I'm taking your reply as a suggestion that I'm right in my assumptions about this, which helps me lots.

My query/issue, though, is why the game keeps telling new players that nano towers are 'THE most EFFICIENT' way of adding buildpower to forces... Much more than once!

When, in fact, they are not. Plates are clearly more efficient.

Yes, towers can be much more versatile, I get that

- (even though there are edge-cases where plates can offer an advantage beyond buildpower/cost - like if I have an expensive unit nearly finished, but need a constructor right NOW to reclaim or something). Generally speaking, there are more edge-cases where towers are going to be more versatile.

But the tooltips keep saying that caretakers (nanotower) are THE most efficient way of adding buildpower.

I
think
it's
a
really
confusing
thing
to
keep
telling
a
new
player,
when
the
tooltips
clearly
display
the
costs
of
a
10-buildpower
plate
at
150,
and
a
1-buildpower
tower
at
180.

I generally thought I must be missing an important resource or downside after the game kept telling me this.

Is it, perhaps, because the campaign/tooltips were made before plates were 'added' to the game? (Just my guess!)

Game says caretaker is most efficient - what about plates?
