotting enemies.

The Tidal Generator produces energy through water movement. Tidal energy production is a consistent value and is pre-determined by the map settings.

Build in smaller groups to prevent explosive chain reactions if destroyed.

They’re essential when there is limited land and excellent on water maps.

The Castro is a short-range radar jammer. It can hide radar signatures for all allied units within its range.

Jammers are great for protecting your units from long-range fire, especially artillery.

The Castro is cheaper than the Armada Sneaky Pete, but it has a shorter jamming radius.

The Naval Radar/Sonar Tower provides early warning of enemy units in the air, on land, and even underwater.

Use it to monitor nearby units and watch for air attacks.

Radar coverage is blocked by high terrain, and can be jammed by units with radar jammers, or evaded by cloaked units.

The Solar Collector produces energy using the sun. Solar energy production is a constant +20 and is essential when wind speeds are low.

Can be used for backup energy when the wind is weak.

They’re not as cost-effective as Wind Turbines, and instead, provide a safe and stable source of energy.

The Energy Storage increases your energy storage capacity by 6000.

Great for powering weapons that consume large amounts of energy.

It's also useful for storing excess energy for later use, and to reduce energy stalls when wind speed is low or if you lose your generators.

Energy Storages explode for high damage in a large area when killed, even higher when self-destructed. You can exploit this by deliberately building it as a bomb right where enemies may invade from.

The Construction Turret can assist and repair nearby units, and it has more build power than any other unit, excluding the Commander. They automatically default to a Fight order when not directly controlled, causing them to repair, assist, and reclaim anything in range—including enemy units!

Use multiple on a single factory to increase build power.

You can also move Construction Turrets to other locations using a Hercules or Skyhook.

They uniquely damage only other nearby nanos when killed, but self-destruction will not damage nearby nanos. Packing them too close can lead to chain explosions. Initiating a self-destruct (or transporting) one or two, can prevent a domino effect.

The Exploiter is similar to the Metal Extractor, except it's armed with a Light Laser Tower on top and much thicker armor. It's as good as a normal extractor otherwise, except that it cannot produce metal while firing. It builds faster than a single LLT and extractor combined.

Useful for extracting metal from potentially dangerous areas, such as the frontline.

It's much tougher to destroy with a few artillery shells or missiles than a basic extractor. It can stay alive even under fire if constantly repaired, but don't count on it to fend off more than a handful of infantry bots or light tanks on its own.

Surrounding it with Dragon's Teeth can provide strong additional armor vs. direct-fire weapons.

The Advanced Solar Collector produces energy using the sun. Solar energy production is a constant +75 and is essential when wind speeds are low.

Can be used for backup energy when the wind is weak.

The Air Repair Pad automatically repairs any friendly aircraft that lands on it.

Use it to repair your air units after an attack.

You can order aircraft to land on the Air Repair Pad manually or automatically when they hit a certain level of health.

The Geothermal Powerplant produces energy using steam. Geothermal energy production is a constant +300, however, it can only be built on top of steam vents on each map.

Seize control of nearby steam vents to take advantage of reliable energy.

They’re more costly than Wind Turbines and Solar Collectors, but provide a good energy bonus when completed.

The Shroud's long-range radar jammer can effectively hide large forces or even entire bases from enemy sensors.

Use it to prevent your units and structures from being targeted by long-range weapons.

It has 60 less range than Armada's Veil, but is still quite useful nonetheless.

The Pinpointer enhances the accuracy of radar for the entire team, reducing the amount of radar dot 'wobble' by half for each targeting facility. This benefit is shared across the entire team.

Use them to improve the targeting of your artillery, especially precision weapons.

Targeting facilities have diminishing returns—the first facility reduces wobble to 50%, the second to 75%, third to 87.5%, and so on. Three is plenty in most cases.

Each facility costs -100 E to operate. Make sure your infrastructure can support them.

The Cerberus is a triple-barreled artillery platform firing salvos of three shells at a time, effectively suppressing enemy formations. It also acts as a Geothermal Powerplant that produces 450 energy.

It produces far less energy than a T2 geo, but serves as relatively cheap and effective fixed artillery.

Cerberus is good for locking down a geothermal vent in a risky position, such as one close to the frontline. Save safe vent spots for T2 geos.
