I'm new to this game. I tried the search function, and didn't get a good result (just a topic about new players being warned when over-building buildpower relative to their income)

While playing the campaign, all the loading screen tips and mission tips etc are telling me that caretakers are the most efficient way of adding buildpower to my side.

Obviously,
this
is
super-important
(
I've
played
plenty
of
supreme
commander
and
total
annihilation,
so
I'm
familiar
with
having
buildpower
equal
mass
income!)

But I'm really puzzled by all the tips. From what I can gather, a caretaker (I think you guys call it a nano, a takeaway from TA I guess) costs 180, and has 10 buildpower.

A plate, otoh, costs 150, and seems to also have 10 buildpower.

Now, I know that the units take time getting 'off the plate', but does this really matter enough to make them less efficient that a caretaker (>20% of their building time?!)?

As a new player, I'm a bit confused by all the advice telling me to build caretakers for efficient buildpower, when it seems like my economy would be better suited with extra factory plates if I manage things properly and don't need the utility of a caretaker. So I'm left confused..

(And if plates indeed ARE as efficient as caretakers, then it might be worth dialing back the tooltips, really!)

Game says caretaker is most efficient - what about plates?
