Power

Power is needed by most human structures in order for them to operate. All human buildings must be built within range of a power source, such as a reactor or repeater. Should this power source be destroyed then the buildings will cease to function until power is restored.

Power is provided in a spherical area by the reactor, and repeaters can be built around the map to have additional but smaller instances of such a spherical energy radius. Repeaters only power buildings if they have power themselves, so the reactor is definitely necessary.

Players commonly refer to Power as Build Points or 'BPs'.

When using the Construction Kit the amount of Power available is displayed in the bottom right corner of the HUD, where ammo is displayed.
