Further Notes

 * 1) When fully upgraded your power plants, protect only 1-2 power plants! The third and fourth power plant is not needed.


 * 1) When placing a power plant in overdrive, in order to upgrade another; after about 2 hours, the overdrived power plant will begin to breakdown, reducing the amount of outputted power.


 * 1) At that point, you can turn overdrive off, and the repair time should be less than 5 minutes (on low level powerplants), allowing you to use the free instant repair.


 * 1) After you do that, you can put it back into overdrive again for another 4 hours. After 4 hours it explodes, but you can still repair it.


 * 1) Overdrived power plants should NEVER be left overdrived while not on War Commander because they damage themselves to destruction.


 * 1) Once a high level you should not overdrive them in the first place as high level Power Plant upgrades last longer then 4 (overdrive) hours.


 * 1) As of the November 20, 2012 update, Power Plants have been reduced in size, down to roughly half of their old size.


 * 1) With the level 6 Command Center, a 4th power plant can be built producing a total of 32,000 power of all 4 maxed.
