− | The UPC can be claimed and stolen from [[mechanoid cluster]]s | + | The UPC can be claimed and stolen from [[mechanoid cluster]]s once the cluster is defeated. Beware of mechanoid turret explosions damaging the UPC, resulting in a chain explosion that can easily kill nearby colonists. Their presence presents a strategic choice; detonate the power cells from a distance to make the cluster easier to defeat, or carefully deal with the mechanoids to claim the cells for use in your base. |

+ | They glow with a radius of 4. When damaged below 50% of their HP, they have a chance to begin to "sizzle", after {{ticks|240}} they will explode. They also always explode on destruction, but not deconstruction. The resulting explosion has a radius of 9.9 tiles, and does 50 [[Damage types#Bomb|Bomb]] damage. | ||

+ | ==Trivia== | ||
Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types|Flame]] damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a [[stone]] [[wall]] which will not be ignited by [[molotov cocktails]] but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack. | Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types|Flame]] damage type.
