Thorium Base/Sandbox

General Information
Thorium bases, originally called Verkraft Thorium Compounds, are common specialty Rogue Faction Bases which contains Thorium available for you to loot instantly upon destruction. These bases may be defended by special Verkraft units, which are NPC rogue units taking on the appearance of Thorium-infused Special Forces units.

Unlike ordinary Rogue Faction bases, you need to destroy all the buildings on the Thorium Base to loot the Thorium contained in this base, and in some layouts, destroying all the units are required as well.

Spawn Schedule

 * All Thorium Compounds levels are available on the World Map continuously every day of the week.
 * The level of Thorium Compounds is based off on the number and level of players nearby. The Thorium I base is not commonly found.

Historical Information
Thorium Compounds were introduced on Sep 10, 2014 as a Boss Base, where 600,000 Thorium will be looted upon the destruction of this base. It was a Level 50 Rogue Faction base. They were temporary, only spawned during certain days of the week, and will disappear once the spawn period ended.

These bases now replace the Thorium Deposits. High-level bases used to spawn along with deposits until the removal of Thorium Deposits in January 28, 2016. Low-level Thorium Compounds, which includes the L10, L20, L30, and L40 bases, were introduced only after the deposits have been retired.

In the Resource & Thorium Base Update, all Thorium Deposits have been renamed to Thorium bases, and their title is identified with a Roman Numeral ranging from I to V - they can be identified in the following historical payout tables. The layouts are also slightly altered and the payouts unchanged from their equivalent versions before the update, though the Thorium I base has no close equivalent. Their appearance in the World Map also changed as they are now simply shown as thorium crystals of various sizes depending on the level.

The historical Thorium Compounds also yielded Prize Draws which awarded players medals and occasionally new units upon the destruction.

Prize Draw
In the past, in addition to the Thorium awarded upon the full destruction of a Thorium Compound the Player will also have a chance to win additional awards in a Prize Draw. This no longer applies once these bases became permanent.

Additional Information

 * Initially, the Verkraft Thorium Compounds were available on the World Map for a short periods of time each spawn period.
 * Spawn periods are every Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays
 * Each spawn Period has a duration of 24 hours.
 * Once a spawn period has ended all Thorium Compounds are removed from the World Map.
 * The Verkraft Thorium Compound ( Levels 10 & 20 ) have Level Protection in two stages :
 * Stage 1 : Complete Protection :
 * Compound is shown on World Map with a Protection Bubble and may NOT be attacked nor scouted at all.
 * Stage 2 : Collection Protection :
 * Compound will not s have a Protection Bubble therefore may be attacked but the Thorium may NOT be collected.

Trivia

 * The Verkraft Thorium Compound ( Level 50 ) is the first Non-Event Base or Deposit to be controlled by the Verkraft.
 * The Verkraft Thorium Compound may also be referrd as the Verkraft Thorium Base. ( Ref )
 * The Verkraft Thorium Compound ( Levels 10, 20, 30, 40 ) were sometimes called Verkraft Raid Bases. ( Ref )
 * The first Verkraft Thorium Compound ( Level 80 ) was introduced for a single day only on Jan 14, 2016.
 * It had a Payout of [[File:ThoriumICON.png]] 12,000,000 Thorium
 * It also utilized the same Prize Draw as the other compounds.
 * At the time where Operation: Thorium Rush was active, all Verkraft Thorium compounds have their level written as being 1000 levels higher. Therefore, a Level 10 compound becomes a Level 1010 compound, and a Level 80 compound becomes a Level 1080 compound.
 * This is designed to avoid confusion with the event bases.

Quotes
"Attack new Verkraft Thorium Compounds for instantaneous Thorium payouts. In addition, these Compounds also reward the same Medals and Uniques as Level 45 Hell Hounds Bases. Don't forget, these Level 50 Verkraft Bases will only appear occasionally throughout the World Map, so get them while you can!"
