The Tokamak Generator is a power generation structure of Cartel.
Gameplay[]
Tokamak Generators are very straightforward buildings, producing large amount of power and with a reserve.
What makes the Tokamak Generator effective is its incredibly low cost for what it does. It is the only Cartel building that generates electricity and gives as much as a Power Plant while having a relatively low aluminum requirement. Though Cartel is actually independent of electricity until they start to expand their operations, many of their essential structures and most importantly their signature Underground Stock Market/Railgun Turret/Skyguard Turret all take varying amounts of electricity and several tend to be built. Having easier access to power makes Cartel base expansion much easier and allows them to pump out their powerful units faster than anyone else while keeping their economy in check. Perhaps most importantly, the Tokamak Generator has an integrated power reserve, keeping any Railgun and Skyguard Turrets online which can be what they need in a pinch to stop an enemy assault and turn the tables.
Despite its advantages, the Tokamak Generator is often frowned upon for its powerful explosion. Due to its fragility, Cartel's general inefficiency of building healing and the fact it's often built near essential structures (can only be placed near Extension Module/Rare Earth Extension Module/HQ/any powered building save for Railgun Turret/Accelerator/Underground Stock Market), a failed defense could do more than just cutting power for the next minute, forcing Cartel to spend additional resources or create an impenetrable network that stops all forms of hostile penetration, particularly airstrikes. Since multiple are usually built in close proximity to protect them better, one exploding could take the rest, making them much more vulnerable than their generally tougher counterparts. As Cartel has no other power generation structures, they can only run it with a huge risk in mind. Finally, it should be noted that Tokamak Generators must actually be built to access any of Cartel's advanced structures. Tokamak Generators remain their signature asset and their attributes still make them an essential composition to any base.
